Our Institute-wide team is responsible for overseeing all of iSAT's core research – using the data collected to help identify - and eventually implement - what will be useful components of the AI Partner. The three themes are: Classroom Data Collection and Coordinated Analysis, Technical Architecture, and AI Partner Design, Implementation and Testing.
Classroom Data Collection & Coordinated Analysis
This focuses on data collection from our partner school districts during the Sensor Immersion and Games units, and then annotates the collected data to help provide the AI Partner designs with means for analyzing student speech in a live classroom setting.
Technical Architecture
This theme focuses on developing the core infrastructure and components for the AI Partner, supporting integration of AI models and services into the AI Partner and supporting secure data storage access to data collections from the classroom and lab.
AI Partner Design, Implementation & Testing
Focused on the big picture and end goal of an AI Partner, research activities, including the Learning Futures Workshop and Design Sprint, have led to evolved metaphors for the AI Partner including the Co-Pilot, the Augmenter, and the Community Builder.
