The unit has four areas of focus, student learning support, online learning, formal evaluation of teaching, and professional development of staff. We are seeking to appoint a Teaching and Learning Specialist who is a passionate and innovative professional developer whose main focus will be the professional development of Academic Staff, with approximately twenty percent of their time spent facilitating professional development for General Staff. Applications will be accepted from those with either an academic or more general teaching and learning background who are both highly qualified and experienced. Typically this would include a degree or postgraduate qualification in education and a postgraduate research degree, together with a research publication record and an excellent record as a tertiary teacher, or an extensive background in teaching and learning in a corporate or business environment.

Enabling Learners focuses on the flexibility and responsiveness elearning can bring to student learning. Digital resources, websites, classrooms and online learning each play their role in enhancing the flexibility of time, place and pace designed to help New Zealand’s knowledge economy to grow. Enabling Infrastructure is a multi faceted approach to e learning. The Government’s Tertiary E Learning Framework is presented at the highest level. It includes those features that help our institutions act in a co-ordinated way to foster co-operation and to minimise unnecessary duplication while at the same time allowing for the individual characteristics of institutions serving particular communities to flourish. Enabling Teaching is very much concerned with the identification, development and implementation of teaching strategies using e learning that concentrate on achieving student learning outcomes in ways that are both efficient and effective. Enabling Change brings to the forefront those matters that affect staff and institutions in the process of undertaking changes that the advent of e learning brings. Staff development, IT issues and human resource concerns all need consideration and resolution in advance of the success long-term sustainability of the e learning revolution. DEANZ trusts that you will find these themes sufficiently encompassing to cater for your interests and we look forward to your participation in this important event. 5http://www.furl.net/item/5529207/forward
