This is a glowing review of ALEKS (Assessment and LEarning in Knowledge Spaces) from McGraw-Hill Education. The idea is that "it is designed to provide instruction and guidance at whatever level a student may need." Of course it is not intended to replace the teacher (yet) and the reviewer takes pains to say this. On the other hand, "the AI is built on information gained from free responses and not multiple choice questions, so it is able to capture more of the subtlety and specifics of exactly what students know." It felt a bit like a softball review but Michael Karlin asserts "the opinions expressed in this review are my own" and "I was not compensated for writing this review" so I take it at face value.
