Meet Edufiction Author, Scientist & Educator
Casper Pieters
Casper Pieters - Designer of narrative learning environments for digital citizenship and AI literacy.
Casper Pieters is an educator and author who designs adventure-driven edufiction as a structured learning approach for digital citizenship, media literacy, and AI literacy. His work integrates narrative storytelling with curriculum-aligned educational resources to help young people develop critical thinking, ethical awareness, and agency in a digitally mediated world.
Through character-driven adventure narratives, readers encounter complex socio-technical challenges — such as online manipulation, misinformation, algorithmic influence, cyberbullying, and emerging AI systems — within immersive story environments. Each story is accompanied by comprehensive Education Guides, lesson plans, inquiry-based activities, and assessment tools aligned to international frameworks including ISTE, UNESCO media literacy principles, and national curriculum standards.
Pieters’ approach is grounded in narrative pedagogy and experiential learning, recognising that young learners construct understanding most effectively through emotionally engaging, context-rich scenarios. His edufiction ecosystem is designed for classroom teachers, school librarians, homeschooling educators, and parents seeking practical, story-based resources to foster digital literacy, ethical reasoning, and deep reading skills.
By combining rigorous educational design with engaging adventure storytelling, Pieters positions fiction not as supplementary reading, but as a core pedagogical tool for preparing young people to navigate the ethical, cognitive, and civic dimensions of the digital age.
His mission? To tell unforgettable stories that teach — and teach in ways young people will remember.
