e-Learning in New Zealand

e-Learning communities coverThe e-Learning Fellowships of the Ministry of Education were awarded annually.

Due to a reprioritisation of resources and support for schools, the programme has not continued after the end of 2009. The 2009 e-fellows completed their fellowship and the research team (CORE Education with NZCER) submitted their completed research report in January 2010.

2007 e-Fellows included two Christchurch projects. Gavin Hewitt of Hagley Community College has a project Learning through immersive 3D games development and play that aims to explore the processes and procedures required to successfully enable students to create their own 3D immersive games that incorporate a sound educational philosophy with clearly defined educational objectives and content, which are not only compelling, but also engage the player in meaningful learning. Jonathan Parsons of Hillmorton High School’s project is Sharing urban Māori experiences in a 3D collaborative learner environment. It aims to explore shifts in attitude as well as the level of engagement and achievement when students are enabled to post their wharenui/school experiences of Māori kaupapa for others to interact with and reflect on their own situations.

The Library has books and electronic resources on Internet in education and computer-assisted instruction.
