I randomly saw them on the ACE website. Looks like most of their courses just gained ace approval a few months ago. At first, they seemed like another overpriced course provider ($250/credit or $750 per course). However, I'm not sure if it's some kind of promo or mistake, but 2 of their courses are listed at $1 each in the shop: interactive business and strategic management process. I was able to successfully place them in my cart. So for $2 I can get 6 extra credits. Will investigate more tomorrow morning.

In the lower-division baccalaureate/associate degree category, 3 semester hours in strategic planning or management (7/18).

Wow. I wonder if they will duplicate at TESU though. I paid the $2 because I don't mind if I only get duplicate credit.
For each course, you take 5 quizzes to unlock the final exam. For one course I also see a final essay assignment, but when I click it, it has placeholder text instead of an assignment.
The final exam "Requires Respondus LockDown Browser + Webcam". Their help page for Respondus is at https://courses.degreeplanworks.com/mod/page/view.php?id=1292&forceview=1

Nice! I think I'll pony up the $2 as well because why not?
Apparently, they're decently quick, too:
"Our courses average 15 to 20 hours each. In other words, a course can be done over a week end."
RE: Degreeplanworks.com 2 $1 courses! ACE approved - Ideas - 10-24-2018
I'm liking these a lot.
Quizzes are 10 questions each. They seem to have no time limit.
The final exams require 70% to pass and you have 2 attempts. They are not timed! I saw a mention of a practice exam in the help, but I don't see a practice exam in these courses. I don't see anywhere that lists how many questions are on the final.
Interactive Business is an odd title. It's just business communication.

Did it for the 2$ but they are probably duplicates for me. Hopefully someone finishes them quickly and can provide some input.

Wow! Any idea what TESU requirements these courses would fulfill? Gen Ed?
RE: Degreeplanworks.com 2 $1 courses! ACE approved - dfrecore - 10-24-2018
If Interactive Business comes in as Business Comm, then it would be COM-220, and could be used in multiple areas of a degree plan (Business Core, BALS LL AOS, Knowledge of Human Cultures, Gen Ed Electives, Free Electives).
Strategic Management would probably come in as a LL Business course, and could be used in the BSBA AOS in the MAN area.

I splurged and bought the 2 courses. Looks fairly straightforward.
Apparently I'm already behind on the essay: "Assignment is overdue by: 13 days 10 hours"

Drat! They're already repriced at $750 each. Nice catch to those who got it in time!

Dang! It must have just changed in the last few minutes.
