Issues The chicken and the egg
• The institutions hesitated to implement FEIDE because the lack of services
• The Service providers hesitated to implement because the lack of users
We have to identity providers in Norway
1. FEIDE.no: Education identity provider2. minside.no (mypage.no): governmental
services (Tax, medical information, address of residence, unemployment benefits etc…. )
Issues Most ID-providers (campus) is using
FEIDE password / username but with a local login routine and not single-sign-on • It would be better if they where using the
“FEIDE single sign-on” service for local services as well (LMS/VLE, e-mail etc )
• Then the user would already be logged on at external services
Issues User are commonly redirected to an
external login-page. This is bad usability and many users are confused by this
Data quality • Few attributes are mandatory• No attribute for subject or discipline • User role not suited for the primary and lower
secondary school (student, employee, faculty, staff, alum, affiliate)
Usecase for utdanning.no

control of the business model Personalization
• My subject, my curriculum, my content Web 2.0 Get people together
• Same school, same subject A closer connection to the VLE
