AR/VR
Novakid is an English as a Second Language (ESL) EdTech platform that utilizes AR/VR,
machine learning and gamification technologies. Today it is the number one online English school
in Europe, offering individual lessons for children aged between 4 and 12 years old.
Machine learning
To get an accurate assessment of the child’s knowledge, we analyze 1,500 ‘micro-skills’ through
the use of machine learning and AI technology. For example, we monitor how well the child has mastered
a particular grammatical structure,whether he/she often forgets words or pauses in their speech.
The technology-driven approach neutralizes external factors and eliminates possible inaccuracies
in the assessment. This being said, our teachers are involved in the grading process after
a student has completed a set number of lessons.
Gamification
Our digital-only curriculum offers individual 25 minute lessons with a qualified teacher.
This gamified learning platform includes virtual 360-degrees tours, in-lesson games, creative
homework assignments, animated comic stories and a rewards dashboard that ensure that our young
students remain engaged in the learning experience.
