ALEKS

ALEKS is an artificially intelligent learning and assessment system used by over 25 million students for Math, Chemistry, Statistics, and Accounting. After quickly and accurately determining each student’s precise knowledge of a subject, ALEKS helps them work on the topics they are ready to learn. ALEKS intelligence, content, and software are unique and proprietary; they have been developed together and work in unison. ALEKS digital content provides comprehensive course coverage.

Artificial intelligence targets gaps in individual student school knowledge 
Course management tools: Gradebook, Course Calendar, and e-Homework with worked examples  
Automatically graded assignments: e-Homework, tests, and other assessments
Automated reports monitor student and course progress
