Abstract

The purpose of this study was to first briefly analyse the concept of a virtual school. The aim of the empirical part was to exemplify how a virtual school based learning environment can be created and established in a Finnish educational context. For this purpose, a Finnish case study conducted in 1996-1997 as part of the activities of the European Observatory was analysed.
