About Ako Aotearoa

Ako Aotearoa was funded by the New Zealand Tertiary Education Commission from 2007 – 2025 to support New Zealand’s tertiary sector in building educational capability for learner success.

Ako Aotearoa worked alongside tertiary education organisations, Government departments, wider industry and workplaces to co-fund evidence-based change projects with a high potential to benefit learners.

To ensure continued access to the tools and resources created by Ako Aotearoa, Massey University has transferred them to this new repository.

This will help ensure key outputs from the Ako Aotearoa Knowledge Centre, including co-funded research and teaching resources, remain freely available to the tertiary sector and that the Ako Aotearoa legacy continues to support educators and learners.
