ALEKS - Assessment and Learning
   

5.7 Ask a Friend

 

The Ask a Friend feature, if enabled, allows students who are having trouble mastering a topic to know the name of a student in the class who has already mastered that particular topic. The student then has the option of asking the other student for assistance.
The student can choose to participate in this feature via the Options link. A button marked "Ask a Friend" will appear at the bottom of the page in the Learning Mode, if the following conditions are met:
  • The student was unsuccessful in answering the concept.
  • There is another student in the class who has successfully mastered the concept in an assessment and who has also chosen to participate in the "Ask a Friend" feature.
