title: Te tātari i te kaupapa

authors: Ka'ai, Tānia M.

abstract: The primary objective of this thesis focuses on the linking of the National Qualifications Framework and standards-based assessment as an emancipatory mechanism for Māori in Kaupapa Māori schooling and the wider Māori community in New Zealand.

Argued from an eclectic theoretical approach incorporating Kaupapa Māori theory, it espouses a position which rejects structural inequalities that perpetuate the subordinate positioning of Māori people through the development of culturally responsive assessment theories and practices in written language for teachers and children in Kura Kaupapa Māori which purport a culturally responsive pedagogy.

The thesis also links curriculum, assessment and pedagogy using Kaupapa Māori theory which provides insights into Māori views of emancipation in education.

title: Māori, census 2018 and data sovereignty

authors: Kukutai, Tahu

abstract: This webinar explores the issues with the 2018 Census data collection and examines what the implications could be for communities and funding.  See below to read some relevant articles prior to the webinar.

Our presenters also discuss iwi data sovereignty and data bias and the reasons why we should all pay more attention to the quality of the data we provide, use and collect.

title: Investigation into building large scale wireless networks with ubiquitous access

authors: Yearbury, Scott

abstract: This thesis presents a design and implementation of a novel method of device authentication in Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.11 Wi-Fi networks and a method of access point configuration and management. The novel method of authentication provides a mix of properties from both Wi-Fi protected access (WPA) - Personal and WPA-Enterprise. It allows for per user authentication and allows for device ownership to be tracked like WPA-Enterprise while providing the ease of use of and ubiquitous support of WPA-Personal. It also allows for a network covering a wide area to use a single Service Set Identifier (SSID) and for seamless authentication and roaming between access points. This project also provides a highly scalable method of centralised access point configuration and management based upon the OpenSync access point management software and a custom OpenSync controller. The access point configuration and management and Wi-Fi authentication methods provided are designed so that it supports this project being extended to provide user based network segmentation such that each user appears to have their own virtual layer 2 network as they roam between access points.
