Four hundred years is the span of a series of changing foreign regimes; yet the island's story began far earlier. From Indigenous peoples and prehistory as the prologue, through the Dutch and Spanish, the Kingdom of Tungning, Qing rule, and Japanese rule, to the postwar era of authoritarianism, democratization, and transitional justice for the past. Includes a 3D island map of historical landmarks, a four-hundred-year timeline, and AI-guided reading. All content aims for objectivity and cites authoritative sources.
Enter Taiwan in Four Hundred Years 3D Island Map of Historical LandmarksNinety-four interactive science experiments you can do directly in your browser: adjust parameters, observe phenomena, record and export data. From pendulum periods and projectile motion to wave interference, it covers all four major fields with real-time computation and no installation required. After logging in, an AI lab assistant is also here to help as you work and ask questions.

Uedu offers a complete set of teaching and research tools to help teachers improve teaching quality
Each course has its own AI assistant that guides students to think through Socratic dialogue; teachers can customize their teaching style and guidance strategies.
After you upload materials, AI automatically generates quiz questions in various formats, with question-bank management, auto-grading, and score analysis.
Record classroom screen and webcam video, automatically saved and shareable with students for later review.
AI automatically analyzes the cognitive level of students' answers (remember, understand, apply, analyze, evaluate, create) to gauge depth of thinking.
Integrates three major psychological scales — RIASEC, Big Five, and MBTI — to help students understand their own learning traits.
Collect HRV, sleep, and stress data via a Garmin smartwatch to explore how physiological states affect learning.

What is photosynthesis?
Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use light energy to turn carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. The formula is: 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + light energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂
Guide thinking, train the brain
What is photosynthesis?
Great question! Before I answer, let me ask you first:
What 'materials' do you think a plant needs to grow?
Um... water, sunlight, and air?
Excellent! You've already named the three key elements.
Then,What role do you think 'sunlight' plays in this process?Is it a material? Or...?
The student is thinking about the difference between "energy" and "material"
Every student and every conversation is a “knowledge trajectory”

Address your concerns and use it with confidence
✅ Yes!Just fill out the online form, and the system does the rest automatically.
You don't need to understand how AI works, write any code, or learn new technical jargon. Through the online application system, fill in your course information, verify your school email, and once approved you can start using it.
Uedu offers two learning dialogue modes:
one is Open-ended Q&A, and the other is Socratic Dialogue。
The open-ended Q&A mode lets students ask freely and get answers directly — ideal for looking things up, reviewing, and self-study. It quickly clarifies concepts and checks whether understanding is correct.
The Socratic dialogue mode emphasizes guidance and critical thinking. The AI does not answer directly but uses a series of questions to prompt students to reason logically and discover answers themselves. Teachers can also design questions by course topic, forming Scaffolded learning's dialogue history.
If teachers want to design Socratic dialogue questions, they can use UeduGPT Dialogue Design Tool , upload teaching materials or knowledge-point text, let the AI help generate dialogue questions, and then teachers select or adjust them.
✅ Uedu offers two dialogue modes: Open-ended Q&A and Socratic Dialogue。
In the Open-ended Q&A mode , students can ask freely and get complete answers — ideal for review, confirming concepts, or self-study.
while in the Socratic dialogue mode , the AI is set to be a “Only asks questions, never gives answers.” This is the heart of Socratic learning — through questioning, the AI guides students to think and reason on their own rather than giving answers directly.
Example dialogue:
Student:“What is the formula for photosynthesis?”
AI：“Before I tell you the formula, can you first say what 'raw materials' a plant needs for photosynthesis?”
Teachers can freely choose the mode based on course design; to help students think deeply, we recommend using Socratic dialogue mode, and you can use UeduGPT Dialogue Design Tool to help generate dialogue prompts and questioning frameworks.
✅ Absolutely not.This is “augmentation,” not “replacement.”
AI is your teaching assistant, freeing up time to focus on the teaching that truly needs you.
✅ Suitable for almost every subject!
