This document provides an overview of an e-learning planning framework for blended e-learning in Māori medium schools. It discusses the aims of illustrating what blended e-learning looks like, demonstrating the e-learning planning framework, and exploring the strengths and opportunities of their work. It explains that the framework is a self-review, planning, and evaluation tool to build e-learning capability among students, teachers, leaders, and communities by providing flexible access to learning anywhere and anytime. The blended e-learning project involves a consortium of companies working with schools and MOE offices to develop e-learning capabilities with a focus on raising achievement for priority groups.

All students have the opportunity to acquire knowledge of te reo Māori me ōna tikanga. Cultural diversity The curriculum reflects New Zealand’s cultural diversity and values the histories and traditions of all its people. Inclusion The curriculum is non-sexist, non-racist, and non-discriminatory; it ensures that students’ identities, languages, abilities, and talents are recognised and affirmed and that their learning needs are addressed. Learning to learn The curriculum encourages all students to reflect on their own learning processes and to learn how to learn. Community engagement The curriculum has meaning for students, connects with their wider lives, and engages the support of their families, whānau, and communities. Coherence The curriculum offers all students a broad education that makes links within and across learning areas, provides for coherent transitions, and opens up pathways to further learning. Future focus The curriculum encourages students to look to the future by exploring such significant future-focused issues as sustainability, citizenship, enterprise, and globalisation.

Kathe: Slides 9-10 = 5 mins Introduce the eLPF - a roadmap to gauge the current ‘state’ of your learning environment (class, school, group) The dimensions Reflect on some of the context: Taking 1 of the videos - and at a quick glance - choose the dimension you feel the video was best suited What may not be initially obvious, is the depth and scope that sits behind this frame Equally, what you will eventually recognise, is that this is not a stand alone area (e-Learning) and in actual fact, weaves across all curriculum areas OR…….. Discuss how the dimensions were reflected in each of the examples???
- #13: 10. Kathe If on the previous slide you decided which dimension your video clip was best suited…. On this slide, at which stage would your example/video be at, or working towards The eLPF in it’s entirety, allowed schools to see a clear way forward in regard to developing further, their e-Capability
