how does it work?

Educational innovation leaders share stories from their experiences with students. In the first stage, they formulate a narrative with the support of a chatbot that helps sharpen a dilemma or insight emerging from practice. Subsequently, they connect the story to pedagogical principles with the assistance of another chatbot. In this way, cumulative knowledge is constructed and linked to a shared knowledge map that can be explored, expanded, and learned from.
