The ALEKS Timeline is a visual tool that graphs your progress and
growth over time. It helps you understand how to achieve learning goals
and reach milestones. You can use the timeline to view what you worked on
in the past, what's ahead, and when topics are due next so you can plan
your class accordingly. As you learn or lose topics, the timeline is
updated with real-time information.
Some key points about the timeline:
The timeline is intended to show information at a macro level. You can
select points on the graph to access information. For example, the blue
goal topic marker is a projection to show what you are working towards
next.
The orange marker displays your progress today, and the number of topics
you have left to reach the next goal on the timeline. It also shows what
was completed on that day.
The area below the timeline contains assignments created by the instructor,
showing when the assignments start and end. You can select the assignment
name to view detailed information. When there are multiple assignments
available, they are stacked and prioritized by due dates.
You can select the Timeline Detail button to see
a more detailed full-screen view and a longer time range than what is
displayed on the Home page. You can filter the timeline by day, week,
or month.
