Quality procedures
No special quality procedures for e-learning in Sweden have been identified, but individual universities may have internal control schemes. All quality questions in higher education are governed by Högskoleverket and they have a much broader focus than e-learning.
Here are three relevant reports from Högskoleverket, the English report was published in 2008, the two Swedish from 2011 and 2009.
Skolinspektionen controls that pre-schools, schools and adult education follows the laws and makes sure they maintain good quality. Both on regular basis and when necessary.
Internet in Sweden/OER
The Swedish government has a digital agende titled: Digitala agendan i Sverige
Minister of IT and Energy, Anna Karin Hatt has made several presentations about the digital agenda.
You can also read about the Digital agenda in the governmental report It i människans tjänst - en digital agenda för Sverige.
Sweden's digital agenda is linked to the EU Digital agenda.
Information on Internet in Sweden is also available in Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_in_Sweden and Stiftelsen För internetinfrastruktur which is responsible for the swedish top domain.SE https://www.iis.se/

OER Initiatives in Sweden/OER
According to OECD Education Working Papers, No. 76. Open Educational Resources: “Sweden states that it is difficult or impossible to estimate the percentage of digital learning materials being offered as OER since most initiatives are still limited in size”.(1)
The working paper is based on an analysis of responses from 28 OECD countries to a questionnaire conducted in 2012. Jan Hylén, the Swedish main author of the paper, writes in his Swedish online introduction to the report that Sweden is one of only three countries to report that there is no national, strategic discussion on OER.
National OER initiatives
Länkskafferiet
Länkskafferiet is a Swedish Link Library for educational use. It is meant to be a pedagogical aid for Swedish pupils from 5 to 18 years of age, in their search for useful information on the Internet. Teachers and librarians can use the service to guide the pupils in their search and find good resources for lesson planning.
Länkskafferiet consists of subject structured and quality-assessed resources. All the web sites are classified and arranged in 12 main themes and 20 curriculum subjects. The classification is based upon the traditional Swedish classification system for public and school libraries.
Länkskafferiet has continuing support from Umeå University. It started in April 1995. From 1995 to 2003 Länkskafferiet was developed and maintained by LUB NetLab, a part of the Lund University Libraries. From 2003 to 2008 the service was developed and maintained by the Swedish National Agency for School Improvement. From 2008 to 2011 it was developed and maintained by the Swedish National Agency for Education.
Skolverket
The National Agency for Education (Skolverket) is the central administrative authority for the public school system, publicly organised preschooling, school-age childcare and for adult education. The site includes a page with links and information about digital learning resources. One interesting initiative is the search engine Spindeln which is set up to search for digital resources for school work. The technology behind the search engine is developed at the University of Umeå in collaboration with Skolverket. According to information from Umeå University, it covers over 200,000 open educational resources.
The Open Access project
