Our resources
Who creates the research reviews?
The research reviews are created by academic researchers or our staff at The Education Hub. All of the people working on the research reviews have substantial experience conducting educational research and many have also been practicing teachers. We are also considering creating some of our content in collaboration with other organisations.
How can I use your resources?
If you are a New Zealand teacher, you are welcome to use and share our resources with other teachers and within your school.
For all other uses, please see our Terms of use.
Why can't I access some of the resources?
We are constantly creating new content and the research guides that you cannot access are still under development.
How do you choose which topics or areas to focus on?
All our topics have been chosen through extensive consultation with our stakeholders, primarily school leaders and teachers but also researchers and others involved in education. If you would like to propose a topic or area, please do send us an email: enquiries@theeducationhub.org.nz
How do you select teachers/schools to focus on in your articles?
We are always on the look-out for teachers or schools who are applying research in practice and who are engaged in innovative approaches and activities. Often it is members of the educational community who recommend that we connect with particular teachers and schools. If you, or someone you know, are involved in innovative and evidence-informed practice, we would love to hear from you. Please email: enquiries@theeducationhub.org.nz.
Our courses
I have purchased a course. How can I access it?
You can access your course from your on our website. You will need to log in first.
If you have forgotten your password, simply select Forgot my password link, and follow the reset link that will be emailed to you. If you don't receive a reset link, please check your other email accounts as you may have registered with a different one.
If the user name or email address you have used is not recognised by our system, you may have registered under a different email address previously. Please log out of The Education Hub and then try to sign in with your alternative email address(es) instead.
If you still cannot log in or see the course on your Account, please contact us for support.
I have purchased a course on behalf of other teachers – how do I add them to my group?
You can add participants to your group via the Participants link that shows in the Registrations section of your Account. You will need to log in first.
You can enrol as many participants as you purchased – ie, if you purchased a group of 7, you can add 7 names/email addresses, or 6 if you are included in the group. If you wish to add more participants, you must complete another transaction. Please note that to qualify for the multiple enrolment discount for a course, participants must be enrolled at the same time, in one transaction. Higher discount levels cannot be applied retrospectively. If you wish to remove participants from the course, or make substitutions, The Education Hub team will be notified by the system and will need to approve your request.
If you have any other queries, please contact us for support.
I have purchased a group enrolment for a course – if I add more teachers can I get a bigger discount?
We regret that higher discount levels cannot be applied retrospectively. If you wish to add more participants, you must complete another transaction. To qualify for the multiple enrolment discount for a course, participants must be enrolled at the same time, in one transaction.
If you wish to remove participants from the course, or make substitutions, you can make a request and The Education Hub team will be notified by the system and approve appropriate requests.
All group admin is done via the Registrations part of your Account when you are logged in.
If you have any other queries, please contact us for support.
Will I get a certificate when I complete my course?
All the courses we offer provide a certificate on completion. It will be automatically added to your Account when you complete the course, and the link can be seen in the sidebar within the completed course.
How can I print my certificate?
You can view your certificate from the sidebar within the course when you have completed it. To print the certificate, choose File > Print from your browser menu and adjust your printer settings to suit. The certificates are set up to print best on landscape A4 paper. Sometimes it can help to boost the scale to 120%. If you cannot figure it out, or want a digital copy of your certificate, you can take a screenshot and print from that.
If you have any issues printing your certificate, please email support@theeducationhub.org.nz – supply your username and the course you have finished, and clearly outline the issues you are having.
I have finished the course, but the status bar says I haven't completed all the steps
Go into each part, and check you have marked it as complete at the bottom. The system does not allow you to jump ahead without looking at content, so this is normally just something you've overlooked and once every part is complete you will be able to view and print your certificate.
How long do I have to complete my course?
Short courses usually take 8-10 weeks, while longer courses might run across a whole year. Please read the information that accompanies your course, where we talk about expected study and completion time.
We recognise not everyone works at the same pace, so we offer lifetime* access to the course to ensure everyone has time to complete it. Any closing dates will be communicated to enrolled participants, and we will do our utmost to alert you prior to a course closing. No refunds can be offered if you fail to complete a course within the lifetime of the course.
* Lifetime of the course – you will be able to access the course for as long as The Education Hub continues to offer that course on our site.
I missed a webinar relating to my course – what should I do?
We record all our webinars, and post the recordings on the relevant course page for users who were not able to attend.
Other course queries/technical support
Please email us if you have not found the answer to your query in this section of FAQ. Please be as specific as possible about the problem you are experiencing.
Webinar subscriptions
What will a webinar subscription give me access to?
A webinar subscription will give you access to all live webinars scheduled within your 12-month subscription period, and the recordings of them, PLUS access to our entire archive of over 80 webinars for that period. We will continue to host some free webinars throughout the year, but the majority will only be available to those with a subscription.
Go to our webinar subscriptions page to make your purchase.
Why are you introducing a subscription model?
It has become increasingly challenging to rely on philanthropic funding to cover most of our costs. To protect the future viability of The Education Hub, it is necessary for us to charge users for some of our premium content.
How much is the subscription?
There are options for both an annual subscription to access all webinar content or a pay-per-webinar option, as well as the opportunity for discounted group subscriptions.
See our webinar subscriptions page for details.
I want to enrol a group. What is the discount and do I have to individually enrol each person?
Group discounts are by size: 15% for groups of 2-10 people, 20% for groups of 11-25 and 25% for groups of 26+ people. When you have bought the group subscription, you will be directed to a sign-up URL, and you simply invite all the participants to join the group by sharing that URL with them. There's a pre-populated email to help you do that. That way they can use their existing account on The Education Hub for their subscription, or create a new one if they don't have one. Please note, the group's subscription will start on the date of purchase, regardless of when each person joins the group, so it's important to share your sign-up URL at the outset.
When can I purchase a subscription?
Our online payment system is open now. Go to our Webinar subscriptions page.
People I'd like to buy a subscription for are already registered on The Education Hub. Can they join my group?
Yes! When you have bought a webinar subscription for other people, you'll get access to a sign-up URL, so you can invite them to join your group using their existing login on The Education Hub, or by creating a new account if they don't already have one. They will then have access to the content for the duration of your subscription. Please note, the group's subscription will start on the date of purchase, regardless of when each person joins the group, so it's important to share your sign-up URL at the outset.
If I buy a 12-month subscription for a teacher who then leaves, what happens?
In this situation, you can remove a teacher's access to the webinars, and apply that subscription to another teacher. Our team will be notified of changes.
I cannot afford a subscription. What can I do?
We have endeavoured to keep the cost of a subscription affordable and our pricing is significantly below market rate. If you do not have a subscription, you will still be able to access a substantial amount of content for free via The Education Hub platform, and we will host some free webinars throughout the year.
If you are a charity, why are you charging for some offerings?
Our intent is not to make money. We remain a charitable organisation committed to supporting the professional learning of early childhood and school teachers by providing high quality, reliable, and practical resources. However, we are no longer in a position where we can cover our operating costs through philanthropy alone. As a result, we now charge a small fee for our webinars.
Did you ask users if they are prepared to pay to access these resources?
Over 65% of our users said that they would be prepared to pay to access The Education Hub’s resources, and early childhood centres and schools that we have spoken with over the past few months have indicated that they are willing, and in most cases expect, to pay to watch our webinars.
