Are You Ready for an Online Course?

Try out SmarterMeasure, our distance education readiness assessment, and check to see if you are ready for a distance education course.

This tool is recommended for all prospective DE students, and is required of students wanting to enroll in EDUC 1300, LEAD 1370, and certain other developmental classes. It tests technical knowledge and competency, reading comprehension, and typing skills.

What Information Does SmarterMeasure Include?

This assessment will give you detailed information about:

Your readiness to begin an online or hybrid course.
Your learning style, or how you learn. Knowing your learning style or styles can enable you to adapt your study strategies to your learning style.
Your technical skills as they apply to taking a distance class. Don't worry if you lack some technical skills; we have tutorials to help you get your skills where they need to be.
