I've just about taken all the courses I can take through SL. I'm interested in study.com, Introduction to Business (SL's doesn't transfer to WGU). Anyone take Intro to Bus with them?

Well from what I have researched they are all video based, so no textbook but transcripts are available. Unlike SL the grade is the final, the required quizzes are for student benefit but not graded.
Also, it's 2 finals per month as part of their program, I don't see any options for faster (if you have the time to devote to it)

I've read good things about them on this forum. If you're going to take that course, you may as well take another one, since you're paying for 2 anyway. Is there anything else you can use from them towards your degree?

Study.com is different than SL. Each course is broken down into chapters. Each chapter is broken down into lessons. The amount of lessons per chapter varies from a few to a lot depending on the course subject. Each lesson consist of a video to watch that is around five minutes, the transcript of that video and a short 5-10 question quiz. Each chapter has an end of chapter quiz that uses the same questions from the chapter lessons. To get their ACE credit, you have to sign up for their $200 subscription. Memorize every key word, event, etc, from the video/transcript then take the final. The way to take the final is easy to set up. Like SL's proctor service you use a web cam to record your ID and testing area. Once everything is okay you can then take the final. The final is closed book and around 100 questions and can be scheduled at any time 24/7. You have to use your web cam to record yourself taking the final. Once done the video is uploaded to the proctoring company. The proctoring company in about two weeks will review the video for any attempts of cheating. Pass the test and not caught cheating then submit the course in ACE for credit. If you fail the test then you can retake it in 3 days. Only two ACE finals can be take per month.
