Reports & Insights
Explore the research we’ve done at N4L to better understand how schools use digital technology. We gather these insights through surveys, such as our Aka Kōrero | Touchpoint survey, and by looking at how schools use our Managed Network, which you can see in our Te Pūrongo Whakakitenga | Data & Insights report.
Aka Kōrero | Touchpoint Survey
Our Touchpoint survey is sent out every year to schools and kura in Aotearoa. It’s sent to both principals and IT leaders, and helps us to understand how schools are using technology and what challenges they are facing in the current climate.
Insights from the survey are shared in our annual Aka Kōrero | Touchpoint Snapshot. Each year we use these learnings to help shape and enhance how we best support schools to ensure we’re better meeting their needs.
