Classes through XAMK Open Learn

[wow]

I decided to not take their course. The school is not very popular.... and I don't think employers in English speaking countries will take this diploma seriously.

This underscores that we all take classes for different reasons. For me, I'm not sure what popularity has to do with it. In my case, neither do employers—I run my own business.

Since these are ECTS from an accredited college, I do think someone looking for U.S. undergrad credits should have a decent chance of getting credit for XAMK courses from American colleges that regularly give transfer credits for ECTS, if—and it's a big if—the course subjects fit the degree plan. But if transferring is the main goal, that hypothetical someone would be better off with  the normal suggestions on this site. XAMK is a better fit when the main goal is to learn the material and, only as a bonus, possibly be able to get undergrad credit.

With the video games one, there's a discord if you have any questions about the course. It's mostly self study, though, yes.

Thanks, Rachel. I thought with the video games one, there should be a lot of programming exercises. Is that not the case? Is it more theoretical?
