NKI Distance Education
Today NKI is the leading distance education institution in Norway and the largest distance education institutions in Northern Europe.
NKI Distance Education was one of the first institutions world-wide to offer online education when it in 1987 launched its first online distance learning courses based on a conferencing system developed internally specifically for distance education. Since then NKI online education is based on large-scale integration of technology and systems for distance education.
NKI Distance Education offers over 450 courses and study programmes at secondary and undergraduate level, as well as specialized vocational training courses in various fields. The school employs some 60 full-time and 250 part-time tutors. Each year, NKI Distance Education has around 20 000 active students out of a Norwegian population of 4.6 million inhabitants.
