Our platform enables instructors to add content, create or import quizzes in multiple formats, view and analyze common student mistakes, and ultimately save time through automatic grading. Students can access chapters, lessons, assignments, and quizzes all in one place, with automatically graded quizzes for instant feedback and unlimited randomly-generated practice questions created using an innovative synchronous context-free grammar approach, allowing students to obtain extra language practice outside of class. Currently, the platform supports content from Book 1 of N{\={a}} Kai ʻEwalu, a popular Hawaiian textbook. H{\={o}}ʻoi Aʻo not only makes language practice more accessible for a language with few existing learning resources, but also represents a step toward a more modern and effective digital ecosystem for teaching and learning ʻ{\={O}}lelo Hawaiʻi."
