This document discusses adopting a "BROfessional" approach when working with Māori and Pasifika students in e-learning. It advocates blending relationships and being open to create connections between students, teachers, and communities. Various Māori concepts are used as analogies to explain the BROfessional approach, such as blending to mix and sort ideas, and establishing relationships through whanaungatanga and openness. The goal is to align this approach with Māori pedagogy by reflecting Māori perspectives rather than directly translating Western concepts.
