Welcome to the Prism Community discussion forum.

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.

Prism was created by novice student developers in the Praxis Program at the Scholars' Lab, University of Virginia It has been recently discovered by the K-12 community, and is seeing heavy use right now. Prism is an experimental tool. It may break. It may be down during your class time. We can make no guarantees about availability, but are glad you are helping to test the tool!
