ClioVis has transformed the way my students research, think, and present history. The connections tool helps them see how events are linked across time and space, and it’s incredible to watch their engagement grow as they explore the platform’s possibilities.
Whether as a review assignment or a research platform, ClioVis strengthened students’ critical thinking, writing and argumentation skills, while empowering them to become active interpreters of historical knowledge through digital media.
ClioVis is an example of what undergraduate pedagogy in the 21st century should look like – immersive, collaborative and hands-on.
I have been using ClioVis in all my classes since 2020. I love that it requires History students to make deliberate choices about adding and connecting events to show change over time, analysis, and use of evidence. Students often tell me that their ClioVis assignments are their favorites. And it is really fun!
Instead of simply recounting the events, I asked students to explain how those events fit into the larger themes of the course. ClioVis allows my students to think creatively, without the limiting structure of an essay.
Students can use ClioVis to outline lectures and readings, creating an ongoing visual “network map” of an entire course. You can plot answers to research-based questions, using the ClioVis visualization process to master difficult material which means you earn higher grades. When you’ve completed mapping your material you can export your research in a text format to turn in as an assignment or use as a first draft of a paper.
Advanced students can use ClioVis to assemble and visualize network analysis for dissertations and long-term research projects.
Genealogists can use it for family history projects.
Cliovis is also an excellent tool for developing citation skills since the platform prompts them for a source.
Use ClioVis to help students make connections that help them differentiate between causation and correlation. You can have students “reverse engineer” readings to help them discern an author’s methodology, with a particular focus on how they build their argument. ClioVis is also an excellent tool for developing citation skills as students cannot add an event to the timeline unless they have a source.
