  • Toiere: Toiere is a course on best practice in online course design, and how to create a course that is accessible and engaging, and which actively supports and enables student success. First developed in 2020 for Blackboard this is Toiere 2.0, updated for Nuku. Enrol in Toiere
  • Threshold Standards for the Online Student Experience:​ This is the set of principles that underpins Toiere as it stands now on Nuku. The Threshold Standards were developed in 2022 to sustain and extend the positive changes to how we do online course design that came out of our experience during the COVID-19 pandemic, and which we hope will continue to evolve as we grow into Nuku. These can help when thinking about developing existing courses or creating new ones. View the Threshold Standards or enrol.
