Virta-opiston will continue teaching partly online next week

Distance education is about to start at Virta-opisto to the extent that it is possible.
As for the music school, distance learning starts on Monday 23.3. and, as a rule, the lessons are held at the times they have been.

─ But especially with regard to music lessons, students can contact the teacher if they wish and agree on a remote music lesson that deviates from the normal schedule, headmaster Sarianna Purtilo says.

It is very possible that the distance learning lesson does not follow exactly the same pattern as face-to-face teaching and that part of the lesson is based on a remote connection and part of the lesson is done via messages, remote assignments, filming videos or in other creative ways.

The times of group lessons are the same, unless the teacher announces changes separately.

Unfortunately, unlike the rest of the teaching, the orchestra activities are suspended during exceptional circumstances.

The labor college is also partially virtual

Distance education will be organized at the Norwegian University of Technology in at least some of the language, art subjects and manual skills courses, as well as in the basic art education groups. Regarding the groups, the teachers will be in direct contact with the students.
─ The forms and possibilities of distance education are currently being investigated.
In those groups where distance learning is not possible, i.e. teaching ends this spring, students will be informed as soon as possible.

Possible course fee refunds will be announced at the same time.
