What is READI?

READI stands for "Readiness for Education At a Distance Indicator."


READI is a tool which helps you determine your level of readiness for taking online courses.  After you log in (log in information below) you will be asked questions on topics in the areas of how well you can use a computer; how motivated, organized, and self-directed you are, and how you prefer to learn new information. You will even be able to measure your on-screen reading speed and comprehension.

But relax, READI is fun!  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 the HCC Distance Education Department to help you understand your strengths and weaknesses better as you prepare to learn online.  READI is a tool to help you succeed!

After completing READI you will view a web page which will show you your scores in easy to interpret graphs and text.
