Objective
The object of the course
Even though more than 75% of worlds desktop computers and laptops run on Microsoft Windows operating system there are two big contenders which are used in professional working environments. Those are macOS by Apple and open source Linux variants from different groups and non-profits. Together they are called the big three.
Using computers on daily life to surf the web or watching internet videos is completely different than using computers, and their respective operating systems, efficiently. When you complete this course, you will know the basics of the three big different operating systems and how to work with them efficiently.

You have the right to apply for recognition of your studies if you have prior learning (e.g. university studies completed elsewhere) that can be accredited towards the degree you are currently completing.
The recognition of prior learning is possible in three primary ways: accreditation (replacement or inclusion), recognition of informal learning and studification. More precise info: JAMK Degree Regulations, section 17.
First contact will have a starting level exam. If you pass that, you will pass the course.
Student workload
One credit corresponds to an average of 27 hours of work, which means that the load of five credits is approximately 80 hours. The load is distributed in different ways depending on the course implementation.
- Contact lessons and labwork: 40h
- Individual work and excercises: 40h
Content scheduling
