Kurssi on täysin virtualisoitu (Moodle). Opiskelija etenee omaan tahtiinsa Moodlessa eri aihealueissa. Kurssi on rakennettu pelillisesti siten, että vakioitujen osaamistestien perusteella opiskelija pääsee uuteen aiheeseen (teemaan). Viimeisen aiheen jälkeen hän voi suorittaa lopputentin Moodlessa. Lisäksi opiskelija tekee yksin tai ryhmässä harjoitustyön (projektisuunnitelma).

Teorian opiskeluun Moodlessa (lisäkirjallisuuden kanssa) ja pelillisten tasotestien ja loppukokeen tekoon Moodlessa menee opiskelijalta aikaa 55 - 70 tuntia. Harjoitustyön tekoon 10 - 25 tuntia.
