Prism: http://prism.scholarslab.org/
Prism is a tool for "crowdsourcing interpretation." Users are invited to provide an interpretation of a text by highlighting words according to different categories, or "facets." Each individual interpretation then contributes to the generation of a visualization which demonstrates the combined interpretation of all the users. We envision Prism as a tool for both pedagogical use and scholarly exploration, revealing patterns that exist in the subjective experience of reading a text.

If you’ve ever stood in front of a class of students and wished the quiet ones would weigh in with a response, here’s a tool designed to give even the most reluctant learner a voice. Verso Learning has introduced the Verso app, which activates learning using authentic student voice as a driver for deeper, personalized learning design. The Verso app gives teachers the ability to create a challenge (inquiry-based learning activity) from audio, video, images —and embed content easily from other sources (YouTube, Vimeo, Dropbox, URL). Teachers can add questions and instructions to a challenge and reveal each student’s thinking. Students participate anonymously, and each response invites further discussion by classmates. This discussion presents authentic feedback in which students are required to submit their own ideas before gaining access to other responses. Teachers can measure students’ understanding and engagement, and can view participation data that shows quantity and quality of student engagement. Use of the app encourages collaboration, critical thinking and scaffolds learning into more challenging assignments. Perfect for project-based learning and “flipped” classrooms.
Design deep learning activities, students have anonymity, however the teacher can who is who. Students cannot see other students work until they submit therefore they are not influenced by others.
