Individual Readiness Assurance Test (IRAT)

Typical TBL sessions begin with an Individual Readiness Assurance Test (“IRAT”) which tests how well students have understood the pre-work individually. 

Comprehensively benefitting your organisation

Learners can access InteDashboard™ via any web-enabled laptop, tablet or smartphone. After focus groups with medical students, we added a highly visible clock, completion bar, indications for unanswered questions and the ability to zoom in on images in question stems and answer choices.

Educators can use InteDashboard™ to monitor the IRAT in real-time. Over 80% of educators reported improved learning outcomes using our testing software for the IRAT.
