Background:

The project report was completed in 2019 by Aleeshea Reid, Emma McLaughlin and Manaini Cama.

The guides were developed in consultation with a tutor advisory group from a variety of teaching areas across both WelTec and Whitireia, including painting, engineering, hairdressing and business administration. These tutors gave feedback on the practicality of the teaching and learning ideas presented and how easily they could be implemented in their teaching context.

Co-funded by the Ako Aotearoa Regional Hub Project Fund (RHPF).
