Implementation of the Interim Tertiary (e)Learning Framework
The Ministry of Education and the National Library worked with other government agencies and representatives from the tertiary education sector to develop an Interim Tertiary (e)Learning Framework, for the period 2004-7.
The Framework, which sets a strategic direction, will help to co-ordinate effort and maximise benefits for all stakeholders involved in (e)learning in the tertiary sector. To ensure it achieves this, it was developed by working closely with other government agencies, (e)learning experts and sector representatives.

From 2005, the Framework will be implemented in active partnership with the tertiary education sector, international development partners, and other stakeholders.
Framework Implementation will:
1. Extend existing structures for obtaining Education ICT governance, expert advice, stakeholder representation, necessary alignments and the building of relationships across and within New Zealand, as well as with the international vanguard. This would be on an ongoing basis. This includes the establishment of the Tertiary (e)Learning Reference Group to provide expertise and representation.
2. Understand existing initiatives and resources, and their existing or possible relationship to the Framework. That is, do a ‘stock take’.
3. Articulate what needs to be done to implement the Framework, likely responsibilities within this, and timeframes. This is referred to as the Action Plan. The Action Plan will comprise objectives, success measures, proposed actions, responsibilities and timeframes.
4. Deliver on the Action Plan, addressing urgent priorities immediately with input from (1) above. This will set the Interim Tertiary (e)Learning Framework in motion.
The Interim Tertiary (e)Learning Framework is to be placed within the context of an integrated, pan-sector (e)learning strategy that will encompass the schools and early childhood sectors, as well as the tertiary sector.
