AbstractI will discuss the practical experiences of teaching and administrating a web-based distance course in Business Administration distributed from Örebro University to both campus students and students from other parts of Sweden. The project also involves the cooperation with twenty community learning centres. The presentation will be practically oriented and therefore beneficial to teachers and administrators who are interested in introducing IT as a tool for both distance education and campus courses. I will discuss topics such as the technical and pedagogical challenge teachers are likely to be faced with, including the issues of teamwork, student activity and student feedback.

In an attempt to change the negative development they have established learning centres in order to bring university courses closer to the inhabitants.
