I recently read an essay by J.D. Vance, and it made me think about how education shapes lives, especially for those from disadvantaged backgrounds. Vance’s story really highlights the importance of access to education and how it can be a game-changer, which feels super relevant for us in the online education space.

For us, it’s a reminder that education isn’t just about earning degrees—it’s about creating opportunities for everyone to succeed, no matter their background.

Hey everyone! I’ve been experimenting with a simple way to help language learners stay engaged between classes: turning lesson content into personalized audio podcasts. It’s a great tool for revisiting vocabulary and improving listening skills naturally.

If you’d like to try it yourself, here’s how it works:

1. Go to langmagic.com and log in or sign up.
2. In the left-hand menu (where you’ll find options like “Home” and “ChatGPT Prompts”), look for the “Create Audio-Podcast” button in the bottom right corner.
3. Click on it, and you’ll be redirected to a Google Form.
4. Fill out all the required fields in the form.
5. Within a few hours, you’ll receive your podcast via email.

It’s been a game-changer for my students, and it might work for you too. If you try it out, let me know how it goes!

I want to get into a good college, but due to a mix of procrastination and general anxiety problems I didn't get good grades in high school. So I plan to go to a community college to hopefully improve my chances of getting into my preferred college afterwards.

But before I do that I would like to hopefully get my self up to par with other students applying so I don't struggle to much, which is why I'm making this post.

I'm wondering if any of you know of some (Preferably Free or cheap) online resources that I can use to learn high school math, grammar, and US history, like perhaps some kind of app.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I recently got a DM from an admissions person from the Quantic School of Business and Technology.

I have actually been looking into programs like this because I want to gain knowledge, network and advance in my career. But I don't want the heavy ""lift"" of a traditional 2-year MBA program.

I feel Quantic's pitch is solid. As I understand it's an interactive way to learn concepts and the tech is great (unlike a lot of top Uni's). Good network and solid outcomes stats. This is important to me.

I'm a project manager who's worked at a few early-mid stage startups. I like this type of company, but want to work my way up to more senior roles. I DON'T feel a ""top mba"" brand name is necessary for this.

I see a lot of reviews on Reddit, etc for Quanitc MBA, but I specifically want to know about the EMBA program.

Are there any students or alumni of the program out there that can answer a few questions for me?

1. What other programs did you consider? Why did you go with Quantic?

2. How much of your time did it take (per week)?

3. What did you get from it? Was it worth it?

NOTE: There are a lot of haters in Reddit that only advocate for traditional schools. As I mentioned, I don't need/want that. Not interested in starting that debate in this thread.

I am looking for good recommendations for International Relations/Global studies bachelor degree programs. I struggle to learn from just exorbitant amounts of reading and pointless exercises, so I would prefer programs that either have live virtual classes with a variety of times or recorded lectures that I could watch. If anyone has had any great experiences or has had terrible experiences and is willing to share their feedback it would be much appreciated. Thank you!

I am working on a tool, that convert videos into interactive course with quiz, leaderboard, up/down votes, AI based instant answers, captions and translations.

Does such a tool make sense, or if anything is already available, can you point me to it. If it does make sense, what feature should it have.

I hope I’m posting this in the right area, I’m new to the sub.

But I have a sort of unique problem.

I didn’t get a great education. My parents were more focused on having me in Christian schools than with the actual quality of my education. I went to tiny private schools until my sophomore year, and from then on, I was homeschooled. So I never had a real teacher for advanced algebra, calculus, geometry, biology, chemistry, or physics.

And this has made it next to impossible to get anywhere in college. I do fine with English and history classes. I love those. But that’s not what I want to do with my life.

Recently, I’ve decided I want to go into marine biology. I live on the coast and there’s at least three different employers here where a marine biology degree would come in handy.

But I’ve tried to take college math and science courses and I just don’t have the right foundation for them. It feels like I’m trying to jump into a show without having watched the first season.

So I was wondering if there’s any resources for taking high school classes online. I don’t mind putting in the work. I just want to have a career that I don’t hate, and I’ve loved the ocean for my entire life. It just makes sense for me to do something with it.

