11 projects

CocoStudio

In development

Teaching & Design · CocoRobo product practice

Turn teaching ideas and source materials into classroom resources that can be reviewed and revised.

Open workspace

Teachers need materials they can adapt to their learners, with a clear path from source content to classroom use.

  • Organize source materials into knowledge structures and teaching storyboards.
  • Develop diagrams, page previews and editable presentations through review and revision.
  • Explore resource creation across subjects and formats, starting with a focused teaching workflow.
Current scope: Current validation focuses on primary science resources. Broader subject and format coverage is still being developed.

CocoCourse

In development

Teaching & Design · CocoRobo product practice

Bring existing slide decks into browser-based courses, with presentation tools and classroom interaction.

Visit project
Learn more

A slide deck holds a teacher’s lesson design, but often provides few ways to connect that design with student participation.

  • Convert existing presentations into course pages that work in a browser.
  • Connect teacher controls, classroom projection and student participation.
  • Manage course versions and explore the creation of questions, polls and interactive activities.
Current scope: Conversion has been tested with real presentations. Generated activities and classroom use across devices are still being refined.

Learning & Research · Collaborative learning and research

Make group ideas, disagreements and evidence visible, from conversation to a shared canvas.

Group discussions are often fleeting. Preserving how ideas develop requires more than a final summary.

  • Organize text and speech transcripts into ideas and relationships linked to their sources.
  • Let participants edit, accept or question AI suggestions on a shared canvas.
  • Develop CocoTalk as a product and OpenCSCL as a planned open-source direction based on the same implementation.
Current scope: Still experimental. OpenCSCL has not yet been released as an independent open-source project.

SCOPE

Research prototype

Learning & Research · Science education research

Help teachers examine how students reach scientific conclusions through evidence from their investigations.

Visit project
Learn more

A conclusion alone cannot show the full inquiry process. Assessment needs to connect observations, student work and experiment records.

  • Bring observations, student work and sensor records into a shared evidence structure.
  • Distinguish supporting, conflicting and missing evidence, retaining uncertainty where needed.
  • Explore teacher-led assessment through importing, aligning and reviewing evidence.
Current scope: The workflow has been explored with synthetic examples. Its validity for classroom assessment has not yet been established.

Personal & Family · Personal family learning project

Weave words, stories and listening games into everyday English learning at home.

Visit project
Learn more

Young children benefit from short, repeated encounters with language in context, with activities that parents can easily join.

  • Connect vocabulary, sentences, stories and listening games.
  • Support parent-guided activities, audio playback, offline use and review.
  • Refine content and interactions around everyday family routines.
Current scope: A technical alpha for family use. It does not currently offer generative AI conversation or automated speech scoring.

Speaking Lab

Personal use

Personal & Family · Personal speaking practice tool

Prepare, rehearse and review English presentations, keeping recordings that make progress easier to revisit.

Visit project
Learn more

Improving spoken English takes more than polishing a script. It requires repeated practice and opportunities to listen back.

  • Keep presentation slides and script versions together.
  • Switch between guided and independent rehearsal, with recording and playback.
  • Build a personal practice library through question preparation and daily speaking activities.
Current scope: Developed for personal practice. It is not presented as a public multi-user service.

Teaching & Design · CocoRobo product practice

Explore the Educational Agent OS concept: organize AI agents, tasks and resources around teaching goals, with teachers in control of review and use.

Visit project
Learn more

When AI tools operate separately, teachers can struggle to follow how work was done and judge whether its results are ready for class.

  • Organize tasks, resources and classroom assistants around teachers’ goals.
  • Preserve execution and review records so teachers can inspect outputs and their supporting evidence.
  • Explore how reviewed experience can inform later course design and revision.
Current scope: Development and integration are ongoing. Working engineering workflows do not establish educational effectiveness.

CocoStudy

Research prototype

Learning & Research · Primary mathematics tutoring research

Explore evidence-based support for primary mathematics through answers, confidence and explanations.

Visit project
Learn more

A correct or incorrect answer does not fully explain a learner’s understanding. Tutoring needs a richer basis for deciding how to help.

  • Build a snapshot of understanding from a learner’s answers, confidence and explanations.
  • Use that evidence to select tutoring actions and check responses.
  • Study the connection between diagnosis and support in specific primary mathematics tasks.
Current scope: A research prototype. Diagnostic accuracy and learning outcomes still require validation.

CocoView Research Platform

Research prototype

Learning & Research · Teacher judgment and AI research

Help teachers return to source evidence when reading and evaluating AI-generated classroom reports.

Research sign-in
Learn more

A convincing AI report can still need scrutiny. Teachers need a practical way to find its evidence and retain their own judgment.

  • Connect classroom video, independent teacher judgments and AI report reading.
  • Study how people accept, revise or question AI analysis through evidence review.
  • Use case-based experiences to investigate the relationship between teacher and AI judgments.
Current scope: A research and case-review platform, rather than a validated automated classroom assessment service.

Personal & Family · Personal family learning project

Build a sustainable bilingual vocabulary routine through listening, matching and review.

Learn more

Families need learning content for different language goals, along with ways for parents to organize practice and revisit progress.

  • Offer English, Chinese and bilingual learning paths.
  • Introduce concepts through listening, matching and review activities.
  • Provide parent and learner entry points while refining a small content set.
Current scope: The beta covers a limited set of concepts and is not a complete language curriculum.

Learning & Research · Personal research tool

Bring classroom transcripts, platform interactions and work revisions into views that link analysis back to its sources.

Learn more

Classroom evidence comes from different places. Before interpreting a finding, researchers need to know what it is based on.

  • Import classroom and learning materials in TXT, CSV and JSON formats.
  • Filter interactions, transcripts and work revisions while keeping their sources accessible.
  • Save and export local projects so the analysis can be revisited.
Current scope: A proof of concept using synthetic data. AI analysis of real classroom materials has not yet been validated.
