The ''Linnaeus University'' ('''Linnéuniversitetet''', Lnu) supports distance learning.
 
 
<!-- Say something brief about its mission etc. -->
Lnu is a dual-campus university that was formed by the merger of Växjö University and the University of Kalmar, which is officially in practice since 1 January 2010. Lnu sees as its main attraction points: the range of degree programmes and courses, its openness for new ideas and its international profile.
 
 
<!-- The ABBREV is usually a 3-6 letter string typically used as a short reference to the University. -->
The Linnaeus University offices and campuses are located in Kalmar and in Växjö, [[Sweden]].
 
 
<!-- Say something fairly brief about the teaching methods, number of students, staff etc. -->
After the merge, this university enrolls 31,000 students, 15,000 full-time equivalents and employs 2,000 members of staff. Lnu enables distance learning through its LMS system: ''You communicate with the teacher and other students with the help of a web-based study place / learning platform consisting of discussion forums, group work, recorded lectures or video meetings / conferences with the help of a web camera.''
 
The university requires its distance students to still have contact hours, either at the university or [http://www.larcentra.se municipal learning centers]: ''Students from a number of geographical locations are linked via a video conference in order to benefit from lectures or participate in seminars.''
