To slow down the spread of Covid19, schools and learning providers close their doors. Now, they ask their teachers to move classes online. What advice can we give those who are making their first experiments with teaching on the internet? Norsk Nettskole shares some of its experiences after 20 years of working with teachers to adapt education to web-based and web-supported learning.

 Online learning continuously presents us with new possibilities.
What is currently sweeping over us are two new terms: micro lessons and nano learning.
What this has to do with fertilizer you may need to be a farmer to understand. On the bags, it says “granulated fertilizer”.
This means that instead of just a fine dust, like it used to be, this fertilizer is gathered in granules- Each granule has a functional size, and contain each of the ingredients necessary to ensure optimized growth.
When talking about distance learning, we also use the term ‘granulated’ quite a lot these days.

Pedit is a tool that can be used also for nanolearning. 

A quick search online will show you that these terms are used about a broad variety of techniques and methods. As always, someone has registered them with .com, and made the terms “theirs” with a very narrow definition. Often combined with a software product they’re selling. 
The terms “micro lesson” and “nano learning” are often used interchangeably. But in Norsk Nettskole, we’ve chosen to use “Micro lesson” to mean the format we use when we’re facilitating “nano learning.”

New owners for Pedit and Norsk Nettskole.

The Norwegian Learning Management System (LMS) Pedit is sold to employees and partners in Norway and the Netherlands. The operation of courses and classes is also transferred to employees from July 1st 2017.

Two new companies are created to continue operations.

This is from the blog on the website to our Dutch partner, 12change. 
The berlinerkey is a model when developing Pedit. 

ICT in schools is more than just “plugging in” old learning processes. 
Already in 1998, the Dane Steen Larsen was writing critically about teachers’ use of ICT in the classroom. The same thing was happening all over, from local primary schools to the noblest universities: teaching methods that had been passed down for generations were now plugged into the wall, but remained otherwise unchanged. ICT was used to distribute content, the same way a book would be handed out in a classroom. It is a telling fact that, during my own studies – studies of the pedagogical use of ICT in education – PDF was the most commonly used file format.
