Platforms & Software Development

Tools for teaching, assessment, and the week.

Six platforms built with Iantha F. Malbon — from AI-era assignment design and program assessment to planning, policy analysis, and a small-business booking app.

The platforms

Each one is built to put evidence, time, or policy numbers where the person making the decision can see them.

Trojan Pathways Toolkit

A faculty toolkit of 46 assignment designs that lets students use AI openly while requiring them to explain, verify, and defend their work. Faculty build a ready-to-use assignment, check its sources against the scholarly literature, and deliver it to Canvas.

GROOVE Platform

A web platform that puts teaching, assessment, and accreditation on one record. Instructors build assignments from a verified-literature library, grades flow into program assessment reports, and every approval is logged on a public verification page.

Defensible by Design Course Builder

A course-building platform in which a coordinator builds a multi-section course once, with outcomes, assignments, rubrics, and calibration samples, and hands it to every instructor. Assessment evidence comes out of ordinary grading.

Weekmath

A planning app that reads a person’s calendars, counts what already claims the week, and books the hours deadlines need into the real gaps. Users see what the week can afford before they say yes.

Metes

A policy-impact platform that reports what a place-based designation, such as an Opportunity Zone, did in a given area and projects what a proposed investment would do. Every figure traces to a published causal estimate.
