What is an ONLINE Class that UMPI doesn't offer that you wish they did?

UMPI could do what other schools do and outsource at least some of its maths classes to ALEKS or similar. ALEKS has Stats: https://www.aleks.com/about_aleks/course_products

I don't like it as much, but Gradarius has Calculus: https://www.gradarius.com/

This is an interesting idea. I wonder how it would impact the cost of the YourPace program. UMPI has been big on keeping it affordable. They haven't raised tuition on it since it launched.

When paid for by the student, I think a 3-month access code for ALEKS is ~$100 for most classes. I have no idea how much a school like ASU is getting charged to give ALEKS access away for free. Absolutely no clue how much Gradarius would be.

$100 would allow for 5 or 6 months of individual access to ALEKS (including all courses): https://www.aleks.com/buy_aleks_now

Gradarius has a 1-week free trial and costs $10/month after that (either algebra or calculus): https://www.gradarius.com/info-for-learn-at-home

For individual pricing, yeah. ALEKS pricing is much higher for academic use, though, at least if you are a student.
