Aviation eLearning partnerships in New Zealand

Saturday, March 14, 2009
Author: Catalin Mosoia, Bucharest, Romania

A pioneering collaboration is taking place in New Zealand, between The Catlins Area School, ATTTO (the Aviation, Tourism and Travel Training Organisation), and the 3D visualisation industry catalyst and consultancy Nextspace, resulting in the development of a unique eLearning programme in Aviation Studies for secondary level learners. Borne out of concern about the shortage of young people considering aviation as a career pathway, the development of the programme was an initiative of The Catlins Area School Deputy Principal Allan Jon, Head of Technology Jon Bird, and ATTTO Aviation Industry Training Advisor Dave Evans. Completing the partnership is the New Zealand airline Air Fiordland, on board to help maintain industry perspective and currency for teaching staff.
