We're offering it in Auckland, Hamilton, Palmerston North, Wellington and Christchurch during Term 1. Register early to secure your place!
NEW: School libraries supporting learning: primary and secondary online courses
Now available as a new online course. We've created separate primary and secondary versions, designed for new members of your school library team - including library staff and teachers with library responsibility. Each runs for 5 weeks, with Part 1 in Term 2, and Part 2 in Term 3.
We've been aware that in some parts of the country new school library staff haven't had access in the past to the face-to-face course, with insufficient numbers for local delivery. Now you don't have to miss out on this valuable training. You can register for the online course and join with others from all over New Zealand, with support throughout from an e-facilitator.

Curating content for digital learners: helping students manage information overload
If you're focusing on improving the digital literacy of your students by improving the quality of the online resources they select for their research topics, your curated content will give them a reliable starting point. Updated for 2015, this 5-week online course is designed to support teachers and school librarians, with our target audience being intermediate and secondary schools. By the end of the course you'll have chosen an online curation tool and started to populate it with content.
The course and learning has really helped me learn a variety of skills for the successful curation of digital resources. It's more than just slapping a few websites together! It was a good balance of theory and practice. - 2014 secondary participant.
