Plans are well under way for the next conference of the Distance Education of New Zealand (DEANZ) being held in Wellington in April 2012. This is always a very interesting event for all teachers, tutors, students and others involved in the field of open, flexible and distance education. 

Earlybird registrations are now open – as are invitations to apply for the DEANZ award. This award  is open to individuals or groups in New Zealand, or New Zealand citizens living overseas, who have completed a project that meets the criteria of the Award which is available on the DEANZ website. 

With such a lot happening in the area of distance education and online learning this should be a must-attend event for anyone working in this field.
