In the Learning Mode feedback is integrated into a sophisticated system
of guidance for the student. Some errors prompt ALEKS to give
specific hints and suggestions (Fig. 5.6).
For example, it may say that one of the journal entries is
incomplete. After a correct answer, the system will ask a limited
number of questions for the same concept before judging that it has been
mastered. If an item is missed too many times, however, a new topic will
be suggested. If a concept has been left without mastery being attained,
the system may suggest returning to it after one or two other
topics have been covered.
