2025 Open Education Conference, OpenEd, Online, to Denver, Colorado, Seminar, Oct 30, 2025.

Federated social networks, such as Mastodon and Bluesky (and there are many more) add a venue for two essential components to AI-generated learning resources: conversation and creativity. This presentation will explore how the use of federated social networks will motivate learning in an age of automated content creation. Using as a model a personal learning environment developed by the author, it will explore what learning may look like, the role of on-demand OER, and the future role of educators.
