Abstract
The Nordic open online Academy (NooA) was established as a private online school and accredited by the Norwegian Ministry of Education and Research in 2012.
NooA’s aim is to become an international centre for online courses and programs. So far, NooA offers 60 online courses in Norwegian, English, Swedish and Danish. The courses are offered through the multilingual, open source, learning platform Moodle. All courses are completely online and based on the Theory of Cooperative Freedom and Transparency in Online Education.
The presentation focuses on how Campus NooA implements the theory with regard to freedom in time, space, pace, medium, access, content, transparency and cooperation in online education.

The most interesting pedagogical challenge in our
lifetime is to provide online education that combines
individual freedom with meaningful cooperation.
I have struggled with this challenge since I first
introduced my Theory of Cooperative Freedom in 1992.
