I'm not familiar with the ASU, but will these College Credits be only useful to students in the United States, or students from Europe will be able to convert it to ECTS?

#22> 25$ fee to sign up and begin coursework, and an optional $400 fee to receive college credit for each course Does this mean to watch targeter course videos it's 25$ but to receive any credits you must pay 400$ extra? This seems ... Weird. Why not just find other videos targeted to your course work for free?

#24This is pretty great, $25 for course work and lectures and you pay $400 for credits only if you pass and like your grade.
Universities should be incentivized for you to pass, not just show up.

Careful not to create a wrong incentive where universities just churn people through a program that slowly becomes impossible to fail.

Hmmm, that seems like it would lead to perverse incentives too. eg:
"They spelled their name mostly correctly. Clearly they pass."

Compared to the existing programs where teachers are pressured to pass people because you can't just fail 70% of the students because it makes the passing rate too low for your school?

#28I'd hate to have my college credits killed by Google once they get bored of this.
>> I'd hate to have my college credits killed by Google once they get bored of this. The good news is that once Google gets bored of this then any college credits earned should still be valid because the credits are backed by ASU. Google is only the delivery and distribution partner. FTA: "This credit can then be used at any of the hundreds of institutions that accept credits from ASU."

Unless of course something goes wrong, and you need to contact them for assistance.

These two problems are not exclusive.

"Incentivize to pass" the institution that makes and grades the tests - what effect do you think that will have?
