Learning situations
Educators adapt learning situations or create their own ones to work on transversal competencies as well as curricular objectives in their subjects. They do this with the help of an AI model. The model also connects them to the relevant competency framework. Learning situations can also incorporate thematic axes.

Personalisation & Improvement
Learners and educators can see their competency development progress. The school can send competencies reports to families, to make efforts visible and to enrich the discussion between families and school. Learners and educators gain insight into their traits and strengths, driving self-awareness and enabling education personalisation. Learning analytics help improve the teaching-learning process.
