Technical Details - Aleks
Overview
Students will need to use a computer with the Google Chrome browser installed in order to use the online proctor function. Additionally students will then need the following for taking Official/Proctored MPA#2:
- Webcam and Microphone
- HonorLock Chrome Extension
If the web browser gets stuck or computer crashes while a student is taking the Placement Assessment, simply close the browser, or log out and log back in. ALEKS will resume the Placement Assessment exactly where the student left off, with no loss of the previous answers.
