What’s the logical engine driving the Socratic Method? It’s reductio ad absurdum. Socrates didn't just ask questions; he trapped people in their own logical contradictions. 🏛️💡

Important: Unesco Replaces OER Acronym Today brings an important announcement from Unesco pertaining to open education. Those educational resources that have been referred to for the past nine years as “Open Educational Resources” are to be renamed. There are two reasons for the end of the use of the OER acronym. One is that there is continuing debate between those who believe these resources should be called “open” and those prefer to term “free” to describe them. Also, simply referring to them as “educational” resources has been shown to exclude many other areas where they have become increasingly important, such as research and training. As a result, officially they are no more to be referred to as “Open Educational Resources”, or OERs. From 1st April on, they are to be known as “Freely/Openly Enabled Resources Supporting Training, Education, and Research”. Unesco officials explained that while they realize that many people have become accustomed to the now deprecated “OER” terminology, it is important that these vital, renewable intellectual resources be renamed to something that highlights all of the areas where they are transforming education around the world. As such, it is expected that before long, those in the movement will become familiar with and happy to use the new term “FOERSTER” to describe these crucial resources. Please make a note of it!

#WordWeavers Apr. 1: Your opinion on April Fools Day and do you incorporate the day into your work?

Usually not. But one year I couldn't resist, and posted this link in a variety of #OER related communities:

A promo image consisting of the following elements: There's a photo showing a close-up of two hands, one resting on a transparent plastic table, the other on an assitive controller, the Byowave Proteus. On the table, there is also a Smpartphone and three colourful buttons. In the upper right corner of the image is the logo of our project inclusive game lab, at the bottom are the logos of the University of Applied Sciences Cologne, the Department for Youth Media Culture, and the Ministry, depicted on a white background.

I'm incredibly happy to announce that something me and my (former) team worked on for the past two years is now available: An archive of Open Educational Resources focusing on games and #accessibility!

A dark gray square graphic titled at the top: "News Digest RDM in Natural Science" on one line, and beneath it in green: "Week 13, 2026". Below the title are three stylized icon-and-label groups arranged in two rows: left—an orange "Teaching" icon showing a teacher at a blackboard with three seated students and a stack of bricks at the left; right—a light blue "Gamification" icon showing a game controller and stacked horizontal lines suggesting text; below left—a green "Data Standards" icon showing two stacked file icons linked by a gear to a row of bricks or blocks. To the lower right of these icons is small white text reading "and more ...". At the bottom center is a logo: a simple orange elephant head icon followed by the name "The FAIR Elephant" in orange, and beneath that in white smaller text: "Your data deserves it!" In the bottom-right corner, very small, is the credit "created with Canva". The overall style is flat, minimalist, with each icon and its label using matching colors.
