We have seen a spectacular rise in the use of technology within education over the last decade. Technology continues to revolutionise the way we administer and present our programmes. Ambient Insight Research (cited in Nagel, 2009) identified that within the US, 12 million post secondary students took some or all of their courses online and predicted that by 2014 this number will jump to 22 million. This research predicted that in 2014, 5.14 million would study programmes that were face to face only. 3.5 million would study online and a massive 18.65 million would be involved in some form of **blended delivery**. We would suggest that this trend will also occur in New Zealand and believe **blended delivery** as an option that is well suited to Māori.

Anne Derryberry (2011) identifies another global e-Learning trend. She reported that social networking is the most often quoted usage of technology by students regardless of device. When she asked about mobile phones specifically 76.6% of respondents agreed that a mobile phone is useful for learning. New Zealand research has confirmed the use of mobile technology as beneficial to Māori students.
