The themes of this conference reflect the main issues and concerns arising from the rapid adoption of eLearning in New Zealand.

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.
