Teachley Connect will permit students to continue playing exactly where they left off on any tablet. The platform will also connect apps into a single teacher dashboard, providing teachers detailed reports on student performance across games, w ...

This project will develop transmedia kits including videos, games, creation tools, character cards, and comic books to engage and support Kindergarten to grade five students in learning strategies to understand abstract mathematical topics, such as such as on misconceptions related to place value and multi-digit operations. The kits will be a supplemental resource for elementary teachers looking t ...

The project will develop a prototype of a formative assessment dashboard for teachers to view, monitor, and gain insight from students' digital work in mathematics to inform instruction. In Phase I, the team will develop a prototype of the formative assessment tool to support teachers' pedagogical approaches, identify areas for personalized intervention, and plan math discussions that address stud ...

Multiple concurrent FMV feeds can provide useful context during special forces missions but the flood of data from disconnected viewpoints can dramatically increase cognitive load on SOF operators. Substantial network bandwidth is also consumed by streaming multiple concurrent video feeds with highly redundant content. Kitware proposes TeleSculptor Multiplex, an approach to combine multiple FMV fe ...

The introduction of substandard or counterfeit materials into the DoD supply chain can have extremely expensive, and potentially life threatening, consequences. Current techniques used to detect nonconforming materiel can be destructive (e.g., manual sectioning and inspection of a part), time consuming and expensive (e.g., micro-computed tomography, ultrasound), or provide only limited informatio ...

Counterfeit electronic parts in the Department of Defense (DoD) supply chain undermine the operational readiness and performance of weapons systems, provide a competitive edge to adversaries, and put American warfighters at risk. Only through the elimination of such counterfeit components can we assure confidence in our defense systems and in defense force readiness and lethality. The DoD establis ...
