TLRI

Literacy Learning in e-learning contexts is a research project funded through a Teaching and Learning Research Initiative (TLRI) grant.

Researchers and teachers (ECE, primary and secondary) have worked collaboratively to re-examine data from archived action research inquiries focussed on e-learning (undertaken as part of e-fellowships and the ECE ICT Professional Learning Programme) to highlight how literacy learning can take place in e-learning contexts.

The aims of the project are to:

  • Help fill the gaps in the current New Zealand research literature on e-learning as contexts for literacy learning

  • Collectively theorise the literacy e-learning connections and pedagogical processes that are operating in NZ schools and early childhood centres by supporting teacher researchers to 're(tell) their stories' with a common focus that they did not necessarily have when the studies were conducted.
