ACODE
The Australasian Council on Open, Distance and E-Learning (ACODE), 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:
- 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.
