CORE Education is a not for profit educational research, development and implementation organisation in New Zealand. CORE aims to provide educators with the quality professional learning opportunity in an online context. Centre4 acts as the portal to this e-learning world and you are welcome to explore it in the areas that interest you. While many communities are open to the wider public, some areas have restricted access for project participants. Their purposes are indicated below.

You will also find a wide range of online conferences and seminars which are both current and archived. We welcome you to participate with us in extending the effective use of learning communities across the wider educational community.

About Centre4

CORE Education's Centre4 online communities were established to enable a greater degree of connectivity between a number of New Zealand educational communities. Each online area is a Centre4 communication, interaction, collaboration, resources, and discourse around professional learning.

Centre4 is hosted by the Interact virtual learning environment. Interact is an open source learning community platform which is used by schools and learning communities in New Zealand and overseas.

Read on for more information on Centre4 opportunities, conditions of use, and the single login solution.
