Input to the ALEKS system is always in the form of proper
expressions and constructions
. A critical reason for this is to check students'
knowledge accurately.
The general term for the input tools used in ALEKS is the "Answer
Editor."
A student beginning to use ALEKS is trained
in how to use the features of the Answer Editor that are relevant to
the subject (Sec. 3.8).
In much of what follows in
the tutorial, emphasis is on the "Answer Editor for Accounting,"
including its facilities for drag-and-drop, pull-down menus, and so forth.
