What is the EdReady platform used in Texas College Bridge?
EdReady is a college readiness system to help students avoid the time and cost of remedial courses in colleges. EdReady platform helps students:
- Determine their readiness to take college-level courses.
- Follow a personalized study path to master specific concepts in math.
- Help manage and achieve academic and employment goals.
EdReady is based around the concept of “goals” - what students want to achieve. Within those goals, students take an assessment or two to understand where they stand in relation to their goal and then pursue a personalized study path based on their diagnostic results – enabling students to study and develop the necessary skills and knowledge to achieve their goals.
EdReady is pre-loaded with study resources to help students learn the concepts on their study paths: students can view the material for any Topic by clicking the corresponding Learn button.
EdReady is not a Learning Management System but is a personalized college readiness platform.

-
How do students submit writing?
The only writing exercise required as part of the Texas College Bridge program is a single Essay assignment. The assignment itself will be completed outside of the EdReady platform: GPISD teachers will need determine how students will complete and submit their work (with guidance from their school and/or district).
The assignment itself is never uploaded or submitted to EdRead. The instructor does need to ensure that the student grade ("Pass" or "Fail") is input into EdReady upon completion of the assignment.
-
My student reached their target score, can they still do work?
Yes! After reaching their target score students can continue to work within EdReady to reach a score of 100. After reaching their target score and a score of 100, they will always be able to go back and view the resources they have covered.
-
How quickly are certificates available in Greenlight?
The student data is pulled from EdReady immediately whenever a student logs into Greenlight, so the student should see their certificate immediately if they have met the course requirements.
If a student has recently met their course requirements, they may need to log into Greenlight again or refresh their browser to see the certificate in their Greenlight Locker.
