The decades-old model of teaching one subject to a large group of students in one classroom has come to the end. The new curriculum of Finnish schools is based on the idea that students are active individuals. They learn to set targets and solve problems both individually and with others. Learning takes place by working together and individually, thinking, planning, studying, and versatilely evaluating these processes.
The idea of Innofactor Skilli is to set individual learning targets for each student, to collect continuous data about learning, and to analyze and recommend individual improvements by machine learning. In addition to the teacher's evaluation, we obtain big data about learning from self and peer assessment as well as from the parents. Skilli enables completely new learning processes with which the teacher becomes the mentor and learning is not limited to the classroom.
In June 2015, Innofactor Skilli was chosen as a finalist for Microsoft's international category Education Partner of the Year. We also won the Quality Innovation of the Year award in both the domestic and international categories. Our objective is to turn Skilli into an international bestseller by utilizing Finland's reputation as one of the world's top countries in teaching.
"Innofactor Skilli brings continuity to learning assessment. As a teacher, Skilli provides me with information about the variety and use of teaching methods. I have recommended Skilli to all of our teachers who want their students to do self-evaluation."