But the problem I’m having with finding classes is that the ones I’m finding are for people who are completing a GED or their diploma, so the classes are accredited and cost hundreds of dollars to take. And I don’t need that, I don’t need credits or anything official. I just need to learn what I missed before I can try to take any further steps. I don’t mind paying something for it, but everything I’ve found charges per credit hours and I don’t need credits. I just need to learn.

Sorry this is a novel but I would appreciate any help!

Hi & thanks in advance for any advice:

I'm trying to build a paid 3-hour education course and sell it on a WIX made website. The course needs to have certificate features and a course timer so certain course builders I already know won't work for me.

I tried to use the WIX course builder, but it seems really limited. Has anyone successfully built a wix course with the wix builder? Should I be using another platform to build the course and then integrate it into my WIX site? The course itself will be fairly basic...mostly text based, maybe some 5-10 minute videos to break up the text, and multiple choice quizzes.

I'm not super savvy with any of this tech and felt like Wordpress with the Learndash plugin was above my ability so I scrapped it and started rebuilding the site with Wix.

Thank you!

Hey, I’ve Seen that I can take College Algebra, precalculus and calculus at ASUs Universal Learner Courses (https://ea.asu.edu/courses/). Does anyone know something similar for higher maths, and receive college credit?

*Not Sophia or study.com.

I have been considering teaching online since long. I need some advice and help regarding it. Anything would help.

I am really motivated to teach and i have experience. I can teach children and adults. For now i have been thinking about teaching English or Arabic or Tajweed. My reason is that growing up i saw myself and people around me in need of language learning but did not know from where and how. And at that time i wish i had support and help to learn it. Even now i know there are many around me needing assistance. So i want to first start teaching locally. Hopefully i can do something.

O'Reilly has a current offer for their online learning platform. I'm considering it but wanted to ask anyone who participates in this type of platform: how do you read the books?

To be specific, the books appear in a PDF or similar format within a scrollable window within the website. They can't be downloaded. On a laptop, even a large MacBook Pro, less than a page of the books renders, and for me, too much mental energy goes into the management of the scrolling and not the reading.

This would be fine for looking something up, but for reading a book end to end, the experience seems frustrating. Maybe a tablet would be a better interface? Hope someone knows what I'm referring to and has some thoughts.

I'm currently trying to find an online college, this search is overwhelming me at this point. I'm looking for IT and business administration degrees that will not take longer than 2 years. i live in Alabama and need a completely online school. any help will be much appreciated!

Hello! I’m interested in learning more about the history of film, not film production. Can anyone recommend some good online courses to study that? Preferable free. Thank you!

So currently I am taking my districts non-advanced, basic 8th grade pre-alg class. But, this sets me on track to take alg1 in 9th, geometry in 10th, and alg2 in 11th. Taking alg2 in eleventh means I am not fully prepared for the PSAT. I could probably switch to algebra 1 for my 8th grade year, but I fear that in my current situation I would not be prepared for the class and would likely not learn a lot of things from pre-algebra which i’m scared could set me behind even further than I already am. I haven’t researched summer classes, or after school tutoring. What if my best option were

Hey guys!

Since the r/Edgenuity subreddit got taken down, there’s no real place for students to get help or just chat about Edgenuity anymore. So, I went ahead and created a new subreddit r/EdgenuityHubs where we can share tips, get tech support, and help each other out.

Feel free to join and hang out!

Is LUO course lesson the same as WGU, UMPI or Thomas Edison? Meaning, are they self paced, accelerated or competency based education? How quick can you complete a bachelors degree program? How many credits can you transfer from Sophia?

Hi,

I'm a biologist who really sucks in statistics... I would like to resolve this problem definitively, but I don't know where to start. I previously learned things like t-test, r2, ANOVA, PCA, and stuff like that, but I wouldn't be able to use those notions now...

Basically, I'm looking for some kind of well-structured online course which present the theoretical aspect, followed by exercise and solution. I know how to use R and python, it would be great if the course is using one of those languages (I did my PhD using R, so I'm more confident with it, but I learn Python recently, and I would like to enhance my skill with this language).

