An eventful year for #DD-Lang! Since summer we’ve presented in 7 conferences in Europe, USA and Canada. Topics focus on #dynamic-diagnostic #assessment; from complimentary value of GenAI in #mediating #learners to #teachers’ use of assessment information to guide instructional practices.

Our DD-LANG Development Day “Shared Spaces, Separate Journeys” @opetushallitus.bsky.social on 10.11.2025 brought #teachers and #researchers together. Our goal was to develop ways to enable individual #learning trajectories while guiding groups of learners in the #classroom.

This was such a productive year for DD-LANG, with numerous meetings with #teachers and #learners, many #conference #presentations, and notable developments incorporating #AI into DD-LANG. We also wrote a paper with teachers for the #Kielikukko journal. Thank you to everyone who made this happen!

DD-Lang team has been travelling around Finland to engage with our amazing #teacher collaborators and meet with students. We collected lots of data, had really interesting #discussions with teachers and #students, and got lots of ideas. Also, a shark is missing in Turku, apparently
