Are You Ready for Online Learning?
Readiness for Education at a Distance Indicator (READI)


Find out by completing the READI assessment. It will take you about 30 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 READI with a READI PIN number that will allow you to log back in later or view your results again. Your READI score will not prevent you from registering for online classes. It is a tool that will help you assess your strengths and weaknesses related to distance learning in 5 areas.

 

  1. Individual Attributes – procrastination, time management, willingness to ask for help, academic attributes
  2. Learning Styles – what is your predominant learning style?
  3. Technical Competency, Skills, and Knowledge
  4. On-Screen Reading Rate and Comprehension
  5. Typing Speed and Accuracy

You will receive a full color report immediately following the completion of all areas of READI. It also provides some remedial tools to help you strengthen your weaknesses.

 


  • Username = ncccdl (Select from the drop down arrow list)
  • Password = student

  • Save the resulting PDF file after you have submitted the assessment as you may need to submit it to an instructor
