The Inbox allows the student to send messages to the instructor requesting
assistance with a topic in ALEKS, help with a specific problem, or for other
purposes. The student can compose a message by clicking on "Compose."
It is possible to include mathematical notation and illustrations in
the message as follows:
Click the "math" symbol at the right end of the tool bar. This will
switch the user into the "Enhanced message editor," with its robust
set of math input tools.
Click the "Graphs" tab for graphing tools, or on "Algebra," "Trig,"
"Matrix," or "Stat" for symbolism specific to these areas.
While working in the Learning Mode, the student can send a specific
problem type they are working on to their instructor. This message
will contain a link to a screenshot of the practice problem. With the
practice problem on the screen, the specific problem may be attached to
the email as follows:
Click on the "Inbox" link. This will take you into the ALEKS
Message Center.
Click on the "Compose" button.
Below the body message section, check the box next to "Attach Page."
Click on the "Send" button to send the message.
It is possible to include attachments up to 2MB in size (Sec. 6.1.4). It is also possible to send messages directly to ALEKS
Corporation. Click on "Done" to return to the Learning Mode.
