Abstract

Recent debate has suggested that the under-achievement of Maori (and indeed other indigenous or minority groups) is the result of social exclusion based on their socio-economic circumstances. This argument is supported by the over-representation of Maori in most negative socio-economic statistics in Aotearoa/New Zealand. Emancipatory learning is an educational philosophy directed at ending exclusion through learning models created by the community for the community, where learning is developed in a way that enables the learner to understand their own position and, therefore, create the potential for change. The Internet offers a tool that is not only relatively ubiquitous but also economical in terms of media development. The Internet, therefore, presents a potentially suitable platform to develop emancipatory learning solutions and communities of like that can be localised and offer the potential for interaction with similar groups elsewhere.
