How do I know if something like this offers ACE credit?

That's not ACE. You can verify ACE-approval by going to the organization's page on the ACE National Guide or checking the Alternative Credit Project page on the guide. I believe edx's only ACE-evaluated courses are for differential equations.

Remember that ACP is separate from ACE. There are many more courses available through ACE.

A lot of us have mentioned Straighterline, Study.com, and other course providers to you. You should go to their websites and check out all of their for-credit offerings. I think Bjcheung's beginners' guide thread has most of the companies listed. You can also go to the Degree Forum Wiki.

I'm confused by this Dave- ACP is an ACE program.

Yes, but the post was asking how to find out if something was ACE-recommended, then listed the ACP link. davewill was pointing out that ACP was limited, and didn't show the vast majority of ACE-recommended courses.

That's why I said both should be checked, but maybe I should have been clearer. Always search for the organization's page first and then check the ACE Alternative Project Ecosystem. EdX is only listed in the Ecosystem.
