Main Agenda Item   Assessing Student Readiness for Online Learning.  From technology and beyond... An increasing number of educational institutions are adopting an online approach to teaching and learning; however, little regard has been given to the prerequisite personal and technical qualities required for academic achievement and satisfaction within this environment. In recognition of this, researchers have been exploring the design, development and testing of diagnostic tools to assess student readiness for online learning. A 2010 survey revealed that a student's level of readiness were high in computer/Internet efficiency, motivation for learning, and online communication and were low in learner control and self-directed learning.  So what are some guidelines and tools needed to be successful in an online class.
