Teaching Our teaching is carried out by three specialist Schools and a Workplace Learning and Development Group integrated within a single Faculty. This structure encourages interaction between disciplines while maintaining a coherent approach to our overall teaching programme. Our 150 full-time academic staff are highly qualified and bring a wide range of industry experience to their roles. Teaching is based on learning resources designed by expert teams for the distance student. Course materials and assessments are sent to the student's home or workplace.
Students determine their own study schedule according to the demands of their work or personal life.
Within New Zealand an 0508 freephone service provides instant access to lecturers for study support. Email is increasingly used, as are Internet discussion groups.
