Students enter the Learning Mode by clicking on one of the topics they are ready to learn. If at all possible, the students should be given sufficient time in their first ALEKS session to use the Learning Mode and begin to add concepts to their pie. If they have this experience, their interest in using ALEKS will be more favorable. You should also be present to answer questions regarding the Learning Mode and to help your students familiarize themselves with its varied features. This is particularly important for when they will have to use ALEKS unsupervised.
