Figure 6.3: QuickTables Class Settings
The QuickTables Class Settings affect all QuickTables use for the given class. After you gain some experience using QuickTables, you may decide to change some of the default settings (Fig. 6.3).
The available options are:
  • The daily time limit for the entire QuickTables session (default 15 minutes).
  • The maximum number of days QuickTables can be used each week (default 3 days).
  • The tutor character.
  • The Game Settings (Sec. 6.1.5).
  • The Retention Assessment Settings (Sec. 6.1.6).
Use of QuickTables should be limited to ensure that students also spend time working in the regular ALEKS class (if applicable). The benefits of using the type of drills that QuickTables provides are greatest when concentrated in relatively short and well-spaced sessions. These short "bursts" of activity help keep the students' concentration sharp.
