The wait is over!  The results are in and the READI 2009 Usage Survey has been released! In the spring of each year eLearningToolBox.com surveys the READI administrators to identify good practices in the usage of READI.  The report shows ways our client schools are using and benefitting from READI.  Here are some highlights of the report:

• READI is used by a variety of reporting institutions ranging in size from 100 online students to over 25,000 online students. 
• The single most common way that schools provide access to READI is through an orientation course.  The second most common way is making READI available on the school’s website.
• Most schools provide READI as an option to students, but about 30% of schools do require that students take READI.
• Most schools make READI available to all students, but about 30% make it available only to distance education students.
• About 40% of schools go over the READI scores one-to-one with students. 
• READI was strongly perceived as about the same or less expensive than other software used in distance learning programs.
• 94% of READI administrators stated that they would be willing to serve as a reference for the product
• Strong interests was reported in HELP – Helping ELearners Prepare.  HELP is a student success resource that we are crafting to follow the READI assessment.
