WISE5 Component

What is a Component?

Components allow students to read text, watch videos, answer multiple choice questions, fill out a table, plot a graph, and perform other activities. For people familiar with WISE4, the component is equivalent to a WISE4 step. Authors can add one or more components of different types in a WISE5 step. Each component has their own scope and can communicate with any other component within the same WISE project.

Discussion

demo

The Discussion component allows students to respond to a question and view and reply to their classmates' responses. Students can type text and attach images when writing their response. Discussion has the option to be "gated", where students must post their own answer before seeing other students' responses. Discussions happen in real-time.

Draw

demo

Students can use the tools in the Draw Component to draw sketches and models. The Draw Component has these tools: line, rectangle, circle, stamp, undo/redo, and free-form. Students can also add images from their own computer onto the drawing canvas.

Embedded

demo

If you've developed your own application and want to use it in a WISE project, you can use the "Embedded Component" which allows you to place your application inside WISE and access the WISE API to save and retrieve user data from your application.

Graph

demo

Students can create prediction graphs and compare against a graph with imported data using the Graph component. Authors can specify the axis and labels. This component supports multiple series, markers and regression.

HTML

demo

HTML page that can be authored and embedded within a WISE step. Authors can upload images and videos to the project and style the page using HTML and CSS via the Authoring Tool. HTML components are often used to present information or provide instructions for the students to read.

Label Component

Students can label items on an image using the Label component. They can choose from a pre-authored set of labels or add new labels on their own.

Match

Match Component allows students to match "choice items" to their target "buckets" using drag and drop. The choice items can be text and/or images. The Match Component can be authored to automatically score and give feedback when the student submits their work.

Multiple Choice

demo

Students select one or more choices. Choices can have radio buttons or check boxes next to them and can consist of text, images, or html. A single correct choice or multiple correct choices can be specified for auto grading.

Open Response

demo

Students read a question or prompt and type up their response in a textarea. The prompt can contain text, images, or html. The students can use a plain text editor or rich text editor when typing their response.

Outside URL

A webpage can be displayed within a WISE component. All that is needed is the url to the outside web page.

Table

demo

Students are shown a table with a certain number of rows and a certain number of columns. A cell in the table can have pre-authored text in it. Cells can also be made read only to the student.
