This page of links is designed to introduce you to a few of the informative or interesting sites that we frequent.  ED’s original website in the 1990s had the longest list of links in tertiary education, but with Google and NZQA’s online database, we needed to find a new niche. The list will be expanded over time according to what we value and what we think people working in NZ tertiary education might find useful. (If you want generic lists, you can find NZ blogs at Kiwiblog, a list of all NZ non-university tertiary education organisations at NZQA, a list of universities at NZVCC, and a list of government websites at the MOE.)
