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.
