Evaluation research
The portfolio of evaluation research carried out by the CORE Education research team.
CORE Education was commissioned by the Ministry of Education to conduct an evaluative study of current effective practice in the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) to support the learning of languages other than English in English medium schools.
The K-Perak eLearning cluster aimed to improve teacher capability in the use of ICT within teaching and learning programmes in Malaysia. It was created in partnership with Malaysian education officials and members of the Innovation New Zealand Education (iNZE) consortium, of which CORE Education was a part.
The MyLearn pilot provision involved six tertiary institutions collaborating to create a networked online learning environment for students who were enrolled on the New Zealand Diploma in Business (NZDipBus). CORE Education evaluated this pilot.
Second Life Education in New Zealand (SLENZ), funded by the Tertiary Education Commission, determined how multi-user virtual environments (MUVEs), in this case Second Life, could benefit New Zealand tertiary education.
