"In the next decade, STEM jobs are projected to grow at more than two times the rate of jobs overall, but at this point there are more openings for STEM jobs than there are qualified individuals to fill them-and a significant barrier to students' pursuit of STEM degrees is a lack of preparation when transitioning from high school to college," said James Johnson, managing director, EdTech Breakthrough. ALEKS is purposefully designed to help math and chemistry educators identify instructional gaps, personalize learning paths, and track the progress of student learning and mastery.

The web-based, artificially intelligent assessment and learning system for K–12 and Higher Education uses adaptive questioning to quickly and accurately determine exactly what topics a student knows and doesn't know in a course.

ALEKS gives instructors the flexibility to assign homework, share curated content such as videos, review student progress and provide support anytime, anywhere. McGraw Hill's online learning solution ALEKS® (Assessment and Learning in Knowledge Spaces) is a course assistant that helps forge constructive learning paths for students-blending personalized modules with instructor-driven assignments to ensure every student always has another block to build on their knowledge base. The annual awards program is conducted by EdTech Breakthrough a leading market intelligence organization that recognizes the top companies and solutions in the global educational technology market.
