Just completed this course and I'm still waiting for the horseshoe in the glove, but there doesn't appear to be any.
2021/SP Intro to Library Research
I needed one graded RA credit, and I wanted something online and low cost. Registration is easy and non-invasive. They use Moodle as a platform, and of course they also offer a free non-credit Intro to Moodle course. There are plenty of seats and multiple sections each term, including on-time and late start. While the course is not self-paced, it is asynchronous, and the flexibility is excellent. The instructors, all CCC librarians, are available by various methods (including 24/7 live chat!) and are responsive and helpful.
They use Parchment for transcript services.
Here's a great intro video to give you a feel for the course.
I'd call the workload very reasonable for one RA credit. Sophia "Building Effective Teams", it is not. But there are no exams and no proctoring. For what it's worth, I put in probably two or three hours a week for eight weeks (it's a nine-week course, but the last week's assignment is just a forum post reflecting on what you've learned), but I'm sure I could have gotten by with less. I was shooting for a high final grade.
