Hey there, I will soon be finishing my 12th grade in india and i have to start applying into universities. The concept of Online university is new to me and i dont know what to expect in these online undergrad degree's. I run my own video marketting firm with my brother and thats mainly why i cant move out of the country and study and id prefer an online medium.
Could you please recommend me a Good university with an online undergrad course related to business and entrepreneurship and leadership, preferably in a very interactive environment eg. zoom or Google Meet . And as a business owner the knowledge i gain from it should be practical so i can actively apply it in my business depending on its relevancy and I would prefer a medium of education where i can easily interact with the lecturers and students to engage further into my education and build a strong network.
I recently was checking out the University Of London's Online degree course and i found a reddit post saying The course content is good, but UoL online degrees have issues like limited access to reading materials, no lectures, minimal support, and inactive forums. Studying alone is tough. And as an extrovert i need people around me doing the same thing to be actively interested.
So guys please help me out on this one Recommend a few genuinely good universities with reputation fitting the type of education style i require. Thank you!
Not sure if this is the right subreddit to ask this question but not sure where else to put it. Basically, I transferred to Cal Poly Pomona from SMC (Santa Monica college) last semester, at SMC I took math 28 (Business Calc 1) but when I got here I was told that only counts for half the math requirement (I would’ve had to take math 29 which is business calc 2 at smc) and I will now have to take Math 1250 (Introduction to business calc)
I’m wondering if there are any online college options that anyone could recommend to fulfill this requirement rather than having to essentially retake business calculus.
Full transparency I am looking for easy as possible credits, I am not great at math and have 0 interest in it due to its lack of relevancy in anything I will likely do in my career or even in the rest of college.
Thanks in advance for any advice
My fiancé is having a major surgery soon and will be recovering for ~6 weeks. He doesn’t do well without a goal or schedule, so he’s looking for an online certification that offers a real credential he can be proud of.
He’s really into cooking, working out, dapper style and fashion, and travel—so anything related to those areas would be perfect. Also open to out of the box stuff!
Any recommendations for legitimate certifications he can complete from bed? Bonus points if they’re not too expensive!
I just got Skillshare and I really hate how they chop up videos into many short lesson videos. Is there a way to watch the 1 full-length lession video? Thank you!
Hello Reddit, I am looking for exams or online courses that give actual credits, they should have credits as a standalone. The classes I would like to pass are Calculus and Unsupervised Machine Learning, what would be your recommendations? Thanks

I've been finding lots of online learning platforms from here like Alison, EdX, Coursera etc. I know those offer lots of free learning courses, but wondering if there are some actually providing free certificate without requiring to purchase one afterwards? Thanks!!!

Does anyone have experience with the Writing Seminar in Empire's Opportunity Program?
I've got 2 full weeks until the next session starts, and I'm off work for that time as well. Hoping somebody might have the assignments for Week 3 so I can get ahead of things.
The NGO I work for is organising its first online training session, and we’re expecting 100+ participants. After the training, each participant will receive a personalised certificate with their name on it.
I know how to create personalized certificates using mail merge, but… how can I ensure that each participant receives their own certificate?
Does anyone have experience with this? Thanks for your thoughts!
Hey everyone!
As a recent grad passionate about online learning, I’ve been working on a tool to enhance your educational experience. It’s like ChatGPT but designed for your classes.
It connects to your university learning platform (e.g., Canvas, Blackboard) and gives you access to course materials like lecture notes, assignments, and slides. It’s like having a personal TA, always available to:
We’re in beta, so I’d love feedback from fellow online learners! Want to try it out? DM me or the link to sign up will be in the comments
I love using Alison but having to pay for certificates for each course feels icky. I go through quite a few courses at a time and the paywall on the certificates de-motivates me from wanting to continue with their site.
The knowledge provided is great, for being able to audit them, however, I would like something to show for myself once completed. TIA

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:
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 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.
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.
