In the Learning Mode, feedback is integrated into a sophisticated system
of guidance for the student. Some errors prompt ALEKS to give
specific hints and suggestions (Fig. 5.6).
For example, it may say that a fractional answer needs to be
reduced or that a list of expressions is incomplete. After a correct answer, the system will
ask a limited number of questions for the same concept before judging that
it has been mastered. If an item is missed too many times, however, a new
topic will be suggested. If a concept has been left without mastery being
attained, the system may suggest returning to it after one or two other
topics have been covered.
