Self Assessment - Are you READI?

READI is a web-based tool which assesses your level of readiness for enrolling in distance education courses. It assesses important attributes in online learning, such as self-motivation, time-management skills, self-discipline, persistence, availability of time, and ability to use a laptop, printer, software, and the Internet.

Your scores on this assessment will not prevent you from being able to take online classes, nor will your scores impact your grades in courses you may already be taking. READI is just being provided by your school to help you understand your strengths and weaknesses better as you prepare to learn online. READI is a tool to help you succeed!

After taking the READI assessment, you immediately receive a score and diagnostic interpretation of the results so you can measure the degree to which you have the characteristics needed for success in studying at a distance.
