BLINC
nublinc.comBLINC (Building Literacy in N-person Collaborations) is a web-based platform that helps students and educators understand and improve how they collaborate. During group discussions, BLINC surfaces real-time analytics — discussion timelines, keywords, speaking patterns, and emotional tone — grounded in our collaboration literacy framework. Rather than simply monitoring participation, the goal is to help groups reflect on the quality of their collaboration and grow collaboration literacy as a skill. We have deployed BLINC in university and K-12 classrooms and continue to develop and study the platform.
