ALEKS (Assessment and Learning in Knowledge Spaces) is an adaptive learning platform that uses artificial intelligence to identify each student's knowledge state in mathematics and science subjects. Using a sophisticated knowledge mapping system, ALEKS precisely determines what a student knows, doesn't know, and is most ready to learn next through an initial assessment. It creates a personalized learning path that continuously adapts as students progress, focusing instruction on concepts the student is prepared to master while periodically reassessing to ensure knowledge retention. This individualized approach allows students to work efficiently at their own pace, prevents wasted time on already-mastered concepts, and ensures that prerequisite skills are in place before advancing to more complex topics. Comprehensive reports provide detailed insights into individual and class-wide progress, enabling targeted intervention and instructional adjustments for instructors.
