ALEKS K-12 Course Products Now Integrated with the Minnesota State Standards

TUSTIN, Calif. --(Business Wire)-- ALEKS Corporation, a leading provider of K-12, Higher Education, and consumer Web-based assessment and learning solutions for mathematics, announced today that its K-12 course products are now integrated with the Minnesota state standards. The integrated course products for grades 3-8 include Mathematics LV 3, 4, 5, and 6; Middle School Math 1, 2 and 3; and Pre-Algebra. ALEKS course products offer individualized instruction and feature the following:

-- ALEKS Artificial Intelligence - targets gaps in individual student knowledge through adaptive assessment and learning;

-- Comprehensive & Customizable Curriculum - aligns to Minnesota state standards and can be easily integrated with syllabi or textbooks;

-- Robust Student Progress Reports - monitor student, class, school and district progress toward Minnesota state standards in grades 3-8;

-- Fully Bilingual Content - English and Spanish for grades 3-9;

-- Unlimited Online Access - PC & MAC compatible from virtually any computer with Internet access.

The standards integration enables detailed reporting that allows teachers and administrators a precise view of every student's knowledge at any time. Reports can be viewed for a student, class, school, or district and let teachers and administrators track progress toward fulfillment of state standards.

ALEKS developed the new state standards integration in order to address the growing demand for accountability and measurable success in K-12 education. "The new course products integrated with state standards allow teachers to better meet the unique learning needs of each student," said Wil Lampros, President of ALEKS Corporation. "With ALEKS, teachers are able to provide individualized instruction to every student rather than teaching to the middle. This creates an engaging learning environment that propels students toward success. With the variety of reports offered by ALEKS, teachers and administrators always have an accurate picture of student progress toward state standards and can use ALEKS to target gaps in student math skills," he added.

Fundamentally different from other educational software, ALEKS (Assessment and LEarning in Knowledge Spaces) uses an artificial intelligence engine that assesses each student individually and continuously. Through adaptive questioning, ALEKS accurately assesses a student's knowledge and then delivers targeted instruction on the exact topics a student is most ready to learn. As the student learns new topics, ALEKS constantly updates its map of the student's knowledge. This individualized instruction builds tremendous learning momentum.

The new K-12 ALEKS course products integrated with the Minnesota state standards are ready for immediate use as a core curriculum course product or as a supplement. They can also be used for remediation, intervention, or in after school programs.

  • Seven Best Practices for Speech Analytics: Speech analytics is valuable for identifying issues in the contact center. However, limiting its use to the contact center only considers a portion of all customer interactions and subsequently only reveals a small part of the voice of the customer. This paper discusses how organizations can optimize their Speech Analytics implementation strategy to realize the promise of this exciting technology.
  • Understanding the Voice of the Customer: Today's contact centers involve a sea of information that must be captured, processed, and distributed on a daily basis. Effective use of this information enables companies to remain competitive in an increasingly aggressive and customer centric marketplace. An overwhelming percentage of the information that circulates in a contact center's audio recordings, documents, web pages, and emails is unstructured in that it resides outside of a normal structured database and cannot be managed efficiently. These unstructured items contain valuable information, yet this information historically has been difficult to organize, categorize, and access.
