The Technology Integration and Evaluation (TIE) Research Lab: Innovative Directions in Educational Research
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This poster profiles the new $750,000 Technology Integration and Evaluation (TIE) Research Lab at the University of Victoria (Canada), which has been funded by the Canada Foundation for Innovation, British Columbia Knowledge Development Fund, Dell, Telus, Knowledge North, the University of Victoria, and SMART Technologies. The lab houses three high definition video conferencing codecs, a recording/streaming server, various SMART products, eight research workstations, mobile laptop labs and two experimental classrooms for deployment of the aforementioned equipment. This poster will showcase the current directions for research. Conversations surrounding opportunities for collaboration will be welcome.
Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
