This report was commissioned by the Ministry and undertaken by Massey University in collaboration with the Nelson Marlborough Institute of Technology, The Open Polytechnic of New Zealand and Otago Polytechnic.

The report provides a framework of the diverse e-Learner profiles found throughout the tertiary sector, taking into account:

• Demographics.
• Learning orientations (learning styles).
• Readiness for e-Learning, and;
• Experience of and attitudes to e-Learning.

It identified structural trends in the tertiary student body in recent years and changes in the students themselves in terms of attitudes, approaches to study, needs and aspirations.
