According to Gordon and Bridglall, the ability to learn is more of
a developed human capacity than a fixed aptitude with which one is
born. They argue that the emergence of academic ability is
associated with exposure to specialized cultures that privilege the
attitudes, knowledge, and skills that schools reward. Children who
are born to and raised in these cultures tend to do well in school,
while those who are not exposed to such cultures tend seldom rise
to high levels of academic achievement. Through a collection of
interesting essays, Affirmative Development: Cultivating Academic
Ability attempts to address how we can deliberately develop
academic ability in those children who are not raised under
conditions that predispose them to develop high levels of academic
ability.

Assessment and LEarning in Knowledge Spaces is a web-based,
artificially intelligent assessment and learning system. ALEKS uses
adaptive questioning to quickly and accurately determine exactly
what a student knows and doesn't know in a course. ALEKS then
instructs the student on the topics she is most ready to learn. As
a student works through a course, ALEKS periodically reassesses the
student to ensure that topics learned are also retained. ALEKS
courses are very complete in their topic coverage and ALEKS avoids
multiple-choice questions. A student who shows a high level of
mastery of an ALEKS course will be successful in the actual course
she is taking.
