Summer Online Learning Experience

Capabilities

The Advanced Distributed Learning Memphis Intelligent Tutoring Center at the University of Memphis is offering a unique and web-based tutorial system to college students and third-graders through 12th-graders this summer.

The SOLE (Summer Online Learning Experience) Program links students with ALEKS (Assessment Learning in Knowledge Spaces). ALEKS is a sophisticated online tutorial system that assesses each student’s knowledge and skill level and then provides them with an interactive, individualized and self-paced tutoring system.

The program runs for June, July and August and costs $36 for three months, which includes unlimited use of the ALEKS program for those who register by May 31. A late registration fee is included after that date. The last registration day is June 29.

College students can register for advanced mathematical concepts and topics, such as statistics, while grade-school children can sign up for tutoring in mathematics geared to improve performance on standardized statewide exams. Previous studies conducted with ALEKS show that students who interact with ALEKS score higher on statewide-standardized exams, such as the Tennessee Comprehensive Assessment Program.

The ADL-CITSRD is located in the FedEx Institute of Technology (FIT) on the campus of the University of Memphis. Researchers associated with the center are faculty, researchers, post-doctoral fellows, and advanced graduate students in the Institute for Intelligent Systems (IIS). The center researchers have extensive experience in research, development, and evaluation of advanced learning environments.
