SL appears to have some affiliation with Saylor too...they keep sticking their grubby little tentacles into all kinds of things. StraighterLine « Saylor.org – Free Online Courses Built by Professors Scroll down to "Two Pieces of Exciting News"
It's going to cut into their profit margin though if more nontraditional students start taking advantage of Saylor's offerings instead of going through SL's courses. If these had been available when I was pursuing a BA I would taken all 3 of them. Heck, if I ever decide to finish the BSBA I started I might do 2 of them. 50 bucks for 6 credits? Gotta love it!
