Concept Application

ALEKS goes beyond multiple choice, asking students to demonstrate chemical concepts.

“ALEKS can help students determine what concepts they need to work on and give them a path to mastering those concepts.”

—David Ziegler, Hannibal LaGrange University

Just-in-Time Resources

ALEKS encourages learning over answering. Explanations are unique to the given problem and show how to solve a problem, deterring students from looking for the answer elsewhere.

“One of the awesome things about ALEKS is that it feels infinite; an almost infinite supply of algorithmic problems. [ALEKS] will substitute a different substance, they’ll change the values, and a student can go in and practice and practice and practice and practice.”

—Rebecca Sansom, Brigham Young University

Comprehensive Coverage

ALEKS's Drawing Tools go beyond basic molecules and structures, supporting Mechanisms, Chairs, Haworth and Fischer projections.

“One of the tools in ALEKS that I think is really great is the drawing tool, when students are drawing Lewis Structures or structures for small molecules. One of the reasons why I think it’s great is because it gives them just enough tools that they need without overwhelming them with too many options.”

—Rebecca Sansom, Brigham Young University

Chairs and Complex Structures

ALEKS allows students to learn drawing techniques for chairs and other complex structures without stamps, so as to not short-circuit learning and to simplify answer entry.
