We did offered it as a course with academic credit for one semester. The administrative logistics to getting beyond a special projects course, into the regular catalog and transcript systems ongoing. At this time, faculty are encouraged to include individual activities into their own courses, where the activities become part of the course work for that academic credit.
There are similar models for completing skills courses like this outside the main course for students who aren't proficient in some specialized skills that are important to student success. If students are required to take something like this "after hours" outside the academic course, completion counts 5% toward the grade for the course the student is enrolled in. This requires coordination between the course faculty and the "after hours" program. This has been very effective so far. There are plans to follow these students long term.
