Content and Objectives
For this summer course, an existing commercial product for online learning is used: ALEKS. ALEKS is one, maybe the, most advanced tool in learning mathematics, statistics, and some other science oriented subject. ALEKS is unique in its broad content, and its clever way of measuring students’ knowledge: adaptive testing. ALEKS covers most of a typical American high school mathematics / statistics program, subdivided into 200 lessons/items. Using its adaptive testing method, ALEKS will first discover what lessons are already mastered and which not. Once the knowledge profile is determined, students get the opportunity to learn new lessons in a stepwise fashion. The course will be followed on an individual basis. In case necessary, participants can always contact supporting staff for additional guidance and / or technical questions.
