English Abstract
Distributed learning is defined as learning that makes use of distributed resources and the breaking down of traditional boundaries between face-to-face and open and distance learning. Examples of distributed learning from three countries, Iceland, Canada and Finland, are discussed and the differences in approaches adopted by the three countries and that they are reflected in the policy, organization and methods used.
Icelandic Abstract
Dreifnám er skilgreint sem nám sem nýtir margvísleg úrræði og brýtur niður hefðbundin mörk milli hefðbundinnar kennslu í kennslustofu og fjarnáms. Dæmi um dreifnám í þrem löndum, Íslandi, Kanad og Finnlandi eru rædd í greininni og skoðaðar mismunandi nálganir og útfærslur í tengslum við stefnu, skipulagi og þær aðferðir sem notaðar eru.
