6.3.7 Display Options for ALEKS Pie Report
Figure 6.13: Student Mastery
Instructors can use the Show drop-down menu to
filter the report by Current Progress,
Most Recent Knowledge Check, or Initial
Knowledge Check.
-
In the Current Progress view, the main Ready to Learn
Topics for the entire pie are listed to the right of the pie.
-
In the Most Recent Knowledge Check view, the main Topics
Lost in Recent Knowledge Check for the entire pie are listed. This shows data
based on the most recent knowledge check results.
-
In the Initial Knowledge Check view, the main Topics
Mastered in Initial Knowledge Check for the entire pie are listed.
These views of student results may be filtered by slice, by selecting a
slice from the pie. Clicking on a pie slice will make that slice "sticky,"
so that the topics for this slice are displayed and do not change. The
average class mastery for this slice is also displayed. Hovering over a
slice with the mouse will display the name of that slice.
Topics with the highest numbers of students Ready To
Learn are the ones most ready for courseroom presentation.
Trying to teach topics with low numbers in this display is more likely to
produce boredom and frustration, because most students either have learned
the topics already or are not yet ready to learn them.
Below the pie the results are broken down further by ALEKS Table of
Contents (slice), objectives (when in use), or by any applicable standards.
These sections can be broken down further, and instances of problems may be
seen by clicking on individual topic links. A new instance of the problem
type will be generated each time you click on the topic link.

view:
