Tools for Scaling your Distance Learning Program - FREE Webinar
In 2007, National University College (NUC) located in San Juan, Puerto Rico began offering online courses. The distance education department was formed in 2009, offering its first online degree pro-gram. In the process, NUC felt it was essential to have a diagnostic tool that would provide both the potential online student and its distance education department with feedback regarding the basic skills required to be a successful online student. Although students were offered a self evaluation questionnaire about their readiness for online learning, this self assessment provided no real student data, and could not possibly diagnose student readiness for online learning.
NUC implemented SmarterMeasure in early 2009, and agree that it is a crucial piece of the student information puzzle. Using SmarterMeasure to make more informed decisions about one's future in online classes drives a stronger success rate and connects the administrator to the student.

In late 2009, Dr. Martha A. Smith, president of Anne Arundel Community College, announced plans to help its students be more successful in reaching their educational goals. Part of that plan consisted of implementing a first-semester experience that included SmarterMeasure Learning Readiness Indicator. The Virtual Campus at Anne Arundel uses SmarterMeasure to help their students make an informed decision if online education is right for them. In addition, the learning style results are used to help students understand how they can learn best using their preferred learning style. To read the complete case study click here.

While the political power hangs in the balance, as the economy see-saws and the housing market flip flops, when education budgets are being slashed, as unemployment stabilizes, one thing remains...if you keep doing what you've always done, then you'll keep getting what you've always gotten. It's time to look at things differently in 2010.