Thank you for your answer !

Im not looking for a certificate, I just want the resources to get started with learning this field. If anyone has any useful resources or drive links lemme know ⭐

Hello guys, dont know if this is the right sub but I hope to find an answer.

I am looking for a master degree of 1 year about computer science ( I would like to take it online/distance) in a real university with a final degree.

I am 29 yo, I work in finance, I have a bachelor degree in Statistics and a master degree in Finance, in the last period at my job Im auotmatizing some reports and using a bit of ML to improve some tasks/analysis and this make me think how much I could work better if I just knew more about AI/ML/coding/computer science. The problem is that Im not more a student, I have a job and I would like to mantain it, just I would love to go back in studying and do something I like. I am looking so for a 1 year master degree about it, I could study after work, but have this necessity to find a master to do in remote/distance, maybe I can move for exams but of course not for everyday lessons. Do you have any tips/suggestions? Thank youuuu

My journey with the Northwestern / edX / 2U coding boot camp, which began in May, has been far from smooth. I was looking forward to starting the part-time coding classes at the end of July, supported by the WIOA program’s educational voucher.

The initial interaction with the edX representative (whose name escapes me) was promising. She was diligent in following up, ensuring that all necessary paperwork was completed, and the entrance test was taken. 

During June, I was also navigating the WIOA program’s processes to secure the voucher, which included interviewing a developer and comparing edX / 2U with another coding institution.   But this time I had some challenging questions for her and she asked if should call me back but all she did was end up ghosting me.

By the start of July, I had received no word from the admissions team, prompting me to call again. This time, I spoke with Sam. Despite his initial willingness to address my concerns, Sam’s actions fell short of his promises. He even went as far as setting up a Zoom call to discuss my concerns further. However, when the day of the call arrived, Simon was nowhere to be found. He had ghosted me, failing to show up for the scheduled meeting. This lack of professionalism and disregard for my time was deeply disappointing.

Frustrated, I called them the next day and I insisted on speaking with a manager, leading me to Candy, the admissions manager. I explained my situation, only to be assigned back to Mary, who turned out to be the original admissions representative who had previously ghosted me. With the course start date fast approaching, my primary concern was their receipt of the voucher, especially since the WIOA program had not heard from edX / 2U and the form they had filled out was incorrect.

Two weeks before the course start date, I was still uncertain about my enrollment status. Despite the WIOA program’s attempts to assist, edX offered nothing but unfulfilled promises of callbacks. A week before the course, I had yet to hear from anyone at edX / 2U. When I called, I found out that Candy was out of the office, and there was no backup so after some pushback, I was eventually transferred to Sandy, the Director of Admissions, who, despite promising to investigate my case and listening to the taped calls, also ghosted me…. I mean we are talking about the head of admissions.  In the end, Candy called to inform me that as a matter of fact, I would not be able to join the current cohort and would have to wait two months for the next one due to an error made by the social impact team on their end in calculating the total cost of the course.  I asked her why I would want to come back to them after all they put me through this. She mentioned the job placement which I told her I wouldn’t need.

In conclusion, my experience with Northwestern / edX / 2U coding boot camp has been marked by a lack of communication and unfulfilled promises. It’s disheartening to see such a lack of professionalism and accountability in an educational institution especially when they are using the Northwestern name.

this is a completely free gamedev course I've been working on, and it has already started, but today's and tomorrow's sessions are so important and generalizable that I hope I can help much more people live (so you'll also be able to ask questions and such), join here today @ 18:30 EEST (you can also watch the recording, but ofc it's live is cooler)

specifically, today we'll have a 3-4h "C# coding masterclass" and tmrw a "C# Meets Unity", probably also 3-4h.

here's how week1 went, if you're interested in the full course, it's all public and nobody's selling anything: link

Has anyone heard of Santander Open Academy or taken any of the courses in it? I thought it would be similar to IBM's Skills Build, but find it weird that such a small institution would launch a free online academy.
