Finland: Wilma — Most popular teaching, learning and assessment platform

NordenBladet – What is Wilma? Wilma, in the context of the global internet, serves as a versatile Service Virtualization tool that combines the functions of a Service Stub and an HTTP/HTTPS Transparent Proxy, primarily utilized by software developers and testers. However, in this article, we shift our focus to the Finnish perspective, specifically discussing Wilma as the web interface for educational purposes.

Wilma.fi stands as widely adopted educational platform, fostering a digital learning journey from kindergarten through high school. This platform plays a pivotal role in organizing and assessing educational activities, facilitating seamless communication, and enhancing information flow between educational institutions and students’ families.

Wilma operates as the web interface for educational institution management, ensuring a secure environment for teaching and early childhood education. Notably, it’s increasingly adopting a microservices architecture, incorporating both self-developed and partner-produced services. All data interactions within Wilma are directly synchronized with underlying databases like Kurree and Primus, ensuring real-time data accuracy, availability, and consistency.

Within Wilma, students have the ability to select courses, track their academic progress, access bulletins, and communicate with their teachers. Meanwhile, educators can input grades and attendance records, update their personal information, and engage with students and their guardians. For guardians, Wilma serves as a vital tool to monitor and investigate their child’s attendance, establish communication channels with teachers, and stay informed about school announcements.

Furthermore, Wilma is utilized by educational institution staff, management, and workplace supervisors, enhancing overall administrative efficiency.

To access Wilma, users can log in on the Wilma.fi website by entering their respective usernames and passwords in the designated fields. This service is accessible in both Finnish and Swedish languages.

In Helsinki, schools have widely adopted the Wilma web interface, offering guardians invaluable insights into instructional details and teaching arrangements. For students, it’s a means to track their academic journeys, while in general upper secondary schools, it facilitates course enrollment and management.

To whom and on what terms

Guardians receive their username and password for Wilma when their child starts school. Guardians lose their Wilma username and password when the student turns 18. Pupils receive their usernames and passwords from the school.

Wilma is part of Visma Enterprise Oy. Visma Enterprise offers a wide range of educational management electronic services and HR and workforce management solutions.
