Abstract

Abstract JITOL (Just In Time Open Learning) as a project under the DELTA programme was particularly aiming at professional training and upgrading in specified fields. Participation in the project gave valuable experiences with electronic networks and distribution of learning material. A growing interest in flexible learning led to the establishment of a new, national project, NITOL (Norwaynet with IT for Open Learning, 1994‐95) that applies the Jitol concept within higher education. Four Norwegian universities and colleges have joined forces in offering courses for credits, online on the academic network, Norwaynet. The combination of electronic conferences and mail systems with attachment/appendix facilities, gives a synergy effect for academic staff and students at the four institutions involved, as well as for groups or individuals that join the electronic learning environment through INTERNET or by private modems. This may be regarded as a continuance of the JITOL activities.
