is necessary to give opportunities for discussion and work with pedagogical subjects to 

establish the base for flexible learning. We have started to give seminars in these areas in will 

try to develop this further. During 1999 we will have all courses on web, based on LEKTOR   

still the focus will be interaction and not transport of information. The reason for using WWW 

is that we see an increase in the number of students using local  Studyshops  and also an 

increasing interest from the market in using this method, for example has some factories made 

 Studyshops  for their employed. We also see a need for collaboration on various levels 

within the educational system, both in Sweden and international.
