What is the ALEKS Learning Path?

In the ALEKS Learning Path, students practice and learn remaining topics in the course. Topics students are Ready to Learn are automatically loaded into the Learning Path and sorted easiest to hardest.  If students are working in a class with Modules the Learning Path will prioritize graded Goal topics associated with the current Module as well as any required learning (or prerequisite) topics needed to unlock said Goal topics.  For a given topic, once students consistently and correctly answer several questions ALEKS considers this topic Learned and adds it to the students’ ALEKS Pie as well as to their Learned category in the Progress bar. Students then move to the next topic in the Learning Path.
 
As students practice topics in the Learning Path, ALEKS will provide step-by-step explanations for each question, including definitions of key terms. Students also receive immediate feedback for each answer they submit. A progress indicator (located in the upper-right corner) will display progress within the topic.
 
If students are not able to learn a topic after repeated attempts, ALEKS will provide a new topic to work on. At any time, students can switch to a different topic by selecting the pull-down arrow to bring down the Topic Carousel. Students will not lose any work in partially-learned topics by doing this.
