E-Learning
Providing education through electronic media like the internet has big potential and the opportunities for Maori are huge. The Government established the E-Learning Advisory Group which released its report `Highways and Pathways: Exploring New Zealand's E-learning Opportunities' in March. The Advisory Group's role was to advise Te Tahuhu on ways to achieve a strategic direction for e-learning in New Zealand's tertiary education sector. The group consisted of 10 sector representatives, with a wide range of skills and experience in e-learning initiatives. The members of the group were Ruakere Hond, Te Taka Keegan, Shona Butterfield, Tom Prebble, Terry Barnett, Trish Brimblecombe, Nola Campbell, Martin Edie, Andrew Higgins, and John Hinchcliff.
The Treaty of Waitangi will underpin e-learning developments in New Zealand. The E-Learning Advisory Group highlighted the need to develop Internet resources and other digital material that reflects both Maori culture and values and supports Maori aspirations into the 21st century. The government is now considering the advice of the E-Learning Advisory Group.
