ACEnet Online Community for ACE Practitioners

Project Overview

ACE Aotearoa has been facilitating a programme of work to support professional development for the ACE sector. The use of an online community to help ACE practitioners develop professionally, is a project which has been piloted as part of this programme of work.

As a sector, we want to understand how online tools can help us learn together. We also want to find out what works (and what doesn’t) for us in the sector.  We are excited about the potential of the online tools to allow us to connect when and where we choose.  Given how remote many of us are and how busy we all are, ACEnet could be a real benefit to ACE practitioners.

The community is now live and anyone with an interest in adult and community education is welcome to join. To join ACEnet, please click here to go to the ACEnet home page, hosted on the Ako Aotearoa website. From there you can find out how to register on the Ako Aotearoa website if you have not already done so, how to introduce yourself to the rest of the community, and how to participate in ACEnet. The ACEnet team is on call to help you if you have any problems or concerns.
