dc.description.abstract |
In the early nineties, a grassroots movement of educators in rural districts initiated a nationwide network and connected
most Icelandic schools to the Internet. The development of online and blended learning at the compulsory level involved:
language-related projects; projects in rural schools; and efforts to increase course selection through collaboration between
schools and access to upper secondary level courses. At the upper secondary level, in 1994 to 2005, pioneering distance
programs started in a few schools. In the following years, blended and online learning developed to various extent
in all schools with the aid of Learning Management Systems (LMSs). Results from a 2010 evaluation study involving
three main distance education providers are outlined and an overview of selected cases provided which shed light on
recent development. It is concluded that there is a need for stronger policies and support from authorities regarding the
development of distance, online learning and blended learning at the primary and secondary level in Iceland. |
