This programme allowed students to follow any course by going to the centre nearest to them. To accomplish its objectives, VUC needed a trusted expert and partner in distant learning.

Initially, the network connected classrooms in Nakskov, Naestved, Fakse, Vordingborg, Maribo and Nykobin, and due to its great success has expanded to 13 classrooms delivering courses through video collaboration. In 2011 they were the first to expand the model to allow students to attend lessons virtually, using a home computer adding greater flexibility.

Dermed er det muligt at hente de første gevinster ved hele Femern Bælt-projektet. Ud fra den nuværende tidsplan forventes det, at Femern Bælt-forbindelsen står klar til brug i 2028, jf. den finansielle analyse (Femern A/S, 2016). Til den tid bliver det langt hurtigere at komme til Tyskland med tog og bil. Lang tid før vil de lokale og regionale rejsende med tog dog opleve at komme hurtigere frem. Allerede i 2018 åbner den nye jernbane mellem København og Ringsted over Køge.

  • A Brief History of Medieval Monasticism in Denmark (With Schleswig, Rügen and Estonia)
    religions Article A Brief History of Medieval Monasticism in Denmark (with Schleswig, Rügen and Estonia) Johnny Grandjean Gøgsig Jakobsen Department of Nordic Studies and Linguistics, University of Copenhagen, 2300 Copenhagen, Denmark; [email protected] Abstract: Monasticism was introduced to Denmark in the 11th century. Throughout the following five centuries, around 140 monastic houses (depending on how to count them) were established within the Kingdom of Denmark, the Duchy of Schleswig, the Principality of Rügen and the Duchy of Estonia. These houses represented twelve different monastic orders. While some houses were only short lived and others abandoned more or less voluntarily after some generations, the bulk of monastic institutions within Denmark and its related provinces was dissolved as part of the Lutheran Reformation from 1525 to 1537. This chapter provides an introduction to medieval monasticism in Denmark, Schleswig, Rügen and Estonia through presentations of each of the involved orders and their history within the Danish realm. In addition, two subchapters focus on the early introduction of monasticism to the region as well as on the dissolution at the time of the Reformation. Along with the historical presentations themselves, the main and most recent scholarly works on the individual orders and matters are listed. Keywords: monasticism; middle ages; Denmark Citation: Jakobsen, Johnny Grandjean Gøgsig. 2021. A Brief For half a millennium, monasticism was a very important feature in Denmark. From History of Medieval Monasticism in around the middle of the 11th century, when the first monastic-like institutions were Denmark (with Schleswig, Rügen and introduced, to the middle of the 16th century, when the last monasteries were dissolved Estonia).
