Résumé
The Off2Class Language Learning Platform upskills educators which results in powerful learning outcomes in their English Language Learner (ELL) students. In addition to providing structured content to facilitate targeted and effective ESL instruction (with embedded skills development for teachers), the Off2Class platform utilizes proprietary algorithms and machine learning techniques to measure and positively impact instructor efficacy. In our previous IRAP pilot project (2021-22), we were successful in advancing our capabilities to positively impact learning efficacy by quantifying teacher performance and enhancing instruction content and strategies. We were able to facilitate this through our algorithms and machine learning techniques, and the outcome allowed us to rank the performance of educators on Off2Class, and then pair them with students in our K12 school district clients. This project allowed us to commercialize our tutor offering (to complement our software/curriculum sa

Description (French)
La plateforme d’apprentissage des langues Off2Class permet aux éducateurs de se perfectionner, ce qui se traduit par de puissants résultats d’apprentissage chez leurs élèves apprenant l’anglais (ELL). En plus de fournir un contenu structuré pour faciliter un enseignement ciblé et efficace de l’anglais langue seconde (avec un développement des compétences intégré pour les enseignants), la plateforme Off2Class utilise des algorithmes propriétaires et des techniques d’apprentissage automatique pour mesurer et avoir un impact positif sur l’efficacité des instructeurs. Dans notre précédent projet pilote PARI (2021-2022), nous avons réussi à faire progresser nos capacités pour avoir un impact positif sur l’efficacité de l’apprentissage en quantifiant la performance des enseignants et en améliorant le contenu et les stratégies d’enseignement. Nous avons pu faciliter cela grâce à nos algorithmes et à nos techniques d’apprentissage automatique, et le résultat nous a permis de classer les performances des éducateurs sur Off2Class, puis de les associer à des étudiants dans nos clients des districts scolaires K12. Ce projet nous a permis de commercialiser notre offre de tuteurs (en complément de notre logiciel/programme d’études).
