Kristo Raun kaitses 2024. aastal Tartu Ülikoolis doktorikraadi informaatika erialal. Praegu tegutseb ta arvutiteaduse instituudis õppejõuna ning juhib taskuhäälingusaadet „Laomees ja torumees“. Teda usutles andmeteaduse õppetooli juhataja professor Jaak Vilo. Sa said hiljuti valmis oma doktoritöö andmetehnikast ja alustasid nüüd andmeteaduse lektorina. Kirjelda palun paari lausega oma doktoritööd. Uurisin oma doktoritöös seda, kuidas teha äriprotsesside […]

E-õppe algusajaks Tartu Ülikoolis võib pidada aastat 1998, kui saadi Avatud Eesti Fondi  rahastus projektile “Avatud Ülikool kaasaegseks kaugkoolituskeskuseks”. 2023. aasta maikuus möödus sellest ajast täpselt 25 aastat. Arvutiteaduse instituudi pikaajaline vanemmetoodik Tiina Lasn, kes seda projekti juhtis, jagab järgnevalt oma mõtteid ja meenutusi. Kuidas siis täpsemalt meil e-õppega alustati?  Avatud Eesti Fondi projekti “Avatud […]
