Description

The Calculus landscape is changing — and many departments are looking for a more connected, modern approach.

Take a look at ALEKS for Calculus, where we’ll highlight how our Calculus I experience has evolved and introduce the next phase of our Calculus content with Calculus II. The following session offers a look at how ALEKS is responding to ongoing challenges in student readiness, engagement, and conceptual understanding.

We’ll share how ALEKS for Calculus I brings together adaptive learning, an integrated eBook, and instructor-facing resources to support students throughout the course — and then look ahead as we begin expanding that experience into Calculus II.

In this video, you will learn about: 

  • The Calculus I Experience Today — A look at how ALEKS supports conceptual learning and course alignment.

  • Integrated Content & Resources — How the eBook and built-in tools are designed to support students and instructors.

  • Conceptual Progression — How ALEKS emphasizes understanding over memorization across topics.

  • What’s Emerging in Calculus II — An introduction to new Calc II content and how it fits into the broader vision. 

As the market continues to demand meaningful change, ALEKS for Calculus is taking a thoughtful, student-centered approach — connecting courses and building momentum from Calc I into what comes next.
