Kuling.net

Kuling.net is a pedagogically designed resource on the internet within which both schools and others may find exciting information about their local surroundings which the local museums of the Øksnes, Sortland and Bø municipalities of Vesterålen, northern Norway has made available to the public. Many of the resources are trustworthy resources added by authorized contributors, comprising local stories and descriptions as well as photographic material. All resources are marked with an icon of quality when added by a qualified person in order to ensure the authenticity and reliability of the material. The museums of Bø, Sortland and Øksnes have the editorial and professional responsibility for the content found on the website.

NDLA

"The National Arena for Digital Learning" (NDLA) is a joint initiative of the communal centres of Norway with the intention of establishing freely available, dynamic websites for all subjects in the Norwegian high school. Cerpus is engaged as advisor and web master for the NDLA system.

Drupal

Drupal is a popular and powerful open source web CMS written in PHP and licensed under the GNU general Public License. It is developed and maintained by a very large community of users and developers, and is thus a vital and dynamic open source project.
