They have at least 3 ACE-evaluated/ACE-approved history courses.
I tried to make shmoop work for me (for the learning experience, I don't need more LL history credits), but couldn't get past the extreme wordiness of the site.
The teaching style/website uses quite a bit of sarcasm to teach, which I think would be really appealing to some, but with hours of studying and even with the helpful suggestions from other df members, I couldn't pass the chapter tests I tried because I often couldn't tell what they were actually asking(!).
So my personal feeling is that shmoop is definitely a very specific niche provider that probably won't work for everyone... but for those it does work for, it's currently an inexpensive way to earn 9 LL credits.
