I have some questions:
Has OD considered offering digital badges along with the NCCRS transcript? Ed4Credit does this.
Does OD pay or have agreements with the actual content providers?
Does OD have any intentions of adding more classes?
Can OD offer the ability to review quiz results at the end of each chapter to allow studying for the final?
What happens if a person fails the class? Are there retakes?
Is OD going to open classes to international and underage students?
Thanks!
Mike

Actually I can answer the last 2:
There are retakes after a 3 month wait(similar to CLEP)

I've seen mentioned that they plan to expand to international students and people under 18 in the future

While I don't have a question, per se, I do have an issue and/or suggestion.
One of the reasons I ended up not continuing with my OD coursework was due to the way they handle the video lessons. Some folks have gotten around it to a degree by playing the video faster and then waiting a while until the video can be marked complete. That annoyed me quite a bit and slowed down my progress by too much. That coupled with the fact that I couldn't review quiz or exam results to help with studying ended up turning me off of their site, so I ended up taking the course at Study.com
I know that I personally learn much easier and faster via reading than I do from watching or listening to videos, and I know there are many others who do as well. I would love to see a way to bypass the video lessons and just read a transcript, or read a written supplement that goes over the same material. I imagine this must be a big problem for people who are hard of hearing or deaf as well.
I know that a lot of their material comes from The Great Courses. The physical version of their DVD's usually comes with a printed book that covers the material, so I believe the textual information is available, at least for those courses. It would be nice to see that added as an option to supplement or replace the video lessons.
That and add the ability to review quiz and exam results. Or at least quiz results. Otherwise, it is not really possible to gauge what you need to focus your studies on when preparing for the final exam.

Thoughts on which ones are your favorite and least favorite? How long did it take you to do all this?

Maybe I've missed a new thread but has anyone had these posted to their TESU transcript yet?
