Reclaiming Pedagogy in a Platformed World – A Manifesto
Have educational platforms begun to shape teaching more than pedagogy itself?
In my latest post, I explore how Learning Management Systems and platformed environments quietly configure what is possible in teaching and learning. Rather than rejecting technology, I argue for reclaiming pedagogical space within it – prioritising care, agency, and purpose over system logic.
Read the full manifesto:

A surreal, retro-futuristic landscape showing a lone figure facing a glowing portal amidst digital ruins, symbolising resistance, reflection, and reimagining in a platform-dominated world.
Normaliter had ik dat al gedaan, maar ik zit met rottige persoonlijke omstandigheden waarvoor ik al mijn energie en tijd nodig heb, en het schrijven van bovenstaande post eigenlijk al veel te veel was.
Dus nee, sorry.
Misschien ga ik achteraf nog, als dat niet te laat is, maar geen idee hoe lang dit nog duurt.
Als je zelf zou willen gaan zou dat super tof zijn!
@TROM I noticed that social.trom.tf/profile/alastor gives Error code: 500 Internal Server Error.
Same for profile/alastor/conversations. Others like /photos or /media work fine
Not a big deal though :)
1st Trom Social Post.
Hey,
I'm actually on the Trom Peertube and wanted to join the Friendica too! I'm Alesha. I'm happy to be here. I landed here to start over. I cut off my past, and 99% of them are on Facebook and Instagram. And Facebook locked me out for 8 months, so it was a sign to look for alternatives lol. Landed here to start over on social media, friendships, everything. Cheers!
Hmmm.... I had this long text written, and I switched screens to copy an Alt text to add. I switched back... And the whole post was gone! Apparently, you can't "just" leave the screen of a compose message open in Raccoon....
Unfortunately, I don't really have the spoons to type it all again now. 😔 Which is quite a bummer...
If I will feel better later today, or maybe the upcoming night, I will try to re-write it and see what I can make of it then.
I'll just add the image I tried to add, with the alt text that I was having made. Ugh, why did the app not save it as a draft? 😔
