Päivi Kananen

I have an extensive experience in higher education and adult education. I have worked in various national and international development projects, working groups and in-service programmes as a project manager, a researcher and an expert. I have worked on the field of continuing Professional education almost twenty years. Currently, I work in the FORTHEM alliance as Skills and Competences Mission Board manager.

In addition, I have trained and guided professionals and international students both face-to-face and online using different web based solutions.  During my working years, I have been building and producing many online courses for different online platforms. I have also led the production of 5 Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs). Previously, while working as a programme director, I coordinated and built the MBA programme on Educational Leadership (blended programme) at the Institute of Educational Leadership, on the basis of which the Master of Educational Management and Leadership online programme I led was constructed.
