Information from your programme coordinator
Welcome to Linnaeus University and the new master’s programme in Informatics. My name is Päivi Jokela (link to the staff page) and I am one of the three programme coordinators for this master’s programme. Frida Magnusdotter Ivarsson (link to Frida’s page) is coordinating the specialization AI-driven digital transformation, and Juan Velasquez (link to Juan’s page) the specialization Human–Computer Interaction (HCI).
At Linnaeus University, we use the digital learning platform Moodle. The master’s programme in Informatics has a Moodle page where we communicate important information to our programme students: Link to the programme page

Course literature
During the first study period, both specializations will take the courses Contemporary issues in informatics research and development, 7.5 credits, and AI for Competitive Advantage, 7.5 credits.
You can find the course syllabi and course literature here (link).
Equipment
We are using Moodle to distribute content, communicate, and collaborate; therefore, it is recommended that you have access to your own laptop that is no more than two years old.
Moreover, as a distance student, you’ll need bandwidth enough for audio and video conferencing, as well as a headset for good sound quality and a web camera for enabling visual communication.
