ChatLAANZ

Welcome to ChatLAANZ

ChatLAANZ is a professional development and community building opportunity based on a model demonstrated by Australia and New Zealand Student Services Association Inc (ANZSSA). They are Zoom meetings of about 40 minutes each scheduled at breakfast or lunchtime that provide examples of what colleagues at various institutions are doing in certain areas of interest and the opportunity to talk about the ideas.

Breakfast sessions at 8:30 am – 9:10 am
Lunchtime sessions 12:00 noon – 12:40 pm

When possible, the slides and recordings of the sessions will be available at the bottom of the page.

Our first presentation will be at 8.30 am on Friday 06 May. See details below

Ruth Thomas will be speaking about Toi Ohomai: Building a Learning Support Network Post-Merge.

This session briefly outlines the merging of Bay of Plenty Polytechnic and Waiariki Institute of Technology learning support services and resources. These were combined to serve students of the new organisation, Toi Ohomai. Ruth will then share her research on students’ experiences and perceptions of the reviewed services and resources. The research looks towards how learning support could be offered across the network of Te Pūkenga to support workplace, campus-based and online learners.
