- When: 2011-2013
- Project Link: Prism
- Project type: Student
Note: As of summer 2020, Prism is no longer active as a usable tool. We apologize for any inconvenience. A static site meant to convey the use, intervention of Prism, and some ideas for pedagogical alternatives can be found here.
Prism was a tool for collaborative interpretation of texts. Imagined as the digital instantiation of a vaporware game that was played in the Scholars’ Lab and SpecLab, the site allows users to upload documents for a group to interpret along various interpretive axes. The tool has seen significant use in K-12 classrooms.
