21st Century Learning Challenge

KAREN >> NEN Evaluation Project

The Ministry of Education and REANNZ have undertaken a small-scale evaluation project to demonstrate the pedagogical benefits of being linked to the advanced network (KAREN), delivering the National Education Network (NEN).

The following outcomes have been identified from this evaluation project:

  • A new proof of concept (PoC) school, after being connected, is able to articulate the benefits of being connected.
  • A new PoC school can point to one or more specific activities that have been made possible by being connected.

It is expected this evaluation material will encourage and promote a deeper understanding of the role that ICT and advanced network technologies can play in the provision of 21st Century teaching and learning programmes as provided for within the NZ curriculum.
