Audio option - Sara143 - 03-30-2022

I am doing my general education through Sophia. I am very happy with results. Since , I just play and listen and do the milestones. English is not my first language so this way is very easy for me to study. I had classes through UMPI but unfortunately they don’t have any audio options. Can someone help me which university have audio option? I meant I don’t have to read by myself I have to just play and listen the lesson. Thanks for advance for replying to my post

I don't think you'll find any school where all of the classes are just videos or audio clips.

You may be best off with Excelsior college BSLA as you can transfer in 113 credits, you can use all the usual ACE/NCCRS providers for the lower level and upper level requirements (such as Sophia.org for lower level and Study.com for upper level). The only classes you need to take at Excelsior is the Info Lit, Cornerstone, Capstone (you take these 3 courses last to finish the degree).

If you want to listen to text, you can use Speakly. If you buy a subscription and install it in Chrome, it will read any website to you out loud.

Thanks for your help. I have 60 credits from my international degree. How many credits do I have to do at Sophia and study.com. Could you please guide me which classes do I have to take ? 
Thanks again for always being helpful.

You're right. Speakly is something else and I get those two apps confused.

If you have an iOS device, you can do the free trial subscription thing. Then go to "Manage Subscriptions" and get it for even cheaper still.
