In March 2009 Jenny and Mike visited Wellington, New Zealand. They both presented at a digital learning conference organised by the Ministry of Education.

Jenny spoke about how e-learning had impacted on literacy and numeracy teaching for adults.

This was followed up with two seminars with leading government officials and practitioners. Mike attended the international standards meetings for SC36.
