Kia ora, welcome to the online Computers in New Zealand Schools: Learning, Teaching, Technology.

After 20 years as a hard copy journal, the editorial board, led by its founding editor Professor Kwok-Wing Lai made the decision to take CINZS into the online world. This decision means that we can now make the journal available free of charge, and also allows us to take advantage of the interactive features enabled by the Internet. You will notice some of these features (electronic copies of articles, search features, hyperlinks and discussions) in some of our issues. The content of this journal will continue to be a mix of best practice, research and policy articles, commentaries and software and book reviews, aimed at a practitioner audience.

Computers in New Zealand Schools: Learning, Teaching and Technology is an online journal published by the Centre for Distance Education and Learning Technologies, University of Otago College of Education.

Contact person for the journal is Managing Editor, Ann Trewern ann.trewern@otago.ac.nz.

If you have any technical difficulties (account creation, login etc.), please contact Fiona McDonald fi.mcdonald@otago.ac.nz.
