DigiCampus has implemented the Kickstart course format, along with its own course template. The templates have been created separately in Finnish, English, and Swedish.
Kickstart works so that when a new course is created, it no longer appears as a blank page as before. Instead, the user sees a starting view, where the instructor can choose a course template on which to build the course. The templates include a preview, allowing the instructor to see what the template looks like. If desired, the instructor can also choose a blank course as the template.
The DigiCampus template contains headings with brief descriptions of the essential information that should be included in a course to ensure clarity for students. The first section of the template provides instructions for instructors on how to use the template. Using the template as the basis for your course is recommended. However, if you choose not to use a template, it is still advisable to review it to ensure that your course includes the same essential information compiled in the template.
