Abstract

Computer technologies may present some potential advantages not present in human instructors. There are currently many effective tutoring systems that have been created. The program chosen for the current evaluation was the Assessment and LEarning in Knowledge Spaces (ALEKS). It uses adaptive programming to best serve the learner’s needs in learning mathematics. This program has been shown to be as effective as other mathematics tutoring systems in direct tests [1].
