Pathways Awarua

The problem

Education Technology Ltd. needed to create a program for New Zealand’s Tertiary Education Commission (TEC) that would improve the reading, writing and maths skills of New Zealand adults, for work and for life.

The solution

We partnered with Education Technology and the TEC to use Bracken to deliver an online learning solution that is intuitive and feature-rich. 

Learning modules are authored by subject-matter experts, allowing content to be easily maintained and updated without additional development costs. The modules are interactive and engaging for learners and increase in difficulty as you move along the pathways. 

Learners can choose modules that best meet their own learning needs, and educators can recommend specific modules. Bracken supports audio and video, offers immediate customised feedback, and tracks individual and group progress.
