Abstrakt Detta är en hermeneutisk studie där vi använt oss av intervjuer som datainsamlingsmetod. Vi har studerat samarbete ur ett lärarperspektiv i distansundervisning på Blekinge Tekniska högskola (BTH). Vad vi fann var att lärarna och deras kollegor efterfrågade ett mer organiserat samarbete dem emellan. Två former för ett ökat samarbete är, samarbete i team och i distansnätverk, vilka kan existera parallellt med varandra. I nätverket ingår alla personer som arbetar med distanskurser, allt ifrån lärare till tekniker.

My purpose in this work was to find out how staff in a middle sized school uses its local Equal treatment plan in its work against bullying. But also to see how the use of a standardized anti-bullying program works to prevent bullying. I have interviewed the principal, teachers, and what we in Sweden call a ?fritidspedagog? and the members of the anti-bullying team to get answers to my questions.  The conclusion of this study is that the school follow and work according to what the Equal treatment plan states, both in terms of prevention, as in working with actual bullying cases. The school has also followed the National School Agency's recommendations on what should be the local Equality plan, but also to follow up and revise it each year. The interview shows that the staff at the school placed great emphasis on talking and discussing with students about how to behave towards each other, they also brought up things that happened at one time and talked about this. The staffs were very committed to work towards the prevention of bullying and the same was true with the school's headmaster.
