Are you READI?

Are you prepared to take online courses at CSM? READI (Readiness for Education at a Distance Indicator) is a tool that helps you determine your level of readiness for taking online courses. You will be asked questions on topics, such as "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 also 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 taking online courses.  Moreover, your scores do not impact your grades in courses you may currently be taking.  READI is being provided by CSM to help you understand your strengths and weaknesses better as you prepare to learn online. READI is a tool to help you succeed!

We encourage you to take a few minutes and complete the READI survey at http://csmd.readi.info
