Description
We are delighted to have two of our CTE co-op students, Charley Potter and Eleanor Walby, join us on Thursday November 7th to share their experience completing their reflective journals assisted by RIFF, a GenAI tool developed a team at Stanford University’s d.school. Charley and Eleanor will be joined by Leticia Britos Cavagnaro (RIFF founder) to demonstrate RIFF and explain how it supports reflection.
Each term, CTE co-op students use a PebblePad workbook and ePortfolio to reflect on their learning and track and showcase their growth and development during their co-op term. Beginning in Spring 2024, the co-op students have been testing the use of RIFF. RIFF is designed to help deepen the quality and depth of reflections. “While chatbots powered by generative AI are typically designed to answer questions and perform tasks, Riff focuses on asking learners thought-provoking questions to deepen their reflection process”.
We hope you can join us.
