Curriculum Facilitator - Digital

Ministry of Education

Conversation

The Le@rning Federation (TLF) is a collaborative initiative involving the governments of Australia and New Zealand (Ministry of Education).

The aim of this project is to develop a pool of quality digital content (learning objects and resource assets) for years 1 -13, and to deliver it electronically to all NZ and Australian schools.

Between 2001 and 2006, TLF produced over 3000 items of digital content in a range of priority curriculum areas such as numeracy, literacy (for students at risk), science, learning languages (Indonesian, Chinese & Japanese) and the arts. Several thousand additional items of content are currently in development.

The Ministry of Education are keen to make this content available to quality pre-service providers.

Participants will get the opportunity to find out more about how they can access TLF content, view a few examples of the types of content that’s available and of course ask lots of questions.
