Welcome to The Reynolds Ripple!

The Reynolds Ripple focuses upon The Ripple Effect, the Quality Enhancement Plan of J. Sargeant Reynolds Community College.  The site's purpose is to nurture our ongoing conversations about online education, teaching and learning, and assessment of student learning. We hope that you will actively join the conversation by following the work that is being done through the QEP and by sharing your own research, thoughts, and insights.


To begin, we invite you to take a look at this introduction to SmarterMeasure, the assessment tool that is currently being used at our College to evaluate student readiness for online learning.  SmarterMeasure provides students, advisors, and faculty with vital information that can help our learners make better decisions about class selection and learning strategies.


Prepared by Meg Foster, Assistant QEP Coordinator, this presentation provides an overview of SmarterMeasure, its various assessment sections, its feedback to students, and its integration with our SIS. Most importantly, this presentation focuses on using SmarterMeasure results in advising conversations and directs you to additional resources available for such advising.

After viewing the presentation, please post comments or questions, or email the QEP Team at rippleeffect@reynolds.edu.
