What is the cheapest Historical Methods/Historiography course?
#7
Here's a overview of what ACE does to evaluate courses for credit: http://www.acenet.edu/news-room/Pages/Em...tions.aspx.  Based on the overview, I'd say Study.com can't commit because they have no idea how long it will take ACE to perform the evaluation.  I'm guessing, but since ACE evaluates courses for hundreds of organizations, I'm sure they perform these evaluations on a first-come, first-serve basis, and they most likely have to wait for a certain team of SMEs to be available based on the knowledge domain of the course being evaluated.  And based on the overview, they don't just look at the course that Study.com submitted, they also have to look at how comparable courses are taught at traditional B&M colleges to determine if the same level of knowledge is covered to award it those credits.  I'm sure there is quite a bit of back and forth between Study.com and ACE during the evaluation process, where ACE denies credit based on the course not covering "Topic X" so Study.com has to add additional detail and resubmit.  I'm basing this on the observation that every day I check the Study.com homepage and scroll down to recently updated courses.  The only reason to update a course is that either it is a new course or they are adding to an existing course to meet the deficiencies identified in the evaluation.  Of course, this is all based on personal theory, I could be totally off base.  Since I'm not an educator, take my advice and insight with a lot of salt.  Since the Study.com team watches this board, perhaps they could give us more insight on how the evaluation process works from their point of view and let me know if I'm a clueless wanker or not.
