The Innovative Dynamics in Educational Language Assessment (IDELA) Lab at the University of Toronto focuses on pioneering research that bridges the gap between advanced assessment methods and real-world educational challenges. Our lab specializes in the development of dynamic and cognitive diagnostic assessments that cater to students from diverse linguistic backgrounds, aiming to enhance both oral language and literacy skills. Leveraging cutting-edge AI and machine learning technologies, IDELA explores the intricate relationship between cognitive, metacognitive, and emotional factors in learning, contributing to impactful classroom interventions and educational policy reform. 

The IDELA Lab collaborates closely with educators, policymakers, and technical experts, ensuring our research is not only theoretically robust but also practically applicable. We have successfully implemented various educational tools, including the BalanceAI platform, which provides real-time, adaptive feedback to students and teachers. Our interdisciplinary team consists of experts in psychometrics, machine learning, and language education, allowing us to tackle complex educational issues from multiple perspectives. Through ongoing partnerships with school boards and international research grants, the IDELA Lab is at the forefront of transforming educational assessment practices globally.
