Portal - e-Learning and Tertiary Education in New Zealand

The tertiary e-learning portal aims to facilitate the sharing of e-learning information in New Zealand. It will help people to access information about tertiary education providers and the e-learning courses that they offer, various tertiary education-related services, and digital learning objects. The portal aims to encourage collaborative activity between educators, government, communities and industry.

The portal combines the resources of a number of government and non-government agencies and organisations to provide facilitated access to information and services relevant to tertiary e-learning in New Zealand.
