CoRE Lab to Present Rivulet Framework at ISLS 2026

The CoRE Lab is excited to present our work on the Rivulet design framework at the upcoming 2026 Annual Meeting of the International Society for the Learning Sciences (ISLS). Rivulet is a python-based data pipeline designed to help educators, curriculum designers, and researchers extract pedagogically generative datasets from online telemetry portals (such as EPA air quality and USGS water quality databases).
