Ministry of Education e-Learning Fellowship
The e-Learning Fellowships initiative was launched in 2003 by the Ministry of Education. Annually, up to ten teachers in early childhood, primary and secondary sectors are released from the classroom to conduct a one-year e-learning research project. CORE Education provides e-fellows with academic support and mentoring including professional learning workshops for two weeks each term and participation in an online learning community.
The fellowship recognises those teachers who are already leaders in utilising e-learning in their schools and enables them to have professional development in this area to further their understanding and share their knowledge.
e-Learning fellows have presented and disseminated their research findings at conferences such as LearningatSchool (Rotorua), Navcon (Christchurch and Bendigo, Australia), ULearn (Auckland and Christchurch), TUANZ tours and Microsoft Innovative Educators (Singapore and Korea) since 2004.
These 2008 e-fellows began their research projects in February with a full week workshop at CORE Education Ltd. To learn more about their research click here.
