Welcome to ACODE, the Australasian Council on Open, Distance and E-Learning, the peak Australasian organisation for universities engaged or interested in open, distance, flexible and e-learning.
ACODE's mission is to enhance policy and practice in open, distance, flexible and e-learning in Australasian higher education.
ACODE seeks to influence policy and practice at institutional, national and international levels through:
- disseminating and sharing knowledge and expertise
- supporting professional development and providing networking opportunities
- investigating, developing and evaluating new approaches
- advising and influencing key bodies in higher education
- promoting best practice.
ACODE meets three times a year for two days at meetings hosted by member institutions across Australasia. The two day meetings usually consist of a one day workshop on a topic of policy and/or practice for Directors/Managers of university teaching and learning units or units concerned with open, distance or e-learning. A business meeting is held on the second day and usually incorporates a site visit at the host institution.
ACODE currently has over 40 institutional members that include most Australian and New Zealand universities as well as the University of the South Pacific. In recent years ACODE has extended its working relationships with other organisations including CAUL, CAUDIT, Universities Australia, the New Zealand Ministry of Education, ALTC and the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations (DEEWR).
