SINGAPORE, Aug. 19, 2020 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

-- More than 3,000 Students at FEU High School to Use ALEKS While Studying

Remotely Due to COVID-19

Far Eastern University (FEU) in Manilla, Philippines has chosen McGraw Hill's

ALEKS adaptive learning software for more than 3,000 students in math and

business courses at FEU High School in Academic Year 2020-2021. The prestigious

university chose ALEKS to make virtual learning more effective and engaging

with courses delivered all online this school year due to COVID-19.

Students in General Mathematics and Fundamentals of Accounting, Business and

Management 1 and 2 will use ALEKS, a digital platform that uses artificial

intelligence to provide personalized learning pathways for learners. The

decision to adopt ALEKS enhances the university's position as a steadfast

provider of accessible, quality future-ready learning.

"As FEU gears up for the opening of classes in August, we need a trusted

partner that can support and level up our current learning management system,"

said Dr. Michael Alba, President of FEU. "With the help of McGraw Hill, one of

the largest learning resource publishers and most awarded instructional

solutions today, we strive to make virtual learning engaging and more

student-oriented."

For more than 20 years, McGraw Hill ALEKS has helped educators in math and

chemistry to quickly and accurately zero in on exactly which topics students

understand and which topics they need help with, empowering teachers to deliver

the most effective instruction possible. Built on the theory of "knowledge

spaces" from cognitive science, ALEKS (Assessment and LEarning in Knowledge

Spaces) uses artificial intelligence to create personalized and dynamic

learning paths for K-20 students based on their unique needs. To date, ALEKS

has served more than 20 million students at thousands of K-12 schools, colleges

and universities throughout the world.

"We're thrilled to continue our partnership with Far Eastern University this

academic year and that they're choosing ALEKS as part of the university's

efforts to unlock the potential of their students," said Joseph Chong, Managing

Director of McGraw Hill Asia. "Facing the daunting challenge of providing

quality learning experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic, the university has

shown its commitment to putting students first through innovative approaches to

online learning and digital instruction."

In addition to using ALEKS for math and business courses, FEU schools will also

leverage McGraw Hill's Connect and Redbird Math digital programs to increase

student success. McGraw Hill's support for FEU is the latest example of the

learning science company's many partnerships with leading institutions around

the world who are undergoing digital transformations.
