6 in 10 of your online students arrive with a device problem you can't see.
Test. Resolve. Retain.
Your AI platform or help desk can't catch it; it happens before the first assignment, before there's any behavior to flag. TechReady.io identifies and helps resolve student device issues before day one with a scan that takes under 30 seconds. No install, no PII, and a timestamped record you can put in front of accreditation and federal accountability reviewers.
Built for Institutional Buyers. Deployed for Every Student.
Test browser and technology requirements for Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle, & Brightspace
No Install. No PII. No FERPA Review Backlog.
TechReady runs entirely in the browser — nothing to install on student devices, nothing to host on your infrastructure. Because no student PII reaches us — an external ID is re-identified only on your side of the firewall — TechReady sidesteps the lengthy data-privacy and FERPA review that can stall other tools for months. The architecture that makes TechReady easy to deploy is the same architecture that makes it easy to approve.
LTI and API Integration Included at No Upcharge.
TechReady connects to Blackboard, Canvas, Moodle, and Brightspace via LTI — deploying as a required activity inside any orientation or course workflow. An API feed pushes flagged student data into your student success or early-alert platform at the moment of scan. Both are included in every subscription. No integration project. No separate licensing conversation.
8.5 Years. 131,000+ Scans. Two Granted Patents.
The TechReady dataset spans 19 partner institutions from October 2017 through 2026 — the longest continuous device-readiness dataset in higher education. The core system and method are protected by two granted US patents (Nos. 11,233,842 and 12,160,461). Every scan record is owned entirely by the institution that runs it.
How TechReady.io Works
Once a student starts a test, TechReady.io analyzes more than 30 LMS browser and technology requirements — from upload speed to pop-up blocking. Results are delivered in less than 30 seconds with step-by-step instructions to fix common tech issues.
Organizations that use Techready.io are able to customize tests, which appear on their own branded website, as well as the pass/fail values important to their specific online learning environment.
The TechReady.io dashboard aggregates systemwide test data to give administrators unprecedented insight into the distribution of technologies being used by their students. Student privacy is protected as no personal information is collected — only technical details.
Institutions typically deploy TechReady as a required step in a LMS orientation course, ensuring every incoming student completes a scan before their first class. This produces close to 100% cohort coverage, a dated institutional record for every student, and an API-fed flag in your student success platform before the first behavioral signal exists — before any early-alert tool has data to act on.
From Test to Resolution — With Your Help Desk on Standby
The scan runs in seconds and flags exactly what stands between a student and their first class — an outdated browser, bandwidth below your threshold, a missing webcam. Each flag comes with a plain-language fix the student can follow on the spot, and when self-service isn't enough, a direct line to a person closes the gap. The payoff isn't just a lighter help desk — it's a student who clears the barrier before it becomes a missed first week, and a dated record that it happened.
Now Multiply That Across Every Cohort
Run that test on every incoming student, every term, and a one-off fix becomes a process. Each scan posts a dated record to your admin portal and an early flag to your student-success team — so readiness stops being a help-desk moment and becomes a repeatable step in how you retain a cohort. And that record is where the stakes begin: what it documents is exactly what federal and accreditation reviewers are now watching.
Why This Matters More Now Than It Did a Year Ago.
Under the STATS Earnings Accountability framework (effective July 1, 2026), your program is judged on what your graduates earn — so a student who borrows, hits a technical barrier in week one, and quietly withdraws never appears in that metric at all. But the withdrawal still costs you: Title IV dollars borrowed with no credential earned, a mark against the retention and completion outcomes your accreditor reviews, and one fewer graduate in your program to prove earnings. The student the earnings rule never sees is the one you could most easily have kept.
TechReady is the earliest documented intervention point in the student lifecycle. It runs inside your LMS at onboarding — before a student has generated any behavior for your analytics or early-alert tools to read, and before a device problem becomes a help-desk ticket. Those systems react once a student is already struggling; TechReady acts first.
Three channels. One intervention point.
- STATS Earnings Accountability — if a program’s graduates don’t earn enough, it can lose federal student aid
- 50% Administrative-Capability Standard — too much aid in low-earning programs puts the whole institution’s eligibility at risk
- Accreditation overhaul — outcomes-based review increasingly looks for the evidence behind your retention numbers, not just the numbers
