GroupRead

Master's Project

GroupRead is a web-based collaborative reading environment that focuses on reading comprehension for middle school learners outside the classroom. GroupRead leverages the affordances of online social communication as a way to encourage dialogue and to create a community around reading. Core functionalities, such as nonlinear visualizations of conversations, suggested entries into dialogue, and word banks scaffold the interactions between dialogue and reading, allowing learners to construct understanding collaboratively and build on each others' ideas.

Work included in initial lit review, needfinding, user experience research and testing, wireframing, user flows, scenarios, multiple design iterations, and various fidelity prototypes.

Done in collaboration with Isabel Cheng as our Master's Project for Stanford's Learning, Design & Technology Program
