Alcumus

What Alcumus is

Alcumus is a free web-based adaptive learning system that adjusts problems and lessons to student performance. It aligns with AoPS introductory online courses and the Introduction series of textbooks, and anyone can use it, including people who are not AoPS students. The system selects practice based on earlier answers and topic level, then marks topics as passed or mastered according to performance. Students receive the correct answer and a solution after answering correctly, giving up, or making two incorrect attempts. Alcumus can return review problems from topics already passed, and an incorrect review answer may make a topic unpassed again. There is no fixed number of problems required within a topic. Teacher Tools let instructors and parents monitor progress. AoPS users keep access after a course ends, with progress saved. Guided lessons, gamified practice and parent reporting are included, and technical questions are directed to the Alcumus Forum.
