iSAT advances the field of artificial intelligence in education (AIED) in general and the science of student-AI teaming in particular. We accomplish聽this through the design, development, and rigorous testing of cutting edge AI technologies and AI-enabled curriculum units. Our team also creates the technical architecture and tools necessary to support the integration of AI into real-world classrooms. Lastly, we create a range of research products including high-fidelity datasets, coding frameworks for data annotation, and code for the computational models that drive our AI Partners.聽
In the spirit of transparency and knowledge sharing, iSAT is committed to helping build capacity for developers, educators, and researchers who are creating our AI-infused future. We will show our commitment by making (some of) our research products available to the teaching and research communities at large. This will include releasing (lite) versions of our AI Partners that educators can integrate seamlessly into their own pedagogies or, alternatively, by downloading teacher guides for adopting (one or more of) our AI-enabled curriculum units.
As an institute, we are also committed to making available (some of) our supporting tools and research products so that developers and researchers can build on the knowledge we accumulate.
This is an ongoing process and this page will be updated with more information and relevant links as they become available. In the meantime, please contact our team at Info.AI-Institute@Colorado.edu directly to learn more about our products and to inquire when certain items will become available.
The 'Community Builder' ('CoBi') AI Partner is a Web application that uses the latest advances in speech recognition and language understanding to create expansive visualizations from expressions of uplifting discourse that can occur during small group student talk.聽Students and teachers can use the visualizations to reflect about their collaborations and how to improve them.
AI Partners & Tools
We build intelligent systems that help teachers in orchestrating rich, collaborative experiences in their classrooms. Our current AI Partners include the Community Builder (CoBi) 补苍诲听迟丑别 Jigsaw Interactive Agent (JIA). Supporting tools consist of the iSAT Recorder for collecting audiovisual data and the MakeCode Logger to study usage behaviors.
Curriculum Units
Collaboration is an essential skill for the workplace and a powerful way to learn; however, it is a difficult skill to learn and master. Our proven instructional materials address authentic problems relevant to students and their communities, while supporting deep student learning, with AI, and about AI. Currently available curriculum units include: 鈥淪ensor Immersion鈥�, an introduction to programmable sensor technologies and how computers perceive the world; 鈥淪elf-Driving Cars鈥�, a unit focused on building and thinking critically about autonomous vehicle technologies; and 鈥淕补尘别蝉鈥�, a unit focused on learning how AI and humans can collaborate to create more inclusive gaming communities online.
Research Products
Our AI technologies are only as good as the Datasets, the Annotation Schemes, and the Code that our interdisciplinary community of researchers and engineers develop. Over time, we will make available the research products and resources that enable us to advance our understanding of collaborative interactions among student learners.
