I just signed up for two courses: Educational Assessment, and Ethics and Safety in the Classroom through St Catherines.
Called the number, paid for the course, got an email, logged in and am now viewing course content.
Each course is worth 2CR of graduate credit and will transcribe through St Catherines.
I have up to a year to complete each course at my leisure. I'll report back my status as I go through the courses.

I just finished one course today. I been extremely busy, haven't updated.
So I finished three VESI courses in a two week time frame. Actually two of the courses were completed on one day apart of each other. One course took me awhile. These are graduate level courses and self paced and you have one year tops to complete these courses. No textbooks just mini pdf files in the course. Exams are highly doable if you just re read the material.
I am now awaiting VESI to grade the last two VESI courses and once TESC receives the transcript.... I will be a...
TESC graduate! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!
BTW Ryoder, St. Catherine University is a highly respected university in the area they are located in. Pretty cool to have graduate level credit from a highly respected institution! Yay!

Yay! Well, to be fair from what I've seen in my trips to NJ TESC is pretty respected in the state for the niche that it serves too. :p

Stupid question, but what is VESI? I've been lazy and haven't checked the wiki.

The people who have actually used it will probably be able to give a better explanation. From what I've read in the past, it's a company that offers graduate-level, continuing education courses for educators. The company has partnerships with universities to transcribe these credits as either CEUs or graduate credit for degree programs. Different schools charge different rates for transcribing these credits. Some only give CEUs. Morningside and St. Catherine actually give graduate credit and they're pretty cheap. Morningside charges $205-245 for 2-3 credit courses. St. Catherine charges $305-365. While these are courses meant for teachers, some of them are social science-related and that's why ACE_King is taking them for his degree at TESC.

I'm always happy to complete the free application waiver for those applying to WGU (I get a free gift from WGU for this). Just PM me your first/last name and a valid email so I can complete their form.

Rebel100,
Morningside has additional requirements now.
"The courses taken through Morningside College now also require a 3-7 page final case study paper and textbook reading assignment(s). Please see the individual course syllabus and addendum to review the particular requirements for each course."
St. Kate does not require this final case study.
Regards,

Sanantone pretty much hit it on the nail!
And yes, St. Catherine University didn't require any final papers. Gotta love it :]

I spent a couple of hours reading and watching the little powerpoint like training modules. I really need to learn this stuff because I am considering getting an EdS Instructional Technology degree and I know this much (pinching fingers together) about educational theory and practice. I will probably do about 12CR worth and will either just use them to bolster my skills or maybe to transfer into a MEd and later complete the EdS. Who knows. But I like the learning.
