Anyone know anything about these? They appear to be free courses that don't result in college credit. However, if you take them, do a portfolio and pay a fee they can be used towards Purdue Global Campus. I wondering if they are good anywhere else. ACE? NCCRS? PLA?
Any information you find would be great. https://opencollege.purdueglobal.edu/pages/courses/

Purdue Univ has acquired Kaplan Univ and is now called Purdue University Global. It also looks like they've acquired Sofia.org as well because the website references Open Course @ Kaplan and when you search for that its now Purdue University Global. You can get an AS or BS in Professional Studies through Open College(a subsection of Purdue University Global).

A portfolio is basically the same thing as a PLA. You can pretty much use any decent, unaccredited course as the basis of a PLA/portfolio. However, most of these open courses will not translate into useful college credits because they're basic, career prep courses. Most of the other courses that are similar to a typical college course have many options that are faster and more transferable. College composition, for example, is easy to find as an ACE or NCCRS-approved course/test or a challenge exam from a regionally accredited college. In short, these open courses are essentially the same as MOOCs.

What you linked to looks like a defunct partner page.

You can find the useful ones of these available in a multitude of places for free or cheap (less than $100/course), and the others aren't going to be useful courses for a degree.
