Our core programmes are:

• Towards Etopia – strategies for research and evaluation by researchers and practitioners who investigate products and service to ascertain how they can be used to improve teaching and learning. The findings can be used for policy building and marketing purposes. Marketing can include elements like entries in the Fellowship newsletter and/or the publication of an ejournal volume dedicated to a specific subject and/or publication on the MirandaNet Fellowship site and/or a conference programme.
• iCatalyst – accredited professional development programmes about digital technologies that engages the educational and commercial workforce in embedded systemic change. Company representatives who engage in the design, implementation and evaluation of action research in their own product or services can qualify for accreditation at certificate,  diploma, Masters or doctorate level.
• Braided Learning – expertise in helping to build online communities of practice and developing strategies for online teaching and learning as means of sharing, recording and creating new professional theory and practice.
• World Ecitizens – an international web publication and exchange service for schools that includes the Peace Room.
