Demos
Video demos of PAWS Lab systems and research projects, organized by group. Slide-based demos should be added to the associated Systems page rather than here.
To add a new demo, copy an existing block below and fill in the details. Each demo needs: a video link (YouTube, Vimeo, or hosted file), a short description, author(s), and optionally a thumbnail image.
Adaptive Learning
ModuLearn
ModuLearn is an open-source eLearning platform and smart-learning content dashboard for organizing, delivering, and studying interactive educational modules across an open learning ecosystem. Developed alongside the broader SPLICE infrastructure, ModuLearn supports reusable course structures, configurable course sessions, smart-content launch flows, role-specific student and instructor workspaces, and research-oriented study workflows. Its roadmap emphasizes flexible integration with multiple Learning Management Systems through standards-based and platform-specific connectors, while preserving a modular architecture for analytics, adaptive sequencing, content replacement, and experimental learning interventions.

Program Construction Examples (PCEX)
 |
PCEX is an interactive learning tool which demonstrates program construction examples to help students to develop program construction skills. It supports exploring the program construction examples freely and provide challenges to the students to help them self-assess their learning of program construction knowledge. It is now a component of ADAPT2 Infrastructure.
|
WEAT
 |
Worked Example Authoring Tool (WEAT) is an authoring tool for PCEX. The integrated ChatGPT support can be used to generate code explanations required for creating a program construction example. Created examples can be shared publicly with others, embed through iframes, or in an LMS like Canvas. |
Course Authoring
 |
The Course Authoring Tool is designed to simplify the process of course creation for instructors. This tool allows instructors to efficiently organize and bundle smart content from multiple providers into structured units or modules, which can be seamlessly integrated into LMS such as Canvas. Additional features include the ability to explore and clone publicly shared course structures, create new courses from scratch, and facilitate sharing and reuse of course materials. |
Intelligent Textbooks
Recommend Wikipedia Articles to Understand Difficult Concepts
Our system applies the ideas of concept extraction from a digital textbook on topics in cognitive psychology and computer science for a graduate class in a large US-based university to generate search terms that can link with Wikipedia articles. Finally, we integrate these articles into the textbook reading interface, enabling students to quickly refer to Wikipedia articles in connection with the reading material of the course to understand a concept or topic that they struggle with or are interested in exploring further. With this demo, we present a system that can be utilized for data collection in a real-world classroom setup. Link to Paper Proceedings -- EDM23 Proceedings
