Are you ready to take a online course?

Find out by completing the online orientaiton, Readiness for Education at a Distance Indicator (READI).

This web-based tool assesses your likelihood for succeeding in an online learning course. READI indicates the degree to which you possess attributes that contribute to success in online learning, including:

  • Time management skills
  • Self-discipline

  • Availability of time
  • Reading comprehension
  • Ability to use a laptop, printer, software and the Internet

READI uses a sequence of activities to measure the degree to which you possess the traits needed for success in studying at a distance and provides immediate score and diagnostic interpretation of results to you.

READI includes five major assessment components that measure:

  • Reading comprehension
  • Technical competency
  • Individual attributes
  • Preferred learning styles
  • Typing speed and accuracy
