Our product roadmap
Looking ahead. 2026–2027
Roadmap updated August 22, 2026
Our focus areas
01Student Progress Tracking
This year's biggest investment. We're building a skills-based progress tracking system that goes beyond level-to-level measurement. Every piece of Off2Class content (lesson slides, homework assignments, unit checks and placement tests) will map to specific language skills, giving teachers a clear picture of how each student is performing skill by skill and what to work on next.
02Instructional Content & Teacher Support
We're expanding the tools that make Off2Class lessons easier to teach and more effective for students. Teacher Guides and Student Handouts — currently available for select lesson groups — will roll out to more of the Lesson Library, and our ongoing Lesson Refresh will continue modernizing standalone lessons with updated content and design.
03Assessments & Platform Experience
The Adaptive Placement Test and Homework Speaking Auto-Scoring are live. We’re redesigning the platform experience to make student data more accessible and actionable.

Student Progress Tracking
Track growth within each level, connect results to completed work, and find lessons that address each student’s needs.
Explore the vision →Overview
A skills-based progress tracking system that maps every assessment and practice activity in Off2Class to specific language skills. Teachers will see how a student is performing on each skill, which skills need attention and which lessons address the gaps.
Currently, teachers can track student progress from level to level by reassigning the Placement Test or Adaptive Placement Test. Student Progress Tracking takes this further by measuring growth within each level, giving teachers a much more detailed and actionable picture of student development.
This system will roll out in stages across different parts of the platform.
What the first versions include
The first versions report accuracy and evidence. For each skill, teachers see how the student performed and how much completed work sits behind that result, so it is clear whether a score comes from a single activity or from a consistent pattern across several. The more assessment and practice work a student finishes, the more the picture fills in.
Why
Tracking that a student moved from Level 3 to Level 4 is useful, but it doesn't tell a teacher what specific skills that student still needs to work on. EL Coordinators and teachers need granular skill-level data to make informed instructional decisions, group students effectively and demonstrate progress to stakeholders.
Student Progress Tracking builds on our existing Can-do Descriptors framework by connecting skill-level data directly to Off2Class lessons and assessments. Instead of teachers manually cross-referencing skills and content, the platform will surface specific recommendations: "This student needs work on these skills — here are the lessons and activities to address them."

Customizable Assessments
Choose specific skills and domains, or start with a suggested template. Results feed into Student Progress Tracking.
Explore this update →Overview
A new feature that lets teachers build fully customizable assessments for their students. Rather than being limited to a single purpose, Customizable Assessments can be used in a variety of ways — from ongoing progress monitoring to targeted diagnostics — helping teachers see where a student is already strong and what to address next.
Teachers can build a Customizable Assessment by selecting the exact skills and domains they want to assess, or start from a suggested template based on their students' level or learning goals.
Customizable Assessment results feed directly into Student Progress Tracking, adding flexible assessment data to the skills picture Off2Class is building for each student.
Why
The Placement Test is already a useful tool for evaluating overall level — teachers can assign it at the start and end of the year to track movement from level to level. Customizable Assessments work at a different resolution and for broader purposes. They can be used to monitor progress within a level, diagnose gaps in a student’s current ability, or assess targeted groups of skills.
That degree of flexibility matters for instructional planning and intervention. Teachers working with students at the same level often find significant variation in which skills those students have developed. Customizable Assessments give teachers a fast, structured way to answer exactly the questions they have about their students’ learning.

Classroom Activities
Give every student a way to take part in live lesson activities, starting with gap fills.
Explore this update →Overview
A new way for every student in a live classroom to participate in lesson activities at the same time.
Why
Teachers leading live lessons with multiple students need ways to keep every learner actively engaged with the content. Classroom Activities will give teachers that capability, starting with gap fills and expanding based on teacher feedback.
CTE (Career and Technical Education) Materials

CTE (Career and Technical Education) Materials
Career and Technical Education lessons connect language learning to fields such as manufacturing, hospitality and construction.
Explore this update →Overview
A new series of lessons covering CTE (Career and Technical Education) content. These lessons introduce exactly the language and skills that students need to start careers in different fields, such as manufacturing, hospitality, construction, and more.
Why
CTE lessons help students connect English learning to real-world goals. By introducing job-specific language and scenarios, these materials support learners in building confidence while preparing for career pathways. They also ensure students are learning the language needed for specific industries, helping reduce barriers and expand access to meaningful employment opportunities.

UX Redesign
A clearer interface for accessing student data and turning insights into instructional decisions.
Explore this update →Overview
A redesign of the Off2Class platform experience, modernizing the interface and making it easier for teachers to access student data, track progress and translate insights into instructional decisions. This initiative was deprioritized in 2025–2026 to focus on assessments and auto-scoring, and is now a key priority for 2026–2027.
Why
Teachers need quick, clear access to student performance data to make good instructional decisions. The redesigned platform will consolidate key information in a more intuitive format, reducing the time teachers spend navigating between screens and making it simpler to identify student needs, plan instruction and group students effectively.

Adaptive Placement Test (Speaking)
Speaking completes the Adaptive Placement Test across four language domains plus grammar.
Explore this update →Overview
A speaking assessment section for the Adaptive Placement Test. Teachers can assign any combination of grammar, reading, listening, writing and speaking sections to evaluate their students — making the Adaptive Placement Test a complete assessment across all four language domains plus grammar.
Why
The Adaptive Placement Test was designed to give teachers flexible, targeted assessment options. Adding the speaking section completes that vision. Teachers can assess all four domains independently or together, adapting the test to their specific needs without requiring students to complete sections that aren't relevant.
