Figure 10: Objectives/Ready to Learn Drop-Down Menu
In Learning Mode you can access the Topic Carousel by selecting the
downward arrow tab in the upper left corner of your screen
(Fig. 8). The Carousel lists topics
that you are currently ready to learn, sorted by degree of difficulty or
complexity, with the most accessible first. Each topic has its own card
containing the slice name, the topic name, and attributes (if any)
indicated by icons (Fig. 9). The
Topic Carousel shows three cards at a time and is scrolled using the scroll
bar or the back/forward arrows.
Filters
You can filter topics by selecting Filters in the
upper right corner of the screen
(Fig. 8). The Filters feature lets
you search for topics by name and type.
Switching Topics
You can switch topics at any time by selecting a new topic card in the
Topic Carousel. When you select a card, a sample problem is previewed in
the bottom half of the window. Switching topics mid-way through a topic
will not cause you to lose work; when you return to the topic, ALEKS will
resume where you left off.
Objectives/Ready to Learn Drop-Down Menu
The drop-down menu above the Topic Carousel allows you to see progress in
Objectives (if used in the class) or Ready to Learn pie slices. To see
this drop-down menu, select the Ready to Learn/Objectives drop-down menu in
the upper left (Fig. 10).
Review
You can review previously-learned topics by choosing
Review (rather than Ready to
Learn) in the filter. Note that you will also be prompted to
review when you receive the notification for a new Knowledge Check
(Sec. 5.3).
