The product is interconnected set of learning objects with open licence that can be used by teachers and/or students. The aim af the project was to explore how cooperative design of open learning objects (OER) is different from individual design using material with copyright barriers and how the design process can be improved.

This project used tale of a journey between cultures in 1627 as a main focus and metaphor. The journey is an Icelandic book from 1627, a travellog, The Travels of Ólafur Egilsson who was captured on the Westman Islands in Iceland in a raid by Barbary corsairs in 1627 and returned to Iceland in 1628. He wrote a story of his capture in Iceland and his time as a slave in North Africa and his travel to Denmark to raise ranson money for the captives. His story describes both Christian and Islamic civilization in the seventeenth century and the conditions of slaves.
