ALEKS information for use in the classroom
What is ALEKS?
Assessment and Learning in Knowledge Spaces (ALEKS) is a web-based, artificially intelligent assessment and learning system. ALEKS uses adaptive questioning to quickly and accurately determine what a student knows, doesn’t know, and is ready to learn. ALEKS avoids multiple-choice questions, and instead uses input tools where you type or graph your answer.

Do I need to set up another ALEKS account if I already have one for placement?
Yes, you will need different accounts for placement and classroom use. Unfortunately, these are different products and vary greatly in their setup. Please create a different account for classroom use.
If you have an account from an ALC or ALM class, you do not need to create a new account. You can add a new class using the course code provided by your instructor.
