Lectures are usually delivered to a heterogeneous group of students coming from all walks of life whereas the assessment is conducted at a homogenous level where all students get a similar set of questions and are assessed based on the same parameters. But the good part is that the instructors have control over this disparity which can be tactfully managed by them. But the one thing that the instructors do not have control over is the learning - it’s an individualised experience of each student. Therefore, the biggest challenge for instructors is deciding how best to get their students to learn.
The instructors play a vital role in teaching, and they are the subject matter experts. But many times, instructors have shown interest in using some tool that can supplement their teaching material and facilitate a good learning experience for the students. And this is where ALEKS®, a digital learning and assessment platform, comes into the picture. It can not only address a major challenge of the instructors by providing a personalised learning experience to the students but also help them create "A classroom of one".
