Hello WISE Community!
We hope that all is well with you. The spring semester at UC Berkeley is in full swing and we have started some classroom research implementations with our partner schools.
Technology update for WISE researchers
The WISE technology team presents periodic updates to the wider community of WISE researchers and curriculum developers here at Berkeley. We wanted to provide a link to slides from our most recent update on February 13. Check it out for a quick overview of some of the additional features and improvements we’ve been working on!
We’re currently focusing on making it easier for teachers to find units in our Unit Library. Using unit tags that we announced last year, we hope to add more organization and filtering abilities. We’re also adding more activities like letting students sort out their ideas to make better use of the data we get back from the idea detection and KI scoring model. Teachers can also get more insights about the kinds of ideas that their students had while interacting with the Dialog Guidance activity.
Some of the features in the slides are still in development, but as we publish them on the WISE server in the coming months, we plan to write new posts to highlight the features and explain how you can use them in your classrooms.
Thanks for reading! If you have any questions or comments, please drop us a reply below. We always love hearing from the community!
