This document provides an overview of an e-learning planning framework for blended e-learning in Māori medium schools. It discusses the aims of illustrating what blended e-learning looks like, demonstrating the e-learning planning framework, and exploring the strengths and opportunities of their work. It explains that the framework is a self-review, planning, and evaluation tool to build e-learning capability among students, teachers, leaders, and communities by providing flexible access to learning anywhere and anytime. The blended e-learning project involves a consortium of companies working with schools and MOE offices to develop e-learning capabilities with a focus on raising achievement for priority groups.
