Figure 4.1: The Answer Editor for
Accounting (Assessment)
Input to the ALEKS system is always in the form of proper
expressions and constructions
. A critical reason for this is to check students'
knowledge accurately.
The general term for the input tools used in ALEKS is the
Answer Editor.
A student beginning to use ALEKS is trained
in how to use the features of the Answer Editor that are relevant to
the subject (Sec. 3.6). Also,
context-sensitive help is available on use of Answer Editor through
the Help button at the top of the student
interface.
In much of what follows, emphasis
is on the Answer Editor for Accounting, including its
facilities for drag-and-drop, pull-down menus, and so forth.
