What is the difference between ed2go and UGotClass online courses?

Our office partners with 2 organizations to provide a wide variety of online courses in many subject areas. Both programs are self-paced (asynchronous) meaning there are no set meeting dates or times. Ed2go courses are typically 6 weeks in length, and UGotClass courses are four weeks.
