ALEKS (Assessment and Learning in Knowledge Spaces) is an Internet based tutoring and assessment program that includes course material in mathematics, chemistry, introductory statistics, and business

Rather than being based on numerical test scores, ALEKS uses the theory of knowledge spaces to develop a combinatorial understanding of the set of topics a student does or doesn’t understand from the answers to its test questions. Based on this assessment, it determines the topics that the student is ready to learn and allows the student to choose from interactive learning modules for these topics.
