    Chose ALEKS
    I was not able to find any other products on your list, that I feel are really like ALEKS. I think of ALEKS as more of a teaching platform whereas other platforms I have used--MyMathLab, WebAssign, Knewton--are more of a homework platform.

    Chose ALEKS
    Compared to other assistant instructional technology used in my school district, ALEKS is a clear winner. We tried using IXL.com, which is second best after ALEKS, but it did not provide the individualized instruction tailored to each student's learning needed in math that …

    ALEKS does a great job of helping students fill in the gaps in their learning so that they have a solid foundation to move on to higher-level mathematics. It works very well with self-motivated students. It doesn't seem to work as well with less motivated students.

    We did not need much support because installing and running ALEKS on Schoology was relatively easy; the department followed the steps outlined in the user manual on how to install ALEKS and were able to do so quickly. ALEKS help team has been helpful, but overall we did not need their help.
