  4. With the emergence of Artificial Intelligence, it’s becoming essential for everyone—not just scientists and students—to harness its potential to stay competitive, think more critically, and drive innovation in a rapidly evolving world. SAGE3 is an open-source platform designed to help individuals and teams collaborate effectively—with each other and with AI—to accelerate the process of understanding, problem-solving, and discovery. It empowers everyday citizens to become smarter and more innovative by making complex information more accessible and actionable. Developed from over 20 years of National Science Foundation–funded research, SAGE3 is grounded in a deep understanding of how people work together across disciplines and interact with diverse streams of data. SAGE3 supports translational and convergent research, making it ideal for integrating insights from science, technology, community knowledge, and policy to tackle real-world challenges. It enables people to work with large and varied information sources—collaborating seamlessly with AI to reach decisions more quickly, clearly, and confidently. Whether working side-by-side on expansive shared display walls or contributing remotely from a laptop—at home, at work, or while traveling—SAGE3 enables flexible, co-located and distributed collaboration. It transforms static data into shared understanding, powering more informed, creative, and collective decision-making for all.

  5. With the decreasing cost of consumer display technologies making it easier for universities to have larger displays in classrooms, and the ubiquitous use of online tools such as collaborative whiteboards for remote learning during the COVID-19 pandemic, combining the two can be useful in higher education. This is especially true in visually intensive classes, such as data visualization courses, that can benefit from additional "space to teach," coined after the "space to think" sense-making idiom. In this paper, we reflect on our approach to using SAGE3, a collaborative whiteboard with advanced features, in higher education to teach visually intensive classes, provide examples of activities from our own visually-intensive courses, and present student feedback. We gather our observations into usage patterns for using content-rich canvases in education.
