Understanding learning and knowledge-sharing
We understand the nature of learning – and the relationships and strategies that underpin effective knowledge-building and sharing in school, tertiary, research, business and industry environments.
Recognised for strategic thinking and international perspectives
We are recognised for our strategic thinking, our national and international perspectives and experience, our public good ethos, our innovation, and the quality of our team.
Award-winning resources and communicators
We are known for producing award-winning learning materials and resources and for our ability to communicate complex information to audiences from all walks of life.
World view and future focus
We have a world view of the future of learning and knowledge-sharing which is informed by our participation in a range of national and international initiatives. We know that a connected and technology-enriched world is challenging traditional thinking, and that new powerbases are emerging that will change and dominate the future.
Emerging technologies and media
CWA New Media has a research and development focus. We incorporate emerging technologies and media in our work, blending the traditional with the new to support new opportunities for engagement, collaboration and communication. We also participate in research initiatives and networks to remain updated on learning environments and issues.

Our work
CWA New Media was established over 10 years ago and our work reflects our range of experience.
CWA sponsored initiatives
We have a public good ethos which is demonstrated through initiatives such as our annual Making a Difference grants. Each year these recognise three young New Zealanders who have made a difference in the learning of their fellow students.
Other initiatives that we fund and implement include:
- Hot Shots – enabling young people to become effective storytellers through the medium of video
- Living Heritage – providing young people with the means to share their local stories with the world
- Digital Conversations – bringing the world into our classrooms and communities
- Primary school online community site – enabling quality interaction between schools and their community
- The Learning Centre Trust – established with the schools of New Zealand as our beneficiaries

... whenever a new web 2.0 service arrives, the first question we ask is "what just changed?". It's not a question born of fear but rather exhilaration because inevitably something wonderful just happened that will enhance someone's learning opportunities...."
Jill Wilson, Director, Emerging Technologies, CWA
... I see new media not as a stainless steel, hard-edged, gee-whiz bunch of technologies, but rather as the means to enable us all to do what we do best as people – to share, communicate and participate.
