AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the search for alternatives to ALEKS, a commercial math learning program that the original poster, Michael, found unsatisfactory after a layout change and questions its value. He seeks recommendations for AI-assisted math learning programs that adapt to users' performance, providing ongoing assessments and tailored study guidance. A participant in the thread asks for clarification on what Michael means by "AI-assisted," confirming that he is looking for software that adjusts difficulty based on user performance and tracks progress in various topics. Michael confirms this is indeed what he is looking for, emphasizing the need for a comprehensive learning package.

My Question relates to Commercial Computer- or AI-assisted Math learning programs

Can anyone recommend a competitor to ALEKS (which I used to use but gave up on when they revamped the lay out)
Besides which, I have reason to believe that ALEKS may not be best value in computer-assisted math learning.

Thanks for any tips, suggestions, anecdotes, good jokes and/or references to good software

Hey Michael, (Wave)

Can you elaborate please a bit on what you mean by "AI-assisted" here? Do you mean a program that adapts to how well you are doing and changes the difficulty? Something that keeps track of topics you perform better/worse on and adapts to that? Those kinds of things I assume right?

Yes, Jameson, that is precisely what I had in mind: I want to be "assessed" online, in an ongoing way, and guided into specific areas for focused study on the basis of this assessment, all in the one package (as is the stated goal of ALEKS (https://www.aleks.com/about_aleks)

Thanks kindly for your response,
Michael
