Our Products

We deeply understand that a significant amount of the intellectual-physical labor that drives our research and innovation includes contributions from a broad community of thinkers and actors, including university departments, support staff, school district partners, academic societies, tech companies, users, and community-based organizations.

Since it “takes a village” to produce knowledge, we believe that several forms of intellectual property produced by the Institute should be owned by the collective commons. Our Institute has been founded with a commitment to releasing our algorithms, software, and curricular materials under open source licensing, specifically Creative Commons BY-NC 4.0 which enables reuse, remixing, and redistribution for non-commercial purposes only.

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.

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) and the 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: “Sensor Immersion”, an introduction to programmable sensor technologies and how computers perceive the world; “Self-Driving Cars”, a unit focused on building and thinking critically about autonomous vehicle technologies; and “Moderation”, 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 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.
