Has anyone successfully used MOOCS for portfolio credit? I'm just curious as many of the courses state 6-8 hours per week over 8 weeks..

I don't see why not. The key is not how long you studied, but what you learned and how you can document it. Plan to supply a syllabus and to write a narrative detailing what you learned and how you learned it. If you have a project or two that you did, submit those, too. The critical part will be finding a course somewhere that aligns with what you studied.

My kind of way to earn credit. Write about what you know, supply documentation. Sounds like what I do in the office. Maybe I'll include some of the projects I've worked on with the financial statements and market analysis. Maybe I can pull off 3 credits in Project Management and 3 in Managerial Finance.

Sure. Remember you aren't trying to prove you're an expert, you're trying to prove that you learned what a college student who passed the course would have learned.

Alright, so keep it simple.

Yes! I enjoy taking MOOCs and have successfully used the knowledge & documentation in my Learning Counts portfolio.

Would you recommend using key terms and vocabulary that may be used in the book the course uses?

Absolutely.
Here is an image of the portfolio checklist I created. I created it in Word but don't know how to upload a Word doc here. I print them, crop them to fit on the outside of a file folder, then tape it the front/outside of the file folder. This allows me to see at a glance where I am in the process. Not every category needs to be met, but the more you have the better.

Need help with portfolios? I earned 18 credits at TESU through portfolio evaluations. Nine of those were for upper level accounting courses. My advice for PLA/portfolios: TESU portfolio tips The first post has the Portfolio Checklist I created. Page ten has the actual narrative I wrote to receive credit for ACC-440.
Using Straighterline's Financial Accounting as a substitute for TESU's Intermediate Accounting I? Don't do it if you are an accounting major and/or want your CPA license. They are not the same course and I think TESU has erred in accepting the SL course as Intermediate I. I made this discovery here: Intermediate Accounting II.
