SmarterMeasure (formerly READI)

Are you ready for Distance Learning? Find out by completing the SmarterMeasure assessment. It will take you about 35 minutes from start to finish but you may log out and complete it later if necessary. After you login, you will receive an email from SmarterMeasure (formerly known as READI) with a PIN number that will allow you to log back in later or view your results again.

SmarterMeasure is meant to be an interesting experience by which you may learn more about yourself, distance learning, and how to succeed! Your SmarterMeasure score will not prevent you from registering for online classes. It is a tool that will help you assess your strengths and opportunities for growth related to distance learning in 5 areas.
