Questions about digital and multilingual learning

In cooperation with universities

In Canada, Binogi's research partners include the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE), University of Toronto, University of Ottawa, University of New Brunswick, and University of Montpellier.

Our current project is titled "Bridging the Gap: Enhancing Math Readiness for English Language Learners with Binogi". This project will explore strategies and resources to address the persistent underachievement of English Language Learners (ELLs) in STEM and Ontario's EQAO mathematics assessment. The initiative aims to improve academic language development, digital literacy, and test preparedness for minoritized learners in Grades 6 and 9.
