ALEKS – Adaptive Learning & Assessment for Math, Chemistry, Statistics & More

With ALEKS, students achieve mastery

more than 90% of the time.

ALEKS is the most effective adaptive learning program.

ALEKS is a research-based, online learning program that offers course products for Math, Chemistry, Statistics, and more. Rooted in 20 years of research and analytics, ALEKS is a proven, online learning platform that helps educators and parents understand each student's knowledge and learning progress in depth, and provides the individual support required for every student to achieve mastery.

How ALEKS Works

Constantly adapting to update each student’s knowledge state, ALEKS guides students to precisely what they are ready to learn at all times.

ALEKS Adapts to Each Student

ALEKS helps students master course topics through a continuous cycle of mastery, knowledge retention, and positive feedback. Each student begins a new course with a unique set of knowledge and prerequisite gaps to fill. By determining the student's baseline of knowledge, ALEKS creates an individual and dynamic path to success where students learn and then master topics. ALEKS has helped over 25,000,000 students and counting.

ALEKS is a personalized way for
students to learn at their own pace.

Award Winning Adaptive Learning

ALEKS has been recognized as an exceptional instructional solution, most recently with two 2020 CODiE awards.

Research Behind ALEKS

ALEKS was developed at the University of California by cognitive scientists, software engineers, mathematicians, and educators. Using ground-breaking research in Knowledge Space Theory, these pioneers in adaptive machine learning designed an efficient way to determine students’ precise knowledge and provide them with a personalized, meaningful learning experience. ALEKS development was supported by major funding from the National Science Foundation.

Know Each Student Better

ALEKS has patented a machine learning technology called ALEKS Insights (U. S. Patent No. 10,713,965) to promptly alert educators to at risk students. ALEKS Insights provides email notification to instructors calling attention to students (a) who are not succeeding, (b) who cease succeeding, (c) who are excessively procrastinating, or (d) who are learning unrealistically fast. These formative insights enable instructors to take timely action to help the students that need it the most.
