If you have seen bai&by’s new advert, maybe the slogan The Neuronal Reevolution has caught your attention. But… what exactly do we mean? What’s behind this ad? Why do we refer to it as Re-evolution? What has been so far the trajectory of bai&by, and which are its plans for the future? What is Neuronal DDK?
Throughout this blog post we are going to give you all the details of the Neuronal DDK, and while we are at it, we shall also explain the intricacies of the project behind The Neuronal Reevolution, so that you can understand the solid technological pillars and pedagogical projects that are the core of the marketing campaign.
In the early 1980s, a group of teachers, who forged their way in the promotion of the Basque language and culture for adults, by vocation and pedagogical instinct, created the DIDAKTIKER project in 1991 to address the failure of learning second languages, based on the following diagnosis: the main problem is that most adults find it difficult to structure and organize the information received, and this creates a weak basis that makes it difficult to advance in the learning process.
Since its inception, DIDAKTIKER has carried out several pioneering R&D developments: DDK System, TeleExpert, EMTR, e-Agents, c-Extractor, LangMind, EVIE2… The accumulation of both technological and pedagogical knowledge has created the only intelligent learning platform for languages in the market, combining the latest advances in technology, pedagogy and neurolinguistics.
The companies that constituted the project merged into the bai&by Foundation in 2007.
Neuronal DDK is the outcome of a 40 year long didactic-pedagogical journey, a pioneering project in its maturity.
It is more than just a languages learning application, it is an entire platform dedicated to teaching and learning languages. It addresses the needs of the training service: online teaching and learning, diagnosis, evaluation, management applications, e-portfolio, platform for conversation classes…
With our newly developed LangMind research project, we’ve equipped the intelligent DDK System with linguistic intelligence and developed the DDK Linguistic technology. By means of different technologies, it creates the linguistic footprint of each student as they progress in their very own learning process.
These are the databases that the new DDK Neuronal project will be utilizing to eventually achieve a paradigm shift, calculating student profiles, components, effort… and using both mathematical analysis and neuronal network technologies:
Students will be able to study when and where they wish. They shall have their own itinerary according to their knowledge and qualities.
Neuronal DDK will design specific strategies to complete the linguistic footprints of students, by means of Artificial Intelligence and mathematical modelling. Implementing all these strategies it shall succeed in making forecasts, analysing profiles, students’ needs and progress.
There will be a neuronal corrector in the background. In addition, it integrates the speech corrector, employing STT technology (Speech-to-Text) in sections for speech training.
And there will also be the development of the phonetic knowledge of the voice for automatic prosody analysis.
The new platform has been designed to run each target language from multiple starting languages. For example, English from Spanish, Basque, French, Italian… Or Euskera from Spanish, French, English…
The web application that we’re developing has more than 70 modules to complete the learning process to work on the language as a whole: 4 language skills, micro-situations, grammar, incorrect-correct, dictation modules, didactic games, evaluation tools, e-portfolio, configuration module…
For many years bai&by has been the only intelligent language-learning system in the market, and it has been a pioneer in the application of neuro-linguistics and artificial intelligence: DDK intelligent system, automatic labelling, voice phonetic recognition…
DDK Neuronal will bring The re-evolution to online teaching with several improvements:
This project involves several interdisciplinary teams, each contributing to its specific area: DIDAKTIKER’s research team, bai&by’s didactics-team, Crisis Creativa, Zorraquino, three technology centres in the Basque Country: Elhuyar, Vicomtech, BCAM…
As you can see, there is yet a big task ahead of us, but we shall go for the Neuronal DDK project with the same passion we had 25 years ago when we built the bai&by project.
To help you successfully complete your learning process, you will be accompanied by the most advanced technology and a powerful team. Teachers, tutors, technicians… The re-evolution of bai&by began a long time ago, and the current improvement will be enormous. We are very pleased that we have come this far and continue to develop innovative projects in language learning. Shall we re-evolve together?
