Global E-Learning in a Scandinavian Perspective

Morten Flate Paulsen

With Contributions Concerning Online Education in Denmark and Sweden by Søren Nipper and Carl Holmberg
Prior to year 2000 Scandinavian universities offered selected online courses attracting a few pioneering students. Today, even primary schools offer online services to students, teachers and parents. Online education is becoming mainstream education in Scandinavia.

This book is intended for an international audience with an interest in education and the Internet. It will be of special value to students, teachers, course designers, administrators, decision makers and educational officers in public and private sectors.

The book discusses major developments in online education, and provides illustrating examples from the author’s Scandinavian and international research. It includes articles outlining a theory of online education, teaching techniques, learning management systems, recommendations for decision makers and terminology.

The author, Dr. Morten Flate Paulsen, has worked within the field of online education since 1985. In this book he combines theoretical articles with popular anecdotes and personal experiences. This untraditional approach has made the book comprehensive, interesting and enjoyable.

The book’s online resource page contains further information, including a list of contents and a multimedia interview with the author.
