Home > About us > About Open Polytechnic > Changes to benefit Open Polytechnic learners
Open Polytechnic is continually evolving its services to meet the changing needs of our distance learners. We are taking the next step in this journey and we want to share our vision with you.
Right now, we’re undertaking a transformation programme driven by a vision of Open Polytechnic distance learning that is convenient, relevant, connected and smart.
Starting in 2018, we will begin introducing a number of changes to give learners a broader range of academic and mentoring support, increase industry involvement in courseware development, and reflect the latest advances in education technology.
We are also making changes to the way we organise ourselves as a Polytechnic so that we can deliver on our vision. There will be staffing changes for some courses, but teaching and learning will continue uninterrupted.
We’ll be taking a phased approach to introducing these changes, and are committed to ensuring you continue to enjoy quality learning as we implement our vision.
We’ll keep in touch and let you know as we introduce new services and support to help you on your learning journey. Until then, if you have any questions or feedback, please send it to: feedback@openpolytechnic.ac.nz
