Online education provides opportunities for flexible learning as part of busy lives in Northern Norway. It allows farmers to learn while working on their tractors, taxi drivers to study while waiting for customers, and reindeer herders to earn a degree while caring for their herds in the mountains. Examples are given of courses in economics for farmers delivered through podcasts and online assignments, and a licensing course for taxi drivers delivered in small "nano" portions for study on the go. Flexible online education can accommodate various urban and rural lifestyles and locations.
