Summary
The Off2Class Language Learning Platform aims to connect online English-as-a-Second-Language (ESL) Tutors with English Language Learners. In addition to providing structured content to facilitate targeted and effective ESL instruction, the Off2Class platform utilizes proprietary algorithms and machine learning techniques to measure and positively impact instruction efficacy. The goal of our current project is to further develop our ability to positively impact learning efficacy by advancing our capabilities with respect to the algorithms and machine learning techniques we currently utilize to quantify teacher performance and dynamically refine instruction content and strategies.

Description (French)
La plateforme d'apprentissage linguistique Off2Class vise à mettre en relation des tuteurs d'anglais langue seconde en ligne avec des apprenants de la langue anglaise. En plus de fournir un contenu structuré pour faciliter un enseignement ciblé et efficace de l'anglais langue seconde, la plateforme Off2Class utilise des algorithmes exclusifs et des techniques d'apprentissage machine pour mesurer et influencer positivement l'efficacité de l'enseignement. L'objectif de notre projet actuel est de développer notre capacité à avoir un impact positif sur l'efficacité de l'apprentissage, et ce, en améliorant nos capacités en ce qui concerne les algorithmes et les techniques d'apprentissage machine que nous utilisons actuellement. Le but est de quantifier la performance des enseignants et d'affiner dynamiquement le contenu et les stratégies d'enseignement.
