Software
The software we are creating at LILT is exploring new ways to promote and enhance learning through collaboration.
Alvis is a new breed of algorithm visualization technology that supports the rapid construction and interactive presentation of "low fidelity" algorithm visualizations, engaging students and instructors in meaningful conversations about algorithms.
Belvedere is software for constructing and reflecting on diagrams of one's ideas, such as evidence maps and concept maps. Belvedere is designed to help support problem-based collaborative learning scenarios in which middle-school and high-school students learn critical inquiry skills.
COLER provides a web-based environment in which students collaborate while constructing solutions to entity-relationship modeling problems. COLER explores a new approach to coaching collaboration based primarily on tracking students' participation and recognizing differences between students' individual and group solutions.
disCourse supports project-based online courses in which students can post and discuss documents created by themselves or others. It is an offspring of Kukakuka (below).
Kukakuka is a web-based environment for discussion of web pages. Discussion groups and threads are associated with web pages. Each thread's page is always visible when reading and posting messages within the thread. Kukakuka is being designed with the objectives of being easy to use and running within any web browser.
Pink is a web-based environment for anchored threaded discussion of various types of documents, both online and offline. In addition to being organized in topic threads, notes also reference portions of the document being discussed to enable easy reference and retrieval.
