ACODE, the Australasian Council on Open, Distance and E-Learning, is 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:

  1.  disseminating and sharing knowledge and expertise
  2. supporting professional development and providing networking opportunities
  3. investigating, developing and evaluating new approaches
  4. advising and influencing key bodies in higher education
  5. 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.
