by Lumi Viljakainen 28 Aug '23

28 Aug '23

Hei, The university has published guidelines for the use of AI in education<https://patio.oulu.fi/en/services-and-instructions/education-services/educa…> in the intranet Patio (accessible for staff only). I searched the guidelines from the university's open web pages, but couldn't find them, so students don't yet know about the guidelines. Best wishes, Lumi

FYI: Invoicing extra hours of teaching
by Lumi Viljakainen 25 Aug '23

25 Aug '23

Hei, HR has provided new instructions<https://patio.oulu.fi/fi/palvelut-ja-ohjeet/henkilosto/palkat-ja-palkkiot/o…> for invoicing extra hours of teaching, i.e. if your teaching hours exceed what has been agreed on the work plan. It is noteworthy that "The compensation shall be paid based on an hourly wage, which can be calculated by dividing the employee's annual salary with the number 1600. The employee and the line manager cannot agree on a different wage, as the collective agreement dictates the compensation.". Best wishes, Lumi

Many thanks for your help!

We are in the fight of our lives. And we are losing. Greenhouse gas emissions keep growing. Global temperatures keep rising. And our planet is fast approaching tipping points that will make climate chaos irreversible. We are on a highway to climate hell with our foot still on the accelerator. The war in Ukraine, other conflicts, have caused so much bloodshed and violence and have had dramatic impacts all over the world. But we cannot accept that our attention is not focused on climate change. We must of course work together to support peace efforts and end the tremendous suffering. But climate change is on a different timeline, and a different scale. It is the defining issue of our age. It is the central challenge of our century. It is unacceptable, outrageous and self-defeating to put it on the back burner". Antonio Guterres, UN SECRETARY-GENERAL, Speech at opening of COP27, Sharm El-Sheikh, 7 November 2022

REMINDER: Using AI in teaching and learning
by Lumi Viljakainen 22 Aug '23

22 Aug '23

Hei all, This is a kind reminder of tomorrow's discussion on using AI in teaching and learning in PR101 at 13:00 (calendar invitation sent on June 22nd). We will discuss how to use AI in teaching and learning tasks before the courses start. The university is preparing a policy, but it seems to be quite general meaning that we need to discuss how to prepare for teaching and what is our degree programme's own policy regarding e.g. Bachelor's and master's theses, essays, and such. Everybody in the unit is welcome meaning teaching staff, postdocs, PhD students, and all others interested! See you tomorrow! Best wishes, Lumi Viljakainen Director of Degree and Master's Programmes in Biology -- Lumi Viljakainen, Ph.D. University Lecturer Ecology and Genetics Research Unit P.O. Box 3000 90014 University of Oulu tel: +358 29 448 1530 https://www.oulu.fi/en/researchers/lumi-viljakainen
