Q. What causes a student to be directed to a Progress Knowledge Check?
A. When a student successfully completes a topic, they are taken to the Topic Rewards Page, and the Progress Knowledge Check is activated. Leaving the Topic Rewards Page still results in them being redirected to the Progress Knowledge Check until it is completed.


Q. Do students receive a Progress Knowledge Check after every topic they successfully complete?
A. Only if they are completing the topic for the first time. When students successfully complete a topic for the first time, they are given a Progress Knowledge Check with 1-2 questions.


Q. Do students have to take the Progress Knowledge Checks? Is there a way for teachers to turn off or cancel Progress Knowledge Checks?
A. Yes, students have to take Progress Knowledge Checks. No. The teacher cannot turn off or cancel Progress Knowledge Checks.


Q. Does the teacher have the option to reactivate a specific Progress Knowledge Check or add an additional Progress Knowledge Check for students?
A. No. Students automatically receive a Progress Knowledge Check each time they successfully complete a new topic.


Q. What is the workflow when the student answers the first question on the Progress Knowledge Check incorrectly and then answers the second question correctly?
A. If the question is from a topic the student has not yet learned, then the knowledge check ends after the student answers the question, whether they answered the question correctly or incorrectly. If the topic being assessed is one the student has already learned, the student may be provided with a hint after an incorrect answer and will be allowed to retry. After the retry, they may receive a second question on the same topic if the algorithm determines further assessment is necessary.


Q. Are students given an Initial Knowledge Check in ALEKS Adventure?
A. Yes, students receive an Initial Knowledge Check when they first log into ALEKS Adventure, which may be a maximum of 15 questions. For more information on the Initial Knowledge Check, refer to the Initial Knowledge Check section of the ALEKS Adventure Knowledge Checks page.


Q. How do students input their answers to the questions in the Fact Fluency game and the topic questions?
A. Students may type in the answer using their keyboard, use keyboard navigation to navigate through the questions, or select the numbers from the button bar at the bottom of the page.


Q. What kind of questions are the students given in the Fact Fluency game? Do the questions increase in difficulty?
A. Yes, the questions gradually become more difficult. Students start with adding single-digit numbers, and as they play the game more times, they are eventually given questions that have double-digit numbers and/or subtraction.


Q. Is there a way for teachers to choose the topics that appear in the Fact Fluency game?
A. No. There is no control mechanism in the Teacher Module to choose the facts in the game. The questions are algorithmically chosen and start with the easiest, such as simple addition.


Q. Are there other Fact Fluency games that students can play in ALEKS Adventure aside from Digit’s Super Speedboats?
A. Not at this time. Additional game options are being explored for potential future releases.
