This could be interesting, but only with a knowledge of how many courses will be available each month and knowing which ones would be available in advance.

William Gabriel

This is a very interesting idea and seems appropriate for the nature of the material.

I think it would be helpful to have a posted calendar that shows the active and future life of the modules on one page.

This is great! I've been hoping for something like this.

No. Courses are available for a limited time. Courses will be available to purchase at a discount once they expire from the subscription plan.

So I have to rent for 3 months first to buy at a discount? Is this discount big enough to warrant this route over an outright purchase?

Is the Mobile Ed Subscription plan dynamically priced?

No. The Mobile Ed Subscription plan costs $49.99 per month/$499.99 per year. Dynamic pricing is not available for this product.

I own 51 Mobile Ed courses already. What happens if the rental model is only currently offering courses I already own? I am well convinced that these courses are worth $50 a month. If I know the upcoming courses are ones I own can I withdraw from the plan for the month?

I wish this had been an option from the beginning. I am happy to see it now.

I like the interface of the Timeline Reference Tool, and it would fit the subscription calendar nicely. Can you create a special server side instance, throw in the module subscription names & dates into the Timeline DB and give the output through the webserver? I haven't looked to see if Timeline is using Chromium the same way the homepage is, but if so, hopefully that would be a relatively easy project.

This looks like a good plan. It would be nice to know what's coming up, but I'm glad that the website explains which courses are available for the present month. For those who didn't click through, this is the March offering:

Mobile Ed: BI100 Learn to Study the Bible
Mobile Ed: CM100 Basic History of Preaching
Mobile Ed: MI102 Current Issues in Missions
Mobile Ed: NT156 Understanding Easter: The Significance of the Resurrection (Available soon)
Mobile Ed: NT211 Introducing the Gospels and Acts: Their Background, Nature, and Purpose
Mobile Ed: OT391 The Shema
Mobile Ed: PC201 Pastoral Ethics

So long as the next month is published before the subscription renewal would be taken, then I would be happy.

As much as I dislike subscriptions, this one deserves attention. I am going to be watching carefully. At $499.99/year (which is probably a great deal) I would still want to choose my own courses and not want someone else deciding what few courses would be available to me. If we knew ahead what was coming, a whole year might be well worthwhile. $49.99/mo isn't bad either if the courses are ones I would select. I would probably go the monthly route.

I am liking this idea.

Edit: Seeing the list above from Mark, that would certainly be worth subscribing to get.

This is great news! I've been hoping for something like this! [:D]

The Mobile Ed Subscription plan costs $49.99 per month/$499.99 per year.

Is it set up so we can subscribe or unsubscribe month to month based on the offerings and interest level? That would be the best setup, in my opinion!

I think that the post you quote from is itself answering your question with a yes.

I sure hope so! [:D] That's what it sounded like to me, but a confirmation would be nice. If anyone tries it out as an early adopter, please let us know how it works and your satisfaction level with it. I'm seriously considering this.

I can confirm it, albeit unofficially, because there is no reason to believe that this system works any differently from Logos/Verbum Now and Logos/Verbum Cloud, which both allow you to buy access either one month at a time or one year at a time.

Courses will be available to purchase at a discount once they expire from the subscription plan.

Liz, is there any word on what kind of discount is being offered to subscribers for the courses after the monthly access to them is expired?

Jim Snowden

Hi Liz,

I signed up for the monthly Mobile Ed subscription to try it out. I did notice though that in my subscription list for my account it says this:

Mobile Ed Subscription - Monthly Subscription (6 Month)

Is that meaning there is a minimum 6 month subscription period (boo hiss), or that it is $49.99 for six months subscription (yippee), or neither or those interpretations (oh well)..

Thanks!

Jim

The discount information for courses expiring from the Mobile Ed Subscription will be included in the monthly Mobile Ed Subscription email. [:)]

Liz,

Please correct me if I'm wrong..

We'll get new sets of video every month
But we get to keep them for 3 months instead of 1 month

Thanks for brining this issue to our attention. The SKU description has been updated to reflect the Mobile Ed 1 Month Subscription. We do not have a 6 month option for the subscription.

David Carter

Yes, each course will be available for at least 3 months.

I don't quite see how this will work. Say for example Matthew subscribes from March, my understanding is that as things stand he would have access to NT211 Introducing the Gospels and Acts for March April and May. However, if Luke subscribes from May, does NT211 drop off at the end of May, or will it be available for May June and July so that Luke has access for 3 months?

The Mobile Ed Subscription is updated monthly. Please note, not all courses will be changing every month. Each Mobile Ed course will be available for a minimum of 3 months within the Mobile Ed Subscription. You must have a current Mobile Ed Subscription to access the courses.

Joseph Najera

Will the Mobile Ed videos that are part of your subscription be available on the Apple TV app?

Jim Snowden

Thanks Liz. I think the subscription model does suit these video courses well - I think I would probably only watch the mobile ed videos once anyway.

( For books I think I'd still rather buy outright to keep permanently in my library as for many I would reuse.)

Ok ok, you've convinced me to signup for it. I just did, and I'm excited about it! I hope I'm not too late to get this "monthly Mobile Ed Subscription email."

Israel Martinez

Hi, I just suscribed and I was wondering about wich courses are staying for next month .

Jim Snowden

A note gets added to the main mobile ed page Mobile Ed Subscription around the 14th of the month to say which courses are being added and which are being removed. There is a note just gone up for July -

"On July 1, the following courses will be added to Mobile Ed Subscription: Mobile Ed: BI101 Introducing Biblical Interpretation: Contexts and Resources by Michael Heiser, and Mobile Ed: PD101 Our Identity in Christ by Elyse Fitzpatrick.

Mobile Ed: BI181 Introducing Bible Translations will be removed from the subscription, but will return soon."

Tan you for the information Jim.

Does anyone think this is worth it? In their experience
