Tuure's Teaching

Dr. Tuunanen has taughts courses in degree programs at Aalto University, University of Auckland, University of Oulu and several other universities around the world. His experience ranges from teaching introductory courses with 1200 students to master's courses with 150 students. He actively applies new teaching technologies and methods in his courses, and believes that a lecturer can make an impact in the class room. In addition, he is doing pedagogical research on the topics of curriculum design's impact on student research performance (with Upplasa University) and online technologies impact on teaching (with University of Auckland and Karlsruhe Institute of Technology).

He is currently teaching at University of Jyväskylä. The below syllabuses provide some details on his courses at the moment. In addition, Dr. Tuunanen has been teaching short courses and eMBA/MBA modules on the topics of digital service design, and he actively teaches doctoral level courses on design science research and digital and cyber physical services.

TJTS566 DIGITAL SERVICE INNOVATION AND DESIGN

Course Description

This course focuses on digital service research, more specifically on innovation and design of digital services. We start by looking at the nature of the field as shown by academic journals, conferences, researchers and institutions. This is then followed by a critical examination and evaluation of contemporary service research on a variety of topics. The idea is to give you a broad understanding of the digital service innovation and design field as a whole.

Goals of the Course

The academic goal of the course is to prepare students for doing research in the area of digital service innovation and design. A basic grounding in the concepts underlying research in the discipline is essential if students are to succeed in completing the graduate program.

This course is designed to introduce students to digital service research. Students need to understand the nature of service research as a discipline and current research issues and themes. A number of current research areas will be identified and representative papers examined.

The course will also apply the theoretical concepts in practice in order familiarize the students with the practical problems of digital service innovation and design.

TJTSM55 INFORMATION SYSTEMS THEORIES / TJTJ774 INFORMATION SYSTEMS RESEARCH

Course Description

This course focuses on Information Systems research and the nature of the discipline. We start by looking at the nature of the field as shown by IS journals, conferences, researchers and institutions. This is then followed by a critical examination and evaluation of contemporary IS research on a variety of topics. The idea is to give you a broad understanding of the IS field as a whole. The course is offered at master’s (TJTSM55) and doctoral degree levels (TJTJ774).

Research in Information Systems (sometimes referred to as Management Information Systems) can be described as bothinter-disciplinary and applied. It is inter-disciplinaryin that a number of reference disciplines (e.g. Management Science, Computer Science, Organization Theory, Psychology, Communications and Sociology) contribute some of the concepts, techniques, and research questions addressed by the field. Information Systems is appliedin the sense that the focus is on the application of the basic concepts to the problem of analysis, design, implementation, and evaluation of computer-based information systems in managerial and organizational settings. The constant introduction of new information technology and the continual discovery of new application areas ensures that IS research is dynamic, relevant and exciting.

Goals of the Course

The academic goal of most graduate students in the medium term is to complete a unique research project (e.g. Masters or PhD Theses). Therefore, the graduate programme in the IS is designed to prepare students for doing research. A basic grounding in the concepts underlying research in the discipline is essential if students are to succeed in completing the graduate programme.

This course is designed to introduce students to IS research. Students need to understand the nature of IS as a discipline and current research issues and themes. A number of current research areas will be identified and representative papers examined.
