Research
CORE Education is a research and development (R&D) centre focused on new technologies in education and training contexts. We act as the educational technology R&D arm of organisations that do not have research and development capacity.
CORE is involved in the following types of research:
- Large and small scale educational programme evaluations. (e-learning assessment, curriculum)
- Large and small scale pilots of e-learning and distance education programmes, online professional development, online training, and online communities of practice.
- Research consultancy on new educational technologies.
- R&D trials of newly-developed technologies in various educational and training contexts.
- Academic research supervision and assessment services.
- Publication and dissemination of research related to new educational technologies.
- Prototype development and trials of interactive training modules and teaching/learning resources.
CORE researchers have expertise in a variety of social research methods, with a particular emphasis on action research and other forms of participant research.
CORE has formal research associations with the University of Canterbury (NZ), NZCER (NZ), and CORE EDUCATION, UK).
