Anyone use Khan Acadamy? - sklineho - 08-07-2012
Khan helped me a fair amount with the Biology CLEP. Sal is a little..............long-winded sometiems, but he still does a great job of explaining the material.

For history I like these: Annenberg Learner, Watch History Topics Videos Online - History.com
For science: Periodic Videos, Sixty Symbols, Chem4Kids, Biology4Kids, Physics4Kids
Oh, yeah, sorry! I'm studying for Biology. Thanks for the help!

Khan Academy is great for math, an area which Annenberg is lacking. I know the KA videos are short; but, when you have to watch over 100 of them to get through a subject, it's pretty demotivating. However, this is coming from someone with a short attention span. The Annenberg videos are somewhat entertaining, imo.
Would you be so kind as to send me the link? I'd greatly appreciate it!

Westerner posted the link earlier. Annenberg doesn't have any videos specifically on biology for college students, just microbiology. Some of the videos for teachers might help you though. An interesting tidbit is that Annenberg videos are used by Colorado State University for graduate courses in education. Just register for the courses at less than $100 per credit, watch the videos, and complete the required assignments.

I once read that Annenberg videos eerily follow CLEP and DSST tests. I don't know about that, but they helped me pass U.S. History and Introductory Psychology along with the IC flashcards.
