Read information about ALEKS Corporation's Leadership Team.
Led by Dr. Jean-Claude Falmagne, ALEKS assessment and learning technologies were originally developed at the University of California, Irvine (UCI), with major funding from the National Science Foundation. Dr. Falmagne is an internationally renowned researcher in Mathematical Cognitive Psychology, and one of the two developers of Knowledge Space Theory, a field of research that serves as the foundation of the ALEKS artificial intelligence and assessment and learning technologies.

In 1993, Dr. Falmagne assembled a team of software engineers, mathematicians, and cognitive scientists at UCI. Dr. Falmagne's team at UCI created the core of ALEKS and in 1997, ALEKS Corporation and the University of California entered into an exclusive, permanent, worldwide license. ALEKS began regular business operations in 1999, making ALEKS available in the two-year college math market in the United States.
Over the next fourteen years, ALEKS Corporation enhanced and expanded the ALEKS software and system, substantially increasing its product offerings to include numerous courses for both K-12 and Higher Education. In 2013, ALEKS Corporation merged with McGraw Hill, taking advantage of a shared vision for education, and setting the stage for even more rapid growth and extended availability of ALEKS learning and assessment technologies.
