New Zealand has begun to evaluate school design in order to encourage e-learning practice but this is not consistent. Many schools were established over more than 60 years ago so are not equipped to accommodate the learning activities and styles that e-learning encompasses. The traditional classroom was designed when the concept of the public school was created and we have seen little change since then. It is unrealistic to continue with a school layout that is modelled on a factory production line (Broodryk, 2008).

In this wiki we are going to research how e-learning learning spaces have been implemented in New Zealand. We will be looking at Southland Girls High School as a school that has been redesigned and Albany Senior High School and Remarkables Primary as newly developed schools.

We will also looking at how New Zealand's e-learning environments compare to other countries. This will allow us to evaluate New Zealand's place in the e-learning world and will also allow us to make recommendations so our our e-learning spaces are comparable with the rest of the developed world.
