A Learning Exchange

At the heart of all we do is a learning exchange. By contributing teachers or resourcing, schools are able to enrol learners into any programme in the exchange. Anyone can participate though. Whether school or individual. Everyone is a part of a reciprocal environment. NetNZ leads this environment, ensuring quality learning experiences through partnership with participating schools.

Teachers benefit from a diverse online community, connecting with colleagues across New Zealand while maintaining ties to their local communities.

Students benefit from interacting with peers from different regions, learning to engage constructively online while appreciating the value of local connections.

How does it work?

NetNZ programmes usually comprise 10-20 learners from between 5-12 schools from across New Zealand.

Each course has an online hub, using Google Spaces or Mattermost, which acts as the focal point for asynchronous learning and interaction. The hub centralises all learning, encompassing activities, resources, communication, discussion and collaboration. Each school has a learning support person (an eDean) who provides on-site support for learners and acts as a point of contact for the online teacher.

All programmes run a once a week synchronous or real time session of 60 minutes where all learners gather with their teacher(s) using Google Meet. Teachers increasingly use synchronous technology in more flexible ways, especially in providing one-to-one support or to gather a group of learners together for a specific reason.
