ALEKS is an adaptive learning and assessment system, with courses covering subjects such as math, chemistry, and statistics. In this work, we focus on the ALEKS math courses, which cover a wide range of content starting at second grade math and continuing through college-level precalculus. To help instructors and students navigate this content,…

Rapid automatized naming (RAN) is a powerful predictor of reading fluency, and many digitized dyslexia screeners include RAN as an essential component. However, the validity of digitized RAN has not been established. Using a sample of 174 second-graders, this study tested (1) the comparability between paper and digitized versions of RAN and (2)…
