hi this video will help you understand
the open pie mode and ALEKS the open pie
mode occurs when ALEKS class has been set
up with objectives these objectives are
groups of topics that follow the order
of your textbook or curriculum and are
presented to students as assignments
they appear here in the working towards
section are created by the instructor
and will help pace student learning to
make sure that they don't fall behind
the timeline view will help a student
organizer study time by displaying the
objective due date and how much work is
left to do
when a student is working in an
objective they will only see the ready
to learn topics within that objective
all other topics will be locked which
helps keeps the student focused on the
current assignment
if the student completes the objective
early or before the due date then the
student will go into open pie mode which
allows him or her to work on any ready
to learn topic in the course
the open pie mode appears in the working
towards section it will be available
until the next objective begins which in
this case is thursday
going into open pie mode gives students
access to all of the ready to learn
topics in the course
they can work on topics from previous
objectives in case there is any material
that they'd like to review but they can
also get ahead and try topics from
future objectives
let's say that instead of working in
open pie mode a student would rather move on
immediately into the next objective to
do this they can simply select the next
objective from this drop-down menu in
this case it would be chapter 2
this will then filter the carousel to
only show ready to learn topics for that
objective
once open pie mode ends the student will
automatically move into the next
objective for the course and will only
see ready to learn topics for that
objective if they finish that objective
early before the due date again
well once again go into open pie mode if
you have any questions or issues please
