About

The e-Learning Research Network is for teachers, educators and researchers to share and discuss the evidence about the impact of e-learning on New Zealand education. The goal of the network is to spread this knowledge across the sector to support quality teaching and learning.

The network provides links to and summaries of New Zealand and international research, with opportunities for discussion.

The network is also a home for the e-fellows (the Ministry of Education's e-Learning Teacher Fellowship programme) and the research team supporting them.

We thank everyone who makes a contribution to this network!

How to join the network and contribute

This website is visible to members and non-members of the network. To contribute, you need to join the network and also the groups that you're interested in. You'll get an email alert when new content is posted to the groups that you've joined.

If you've found new research that you'd like to contribute to the network, start a discussion about it in the relevant group.

It's helpful if you are able to make a short summary of the research. Add tags to make your summary easy for members to find when they use the search - include year of publication, author/organisation and other relevant keywords (put any tags with multiple words in quotes).

Comments will be monitored, and inappropriate and off-topic contributions may be removed. The network is not for discussion about government policy. The network is not for members to pursue their commercial interests, and any member doing so may be removed from the network.
