• Designed carefully in co-operation with teacher, web-support and pedagogical experts = teamwork
• The e-learning environment and the learning tasks are focused on supporting the students’ learning processes
• 'University pedagogy’ a basis for teaching
• Students in the web-based courses were more satisfied for the feedback than ”face-to-face students” (Repo 2010)’
• Younger students prefer face-to-face and have more conservative study
• Approx. 40 % face-to-face, 40 % blended learning and 20 % purely web-based
