Lund is a mediaeval city with the university at its heart. A thousand years of history and academic excellence have created a dynamic and entrepreneurial environment. The city has striking architecture and, in a city of 100,000 people where approximately 39 000 of them are students, the atmosphere is vibrant and stimulating.

e-Learning

The e-learning offerings at Lund University have gone through several stages. There is a case study report that describes this. See The process at Lund University, Sweden to make eLearning an integrated part of the educational system. This was done for the ALPINE project.

Lund also developed the LUVIT LMS.

Follow-up

Lund is a prestigious university and not too large to be irrelevant to many European universities. It looks like a good subject for a case study.
