UMPI courses are more work. You have the course content then the Final Assessment which is an exam, paper, or project. The higher the course level, the more work. Sophia is all LL courses. Most courses transfer students take at UMPI will be UL. Your entire grade for the courses comes from your Final Assessment and you must earn a minimum of an 80 on it to pass the course.
The English courses on Sophia are a lot more work though. More papers than UMPI. The learning platform is similar where all of the course content is self contained. We don't have outside textbooks.
