Design-Based Framework
MemeEdx is an open pedagogical technology (open ped-tech) platform where teachers and students create, share, and use educational memes together. Focused on meme pedagogy, it supports exchanging experiences, resources and best practices — helping participants become not just consumers of digital culture, but prosumers and co-creators.
A multi-format editor featuring ready-to-use templates and tagging capabilities (by subject, topic, and language) to help teachers produce context-specific content.
A searchable repository where memes are filtered by grade and subject, featuring peer ratings to ensure content validity and age-appropriateness.
A social space modeled after digital communities where teachers share experiences, post memes, and engage in professional dialogue.
A resource hub providing pedagogical guidance, including lesson ideas, ethical guidelines, and scholarly articles on meme-based instruction.
A reward system designed to recognize and motivate sustained teacher engagement and community contribution.
MemeEdx moves beyond viewing memes as mere "gimmicks," positioning them as legitimate tools for inclusive, multimodal learning. The platform aligns with:
Utilizing memes as "cultural tools" for collaborative knowledge construction.
Recognizing memes as hybrid texts that require specific design and interpretive skills.
Fostering transparent, collaborative practices that position learners as co-creators.
