Over
the past year Northland Polytechnic has benefited from three eCDF
projects to develop flexible learning at the institution. A robust
network for distributed learning across the region is now emerging,
underpinned by innovative approaches to learning and teaching
development and support. The session reports on the cumulative effect
of the eCDF projects (ITPNZ e-Capability, OSCINZ, and FLLinNZ) and how
lessons learnt are informing the next phase of development.
The
presentation will combine elements of project planning processes,
evaluation data, observations and anecdotes, and examples of project
outcomes into a 'rich description' of a complex set of interactions in
an institution that faced several difficulties. It will show how
Northland is 'rising to the challenge' of creating effective systems
and processes for engaging staff and students in flexible and
e-learning, an approach which is essential for the continued viability
of the institution and its role in regional development in Northland.
