Student Readiness for Online Learning

The Readiness for Education At a Distance Indicator (READI) is a web-based
tool designed to serve as an early warning device to identify students who
may be deficient in the skills and attributes necessary for successful
distance learning. READI indicates the degree to which an individual student
possesses attributes, skills and knowledge that contribute to success in
online learning, including: self-motivation; time-management skills;
self-discipline; reading comprehension; persistence; ability to use a
laptop, printer, software and the Internet; and typ-ing speed and accuracy.
READI provides an immediate score and diagnostic interpretation of results
to the student and the instructor 

If you would like your online students to take advantage of the resources
provided through READI, please include this link in your online course
<http://tamuc.readi.info/> http://tamuc.readi.info/.  Students will login
with the following username/password combination: tamuc/online. Students
will be di-rected to create a personal login and be given access to the
assessment.

As instructors you may receive a summative report detailing the individual
READI scores of your students. Results are presented in easy-to-interpret
charts and graphs. The on-screen re-port consists of colorful charts that
indicate the participant's level of READIness in reading speed &
comprehension, technical competency, individual attributes, typing speed &
accuracy, and preferred learning styles. To learn more about how to access
these reports for your stu-dents, please e-mail
<mailto:online at tamu-commerec.edu> online at tamu-commerce.edu.

Student Access of Courses in eCollege:

Students are able to access their course(s) the first day of the term. If
the term began Monday, January 14th, students were able to enter the course
for the first time on Monday, January 14th. If students are enrolled in a
course that is in a flex term which begins February 4th, students will not
be able to en-ter the course until February 4th.

Official Course Rolls-Online Courses:

The official roll for your online course(s) is found in your myLeo. Students
are pulled into your eCollege course by a program run rou-tinely by
Technology Services. Your myLeo roll should match your eCollege roll. Select
the 'course enrollment' button under the 'course admin' tab to see enrolled
and dropped students in your online course. 'Dropped students' are listed at
the end of the roll at this location.
