1. A method, comprising:
executing, by a server comprising a hardware computing device coupled to a network and comprising at least one processor executing instructions within a memory, a first database command selecting a learner profile data record, from within a database coupled to the network, for each learner in a group of learners, each learner profile data record comprising an initial assessment score for an initial curriculum activity associated with a learning objective, the initial curriculum activity being associated with a skill level within a global scale of English (GSE) framework, the GSE framework including a standardized, granular scale measuring at least one proficiency for at least one functional skill and further indicating a stage at which a learning objective associated with the at least one functional skill should be understood by a learner user;
executing, by the server, at least one software module comprising the instructions to cause the server to:
identify, within a logic within the instructions or at least one database record, a first threshold value and a second threshold value, defined within the GSE framework, within the logic or the database,
measure a proficiency of a plurality of tasks and learning objectives including the initial curriculum activity, and
indicate a stage at which the initial curriculum activity should be understood by a learner, wherein the first threshold value comprises a lower threshold value relative to the second threshold value, and the second threshold value comprises an upper threshold value relative to the first threshold value;
automatically determining, by the server:
a first group of learners, wherein the initial assessment score associated within the data record selected for each learner in the first group of learners is less than the lower threshold value, and
a second group of learners, wherein the initial assessment score associated within the data record selected for each learner in the second group of learners is greater than the upper threshold value;
executing, by the server:
a second database command selecting, from within the database, a remediation curriculum activity data record including a set of remediation curriculum activities associated, in the database or the logic, with the initial curriculum activity, and
a third database command identifying, within the database, an enhancement curriculum activity data record including a set of enhancement curriculum activities associated, in the database or the logic, with the initial curriculum activity;
generating, by the server, for display on a client device coupled to the network, a graphical user interface (GUI) including:
a first GUI component displaying the first group of learners, automatically selected, and
a second GUI component displaying the second group of learners, automatically selected;
modifying, by the server via the logic within the at least one software module, lesson plans associated with:
each learner in the first group of learners to include at least one remediation curriculum activity from the set of remediation curriculum activities, and
each learner in the second group of learners to include at least one enhancement curriculum activity from the set of enhancement curriculum activities,
wherein a first modified lesson plan, of the lesson plans modified by the server, that is associated with a first learner in the first group of learners includes a different remediation curriculum activity from the set of remediation curriculum activities than a second modified lesson plan, of the lesson plans modified by the server, that is associated with a second learner in the first group of learners;
activating and providing, by the server, for the first group of learners, a first electronic interactive link configured to provide, when activated, access to the at least one remediation curriculum activity;
activating and providing, by the server, for the second group of learners, a second electronic interactive link configured to provide, when activated, access to the at least one enhancement curriculum activity corresponding to the upper threshold value;
in response to detecting interaction with the first electronic interactive link, automatically transmitting, by the server, the at least one remediation curriculum activity to at least one learner included in the first group of learners; and
in response to detecting interaction with the second electronic interactive link, automatically transmitting, by the server, the at least one enhancement curriculum activity corresponding to the upper threshold value to at least one learner included in the second group of learners.
