Riverin / Resources

The thinking behind Riverin.

Explore the knowledge–skills framework, research references and the questions we plan to test with students and teachers.

Knowledge and skills, connected.

Understanding a concept and using it in a new situation are different kinds of evidence. Riverin keeps both in view.

Knowledge

Infiltration

Surface runoff

Evaporation

Skills

Explain a mechanism

Compare conditions

Design an investigation

Illustrative AP Environmental Science knowledge–skills framework, not a scored student profile.

Resources when they help.

Riverin Library connects relevant articles and videos to the task at hand. Students choose whether to use them; the learning path does not require an extra resource at every step.

What we plan to test

Development and internal testing are underway. Next are small, supervised student and teacher trials with independent expert review.

Understand and update

Evaluate Lens reliability and whether updated profiles improve recommended next steps.

Adapt the experience

Compare tailored pathways, tools and support with shared defaults. Measure usability and independent performance separately.

Check and revisit

Test retention and transfer using new tasks immediately after learning and after a delay.

Support teachers

Assess assignment workflows, follow-up decisions and the time teachers need to use the evidence.

Planned research. Success criteria will be set before each trial; critical failures will be addressed before wider rollout.
