Continuous tracking of turn around time ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],The average response time  dropped month by month during the Fall of 2004. In October it showed 3,97 days, in November 3,06 days and in December 2,76 days. Since then, the average response time has been less than 3 days except during summer holidays. In 2008 we introduced an automatic e-mail reminder to the tutors who had one ore more assignments waiting for 7 days or more.
NKI introduced the individual planning system as a voluntary option in May 2004.
In January 2009 we started to e-mail individual monthly progress reports to all students ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Lists with information about next submission number and planned submission date makes cooperation easier

How to manage 28 self-paced courses, three kids and a job in the North Sea Thor Steinsland www.nki.no/pp/steinslandt presented his experiences at the EDEN Research Workshop in Paris, October 2008
There are NKI students who understand Norwegian in about 40 countries Translated by Google from www.nki.no/pp/ThereseSvihus
Presented with permission from  www.nki.no/pp/LexidhSolstad I now try to get a diploma showing that I can write. Have worked as a TV journalist … but now the Fibromyalgia pains restrains me so much that I have to work from bed in the future.
Translated by Google from www.nki.no/skole/pp/ViviHurtley I was accepted as a psychology student at the university, but had no interpreter, so I chose to study online to combine family life and education. I need a sign language interpreter to follow  traditional lectures, since I am deaf. So it is ideal with NKI, since I do not need an interpreter.

  • 26. Translated by Google from www.nki.no/skole/pp/ViviHurtley I was accepted as a psychology student at the university, but had no interpreter, so I chose to study online to combine family life and education. I need a sign language interpreter to follow traditional lectures, since I am deaf. So it is ideal with NKI, since I do not need an interpreter.
