A.6.6 ALEKS Inbox

 

The Inbox allows you to send messages to your instructor if you need assistance with a topic or problem in ALEKS. To compose a message, click "Compose." There is an option to include mathematical notation in your messages.
To include mathematical notation and illustrations:
  1. Click the "math" symbol at the right end of the tool bar. This switches you to the "Enhanced message editor," with a robust set of math input tools.
  2. Click on the "Graphs" tab for graphing tools, or on "Algebra," "Trig," "Matrix," or "Stat" for symbolism specific to these areas.
While working in the Learning Mode, you can send a specific problem type to your instructor for assistance. This will include a link in the message, showing a screenshot of the practice problem that you see on your screen.
To attach a specific problem, make sure the practice problem is still on the screen, then:
  1. Click on the "Inbox" link. This will take you into the ALEKS Message Center.
  2. Click on the "Compose" button.
  3. Below the body message section, check the box next to "Attach Page."
  4. Click on the "Send" button to send the message.
You also have an option to include attachments in your messages. The attachments can be up to 2MB in size.
