TEL Learning - your new best friend (cheap RA credits)

[BrianFallon]

I guess I don't understand at all what your point is. TESU won't have any idea whether students took a given course from TEL Learning or Mid-America Christian University. We know exactly what a given course will transcript as because the partner institutions and TEL have been nice enough to tell us. They transcript as RA credits. Period. The end.

We don't know precisely what course numbers TESU will give them when they are transferred in but that doesn't mean that they won't transfer. There is every reason to assume that, for instance, the English Comp courses will transcript as ENC-101 and ENC-102 just the same as Sophia courses do. The difference is that these will be RA credits and Sophia is not.

It’s obscuring the true source of the credit which is credit laundering. TESU does not grant credit for TEL Courses. To me, it is the logical equivalent of taking a Shmoop class, having it transcripted and trying to pass it off as RA because some school somewhere put it on a tranacriptz. The partners are granting credit based on their assessment of an equivalent - the TEL courses have different numbers than their on campus or own online offerings - offerings that are far pricier.

I’d be curious to see how the TEL to partner school to TESU route works out for someone.

I hope I’m wrong but I suspect TESU will catch on quick. But, it’s not my money or time...
