Foundations consists of adaptive online assessments and online
multimedia instructional material. Foundations was developed with the Tuck School of
Business at Dartmouth College and the Graduate School of Business at Stanford University
to ensure students have a baseline set of prerequisite skills to start an MBA program. The
modules can also be used to ensure students have the prerequisite skills to start the
junior year of a Bachelor's program in business.
There are five Foundations modules:
- Spreadsheets
- Quantitative Skills
- Probability and Statistics
- Accounting
- Financial Economics
For each module, schools select the skills the want assessed, the passing fraction of skills,
and logos and messaging for the students before and after the assessment. Students then
take an online adaptive assessment of those skills. A rich set of online multimedia instructional
material
is linked to the assessments so that students can quickly focus on the skills they were assessed
as lacking without wasting time on other material covering what they already know. After reviewing
the instructional material, students can retake the assessment covering only the skills they were
previously assessed as lacking. Students iterate on this cycle until they demonstration
competency as defined by the institution.
At any time, staff can view or download the results of the assessments. Students can
purchase a module online for $60.
Volume discounts are available for schools that
require one or more modules.
Faculty and staff at educational institutions can order a free trial account by e-mailing a
request to Responsive Learning Technologies at rlt-info@responsive.net.
