Project: Corgi

"Corgi", an online suite of graphic organizers built for real-time collaborative use, was developed with support from the National Science foundation and US Department of Education. The application is freely available.

My role: technology lead. Developed initial architecture and first version, and then supervised employees and contractors for later iterations.

Technologies: ReactJS, Firebase, CodeMirror, Google APIs, Matomo.

Description: This client-side application allows students to construct graphic organizers for various types of projects, including compare and contrast, question and subquestions, & causes and effects. Login, document storage and organization, and sharing all make use of Google APIs so that the documents created with Corgi behave much like Google Docs. Teachers can share partially-completed documents with their classes, and any group of users can collaborate in real time, seeing each other's changes as they are made.

Each location in the graphic organizer can hold both text and an image, video, or external link. Completed organizers can be exported as a Google Slides presentation.
