Possibly a "hair-brained" idea on PLAs
#5
Honestly, I wouldn't need to be paid for this. If I could take the course & get credit for it... I'd be a happy camper. After all, its better than sitting around twiddling my thumbs all day... & I think I'm sort of at a stand-still.

Anyhow, I did find something on this. It's not much, but it might be a start. According to this article, ACE charges about $25,000 to review courses. However, I also came across something saying that the charge is based on a proposal. That could mean they charge more to for-profits than non-profits (i.e. Saylor). Even if the charge would be $25,000 though, with Saylor being a non-profit, I might be able to approach a foundation or donor with a grant proposal to cover the cost. I know of at least four foundations that would probably give a grant for this, & might even be able to work with a larger non-profit offering sub-grants for programs in conjunction with Saylor to get this approved.
