Associate Sponsor

The Tertiary Education Commission (TEC) is responsible for funding all post-compulsory education and training offered by universities, polytechnics, colleges of education, wānanga, private training establishments, foundation education agencies, industry training organisations and adult and community education providers in New Zealand.

The TEC takes an active role in facilitating collaboration and cooperation in the tertiary education system, and greater system connectedness to wider New Zealand businesses, communities, iwi and enterprises. 

Within the context of this e-Fest: Moving Learning, TEC has been helping educators define best practice and build e-Learning capacity through the e-learning Collaborative Development Fund (eCDF).

This fund was established in 2003. It was set up to improve the tertiary education sector's ability to deliver e-Learning that makes quality education more readily available, as well as to help foster greater cooperation on e-learning initiatives amongst tertiary education organisations.

The fund has made $28 million available over the four years to 30 June 2007. 

Some success stories from previous eCDF rounds are included in workshops at this conference.
