What is ALEKS?

Assessment and Learning in Knowledge Spaces is a Web-based, artificially intelligent assessment and learning system. ALEKS uses adaptive questioning to quickly and accurately determine what a student knows, doesn't know, and is ready to learn.  ALEKS avoids multiple choice questions, and instead uses input tools where you type or graph your answer.

What do I need to know if my Instructor is using ALEKS?

• Your instructor will provide you with a course code which includes a free trial period of ALEKS.
• After the free trial period ends, you will have to purchase an ALEKS access code. An access code may be purchased at any PCC bookstore or directly within ALEKS.  
• The cost to use ALEKS is less than the cost of purchasing a new textbook from the bookstore.
