SELConnect is an AI driven platform that facilitates the collection, analysis and correlation of Socio-Emotional Learning (SEL) skill metrics for students within a learning environment.
Structured around the five core SEL constructs – Self Awareness, Self Management, Social Awareness, Relationship Skills and Responsible Decision Making - it helps the institutions to adopt and customize the key skill sets to be assessed and tracked for different age groups of students.
The problem SELConnect is trying to address is;
Absence of real technological frameworks for collecting, analysing and assessing Socio-Emotional Learning skills data continuously.
Lack of relevant and specific, timely information on SEL skills of learners to address academic or behavioural issues.
Few tools to aid the research in SEL
Apart from having a great influence on important life outcomes, SEL skills also has a critical role in the development and effective use of cognitive skills.
However, a major obstacle is the absence of reliable metrics and a structured approach in this field that allow educators and policy-makers to make progress visible, and to address shortcomings.
