Helping to monitor learning environments using IEM devices

We’re supporting the Ministry of Education to measure and assess the quality of learning environments in schools to enable ākonga and kaiako to thrive in environments that support their success and wellbeing.

This means we’re installing Internal Environment Monitoring (IEM) devices in certain teaching spaces. These devices measure acoustics, lighting, thermal comfort and indoor air quality, including CO2 levels, which are all contributors to better educational outcomes.

For more information on this programme, which is fully funded by the Ministry, please visit the Ministry’s website. If you have any questions, please contact your School Property Adviser – if you are unsure who this is, click here. We’ve also put together some useful FAQs.

We analyse data and conduct research surveys to better understand how schools are using digital technology. This not only helps us improve our service, but offers a fascinating snapshot into areas such as:

 

  • How students are spending their time online
  • What type of data is being consumed, and where
  • How confident school’s feel about online safety
  • What type of online threats are being blocked
  • What technological challenges schools are facing
