To ensure the best possible experience of ALEKS for your students, we recommend that you check the computer lab in which ALEKS will be used in advance of the first session. This means installing and testing the plugin on some or (preferably) all of the computers in the lab. If security measures are in effect, you will need the cooperation of the lab administrator to install the plugin. To install and test, simply log on to ALEKS through "Be Our Guest" on each computer or use your instructor login to enter your account. Installation will occur automatically. Following installation, restart the browsers and attempt login again. This time you should access ALEKS.

If the ALEKS plugin is not preinstalled and tested in this way, it will be installed when your students first access the system. This will take away a certain amount of time from their use of the system. Also, if there is some problem in the lab that makes installation difficult, it is far better to catch and resolve it before the students arrive.
