EdReady™ is a personalized-learning application that is designed and maintained by the non-profit NROC Project (under the legal name of the Monterey Institute for Technology and Education). EdReady™ will be available free-of-charge for personal use via the public portal. EdReady™ is also available to many students via any a number of institutional versions that have been customized for the specific educational needs and outcomes of these institutions.

Depending on the version you are accessing, EdReady™ can be useful in a number of different ways, including:

• middle- and high-school students looking for personalized pathways for further advancing their math skills.
• high-school students seeking to better understand their current strengths and weaknesses in math, with the option to get recommendations for resources and programs of study to improve, if necessary.
• high-school graduates who want to ensure that they avoid remedial education classes in the colleges they plan to attend.
• students of any age who are unsure of which colleges or employment pathways to pursue.
• adult basic education students (e.g., GED seekers) who want personalized recommendations for educational resources that can improve their math skills.
• adults returning to college who may need to double-check and refresh their math skills so they can immediately begin taking credit-bearing courses.

In all cases, users of EdReady™ can select among one or more areas of study (currently limited to math; English to come in 2015) and test themselves on their readiness for that material. After this initial assessment, EdReady™ will provide a map of your projected strengths and weaknesses as well as information to help you understand your readiness for the curriculum, school, or other program of interest. If needed and desired, EdReady™ will then provide a custom course of study, including a selection of recommended resources, specifically personalized to your needs. By pursuing the course of study, you can improve your math knowledge and get better prepared to achieve your educational aspirations as efficiently and effectively as possible.

EdReady™ can be offered free-of-charge because the NROC Project is supported by its institutional membership (the NROC Network) as well as leading philanthropies such as the Bill and Melinda Gates and William and Flora Hewlett Foundations. The NROC Project mission is to help meet society’s need for access to effective, high-quality educational opportunities in an era of rapid economic, social, and personal change. As such, we strive to provide resources and applications free-of-charge to all people who need them. As an individual, you will never be charged to access the public version of EdReady™.

EdReady™ is one of several inter-related projects and offerings from the NROC Project. You can learn more about the NROC Project, Hippocampus, and the NROC Math resources by visiting the links provided here.
