Today I presented 2 posters on new strands of work using Maton's LCT @lctcentre.bsky.social at #UKICER2025. The first was on the problem of ensuring students understand the 'rules of the game' in learning to program are (code quality matters) using the epistemic plane.

After reading an intro like this it's also worth reading the original paper by Karl Maton that introduces Semantic Waves
legitimationcodetheory.com/wordpress/wp...
which is where I first found out about it and realised how well it helped me teach computing especially unplugged and using metaphors.
