Digital Toolkit

<h2>Digilecturer activities</h2>Each school at TAMK has digilecturers or specialists who act as experts in digital pedagogical themes. The goals and focus areas of the activities are defined within the school together with heads of competence areas and degree programmes. This ensures the activities better support the unit’s operations and objectives.Digilecturers work closely with, among others, the school’s continuous learning manager and<a href="https://intra.tuni.fi/en/teaching/teaching-0/digital-pedagogical-support-tamk" data-entity-type="external"> TAMK’s Digiedagogy</a> team. The resourcing of digilecturers is managed by the Teaching and Learning Centre (TLC) together with the schools. TLC also supports the development of digilecturers’ own competence based on needs.<h3>Shared Collaboration</h3>All digilecturers are encouraged to join the <a href="https://teams.microsoft.com/l/team/19%3Aec09857231f24aacbdc8a3b449a64de1%40thread.tacv2/conversations?groupId=5192042b-8fa6-46f8-8400-875cf95a3d65&amp;tenantId=fa6944af-cc7c-4cd8-9154-c01132798910" data-entity-type="external">TLC-toimijayhteisö</a> (practitioner community), where SIG channels provide space for asking questions and sharing ideas. The community is open to all staff in the Tampere Universities, so discussions there also spread knowledge beyond the digilecturer and mentor activities. Digilecturers also have their own channel in the community for organising their activities.<h3>TAMK’s Digilecturers and Specialists</h3><ul type="disc"><li>Business and Media: <a href="https://intra.tuni.fi/en/content/user/1933">Miina Kivelä</a>, <a href="https://intra.tuni.fi/en/content/user/138980">Hanna Schroderus</a></li><li>Pedagogical Innovations and Culture: <a href="https://intra.tuni.fi/en/content/user/465">Henri Annala</a>, <a href="https://intra.tuni.fi/en/content/user/107880">Ville Palkinen</a>, <a href="https://intra.tuni.fi/en/content/user/4161">Matti Ruippo</a></li><li>Built Environment and Bioeconomy: <a href="https://intra.tuni.fi/en/content/user/9416">Mauri Laasonen</a></li><li>Social Services and Health Care: <a href="https://intra.tuni.fi/en/content/user/1438">Marja Jaronen</a>, <a href="https://intra.tuni.fi/en/content/user/49858">Sanna Keskikuru</a></li><li>Industrial Engineering: <a href="https://intra.tuni.fi/en/content/user/47295">Iina Nieminen</a></li></ul>

The Digimentor network is a peer support network that promotes digitalisation across Tampere University. The digimentors not only encourage the faculties to consider the benefits of digitalisation but also offer support for using digital tools and disseminating good practices within our higher education community.The Digimentor network was established in January 2019 to support the new Tampere Universities community. Although all the network members are working towards shared goals, they can also define individual goals tailored to the specific needs of different disciplines. The network brings together representatives of our faculties to share knowledge and good practices from the perspective of their own field. Knowledge and ideas are shared to promote the appropriate use of digital technologies and thereby support learning, research and community engagement.<h3>Coordinators:</h3>Sari Leinonen, sari.j.leinonen [at] tuni.fi Susanna Mettälä, susanna.mettala [at] tuni.fi
