Online Courses Sophia

Sophia is an educational platform providing both free resources for teachers and students and Sophia Pathways for College Credit: 20 low-cost self-paced online courses offering college credit eligible for transfer to more than 2,000 colleges and universities in the US.

Sophia Pathways for College Credit are 60-day programs costing $329 each that you may start at any time and learn on your own schedule. There are no classes to attend or weekly assignments to complete. Students can choose to learn from multiple instructors or choose the one they like best. Students learn flexible problem solving skills and the instructors use real world situations. Sophia Learning Coaches are available by chat, email and phone to offer support. Each course page gives the user an optional tour of the course’s features, a course overview and a downloadable student guide.

Sophia currently has three US partner institutions where credit transfer is guaranteed, although their course credits may be transferable to other college and university programs that recognise the ACE (American Council on Educations) Credit recommendation scheme.

Sophia for Teachers & Students
Sophia also provides professional development courses for teachers as well as free resources for teachers and for students in middle school, high school and college. The 37,000+ free crowd-sourced tutorials for students include ACT Test Prep (Preparation for entry into US colleges) and Homework Help tutorials in core subjects delivered via videos, screencasts and real-world scenarios. Students can rate tutorials, ask and answer questions, earn badges, and can follow the Quizpoint leader board featuring members with the most points. Users can also use the free “Ego Meter” and Learning Preference Assessment tool which assesses a student’s preferred method of learning.
