Publishing framework Utdanning.no offers this as service for external editorial groups. Utdanning.no does not want any editorial responsibility. By now it is offered to a cooperation of local governments. They use it for three different subjects at high school. Their ambition is to make the content so comprehensive that it could replace the traditional book. The content is partly produced by teachers and partly bought from publishing companies.
