17 Types of Teaching Projects in Taiwe: K12 + Tertiary + Research
TL;DR: Taiwe ships 17 project templates covering K12 lesson/exam/grading, tertiary curriculum/programming, and academic research. Project-as-folder is the unit of organization: each project carries its own skills, agents, files, and Git history.
What is a "Teaching Project" in Taiwe?
A teaching project in Taiwe is a self-contained working folder — analogous to a Git repository — that bundles a teacher's lesson/exam/research artifacts with the agent configuration, skill pins, and version history needed to reproduce or extend the work.
The 17 templates group into three families: 8 K12 classroom, 5 tertiary / vocational, and 4 academic research.
Authoritative Quote: "Project-based organization makes AI work reviewable: every artifact belongs to a project, every project has a history, every history is reversible." — Taiwe Product Architecture Document v3.2, 2026
Project-as-folder is a deliberate rejection of the chat-thread model. Teachers don't want to scroll through 80 messages to find the exam they generated last Tuesday.
Why This Matters for Teachers
Data & Background
- Average teacher manages 6–9 distinct artifact types per subject per term (lesson plans, worksheets, exams, slides, parent letters, comments, reports) (Source: NIES teacher-workflow survey, 2024).
- 87% of teachers report losing track of "which version is final" at least once per term (Source: same).
- The MoE 2022 New Curriculum Framework calls for big-unit design — a multi-week coherent arc, not isolated lessons — which demands tools that can hold a unit-level context.
- Academic researchers in tertiary settings juggle literature, data, drafts, revisions, and submission artifacts across multiple projects simultaneously.
Industry Landscape
| Project Model | Representative | Strength | Limitation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chat thread | ChatGPT, Claude.ai | Easy to start | No version, no structure |
| Document folder | Word, Google Docs | Familiar | No AI integration |
| AI project workspace | Notion AI, Cursor | Project structure | Not teacher-specific |
| Taiwe project template | Taiwe | Teacher-domain-aware + version-controlled + AI | Desktop install |

How to Get Started
- Open Taiwe and click New Project.
- Pick a template from the 17 — or start blank.
- Tell the agent in natural language what this term's project is.
- Pin skills + agents to your project.
- Commit checkpoints at every major milestone.
Q1: Can I create my own project type?
A: Yes. Pick Blank Project, configure agents and skills, then save it as a custom template. Schools often standardize 2–3 templates (e.g. "Our Monthly Exam Standard").
Q2: What's the difference between a K12 and a tertiary template?
A: Tertiary templates emphasize learning outcomes, research methodology, and longer deliverables; K12 templates emphasize lesson arcs, exam blueprints, and parent communication. The agent roster differs accordingly.
Q3: Do projects sync across devices?
A: Projects are local-first (Git-backed on disk). Schools can sync via their own Git server (e.g. Gitea) for cross-device access. We do not upload project content to Taiwe's cloud.
