As the FIM was mainly involved in the part on holding distributed courses, the report deals mainly with these issues: Organizsation, planning and holding courses, where the participants work together in distributed groups, using only the internet. Several critical points are identified and ideas presented, how to avoid or ameliorate them. Also included are abstracts of the results of three courses, held in connection with this project with the topics: Teleworking, Internet-Websites and CBT-materials (Computer-Based-Training).
