We don't need heroes. We don't need gurus. We need signposts.
We're launching a slow, asynchronous community to document the people and practices that help us navigate uncertain times. No experts, just honest markers pointing the way.

Thanks to @cogdog for sharing this excellent article from earlier this year, further cementing my belief that Tel Amiel's work on platformization should be required reading for those in the #EdTech space! This article co-authored by Almeida, Damiati, & Amiel and available in Portuguese, Spanish, English, Italian, French, and German: https://doi.org/10.5007/2175-795X.2025.e105685

New video: Unscripted walkthrough on issuing a digital badge in #badgefed.
No installation, just the real issuance flow, including a few bumps along the way.
Sometimes seeing the messy parts helps more than a perfect demo.
Created inspired in feedback from my friend @firesidefedi
Check it out here (and subscribe to my channel for more badgefed videos)

My new project Graphpedia aims to be the #1 platform for online knowledge graphs. Specifically static visual knowledge graphs based on Wikidata.
It aims to be yet another internet rabbit-hole to explore and deep-dive into. ☕As well as a source for learning, teaching, and citation.
What features would you like to see?

Gemini 3 has added a 'dynamic view' option that creates an interactive simulation/game/site on the fly https://www.androidauthority.com/gemini-dynamic-view-3619662/ Similar to Canvas mode, except it doesn't show you the code. But that means you can't export/save it to an HTML/JS file (for #OER, for example). So add a prompt like "add a button on the bottom right to download a standalone HTML file that can run the same simulation".

Neuromatch had a great time at #JupyterCon 🤓 🎉
Our courses run on the Project Jupyter platform, making hands-on, collaborative learning possible for thousands of global #ComputationalScience students.

I discovered #Moodle in the spring on 2003. I thought it was a very exciting project and would like to get involved.
I woke up this morning at 5 AM, and my first thought was about Moodle. I then listened the audio from a presentation at #MoodleMootGlobal25. I am about to do some programming relating to Moodle. In my day job my work is to do with Moodle.
I feel very fortunate.

@X_net Something that may be under-utilized in #TechProcurement is that you don’t have to always just do the cheapest. You can have other criteria (gender equity, privacy, etc.)
Writing the tenders FOR the policymakers may be a way to make it easier for them. We can’t let #BigTech (or more accurately #BigAdvertizing) write the rules of the game.

@X_net I got to ask Simona about how most “ #EdTech software” is not actually just software, but it’s SaaS. It’s a subscription with customer support. #OSS, even if we have great #UX (which is still a work in progress), software alone isn’t a full substitute.
Simona talks about how that is a place where we DO need the government to step up. The software can be free and open, it can be maintained by all of us, but the government funds should go toward providing these services.
