Tools built around how communities preserve and teach their language
EchoGrounds gives language programs, schools, and community teams practical digital tools to document knowledge, build lessons, and support learners — all in one place.
Back to Overview
Community Dictionary with Audio and Cultural Context
Your community's language knowledge stored in one place. Document words with First Nations language spelling, phonetic guides, translations, categories, audio recordings, and rich cultural context — built for the way language is held and shared in your community.
- Capture First Nations language spelling and phonetic pronunciation guides
- Attach audio recordings directly to words so learners can hear and repeat
- Assign words to categories for organized browsing and lesson building
- Add cultural notes, definitions, and parts of speech
- Role-based access so Elders, teachers, and admins each work at the right level
Long-form Resources for Stories and Teachings
Go beyond individual words. Preserve stories, teachings, and cultural knowledge with structured long-form content, translations, and file attachments that community members and learners can return to again and again.
- Create text-based language resources with full translation support
- Attach supporting files including audio, images, and documents
- Organize content by resource type for easy discovery and program use
- Keep traditional knowledge accessible and well-structured for current and future generations
- Link resources back to dictionary words for a connected learning experience
Guided Learning Journeys and Assessments
Give learners a structured path through your language program. Journeys let community program builders group words into themed learning flows that learners can follow, practice, and be assessed on at their own pace.
- Group words into themed paths aligned to community teaching priorities
- Learners step through vocabulary with context, audio, and cultural notes
- Built-in assessments test recognition and recall at each journey milestone
- Track individual learner progress across all active journeys
- Design multiple journeys for different age groups, skill levels, or topics
