ALEKS (Assessment and Learning in Knowledge Spaces) is an online tutoring and assessment program [1] that includes course material in mathematics, [2] chemistry, [3] introductory statistics, [4] and business. [5]
Rather than being based on numerical test scores, ALEKS uses the theory of knowledge spaces to develop a combinatorial understanding of the set of topics a student does or doesn't understand from the answers to its test questions. [6] Based on this assessment determines the topics that the student is ready to learn and allows the student to choose from interactive learning modules for these topics. [7]
ALEKS was initially developed at UC Irvine starting in 1994 with support from a large National Science Foundation grant. [8] The software was granted by UC Irvine's Office of Technology Alliances to ALEKS Corporation under an exclusive, worldwide, perpetual license. [9] In 2013, the ALEKS Corporation was acquired by McGraw-Hill Education. [10]
ALEKS is available for various courses and subjects that cover K-12, higher education, and continuing education, ranging from basic arithmetic and chemistry to pre-calculus and MBA financial accounting preparation. [11]
