Utdanning.no is a portal owned by the Norwegian Ministry of Education and Research that serves as a national gateway for education-related information, resources, and services. It offers centralized repositories for course descriptions and learning objects with associated metadata. It also provides a framework for publishing learning content from external editorial groups, mainly composed of teachers, with the goal of creating comprehensive subject-specific materials that could replace traditional textbooks. Content produced by teachers can be licensed under Creative Commons while most publishing companies do not accept those licenses, so the portal supports a mix of CC-licensed and non-CC content.
