Bring Academic Research to Life with Interactive Insight Collections
- Context & Challenge:
Academic research is typically confined to peer-reviewed journals, hidden behind paywalls, and written in complex academic language that limits accessibility. While rich in insight, these studies lack practical usability for non-specialists and often go unread by policymakers, educators, or industry professionals.
Most researchers have limited means to track how their work is used or to generate ongoing value from it. As a result, even highly valuable discoveries remain siloed, underutilized, and unsupported by sustainable funding or real-world adoption.
- Transformation with Wizly
- Dr. Nia, a neuroscience researcher, transformed her lab’s decade-long research on cognitive behavior into a publicly accessible Insight Collection using Wizly.
She organized peer-reviewed papers, experiment recordings, and teaching tools into modular learning units tailored for educators, EdTech developers, and applied psychology teams.
Her AI assistant was trained to explain complex neuroscience terms, walk users through experimental setups, and offer use-case guidance for classrooms or product design. The Collection reached over 10,000 views in its first 6 months and was formally adopted by 3 EdTech platforms, integrated into 4 university curricula, and licensed by 2 non-profits focused on digital learning equity.
How she created it:
- 1. Content Structuring: Broke down 8 research papers into thematic lessons (Learning Models, Attention Mapping, Decision Neuroscience).
2. Multimedia Layers: Added explanatory videos, annotated diagrams, and downloadable experiment protocols.
3. AI Assistant Setup: Enabled the AI to explain terminology (e.g., "What is executive function?"), walk users through models, and generate quiz questions for educators.
4. Access Control: Made key modules public and reserved advanced lab walkthroughs for verified partners.
- How Stakeholders Interacted with It
* Over 2,100 total user sessions within the first 90 days
* AI assistant processed 920+ concept clarification questions, with peak usage during final exam season
* 72% of student users returned to the Collection multiple times for study support
* 18 instructors incorporated Collection materials into live coursework
* 4 peer labs from other universities reused methodologies via citation-enabled exports
* 7 feedback loops were initiated through in-app surveys, informing content updates and usability enhancements
* Students used AI chat to clarify technical concepts and suggest supplementary readings
* Educators built lesson plans using downloadable modules and AI-generated exercises
* Researchers in other fields reused protocols and cited live-linked methodologies
