I'm not sure how it transfers but it sounds like it may be a good option for people who aren't big fans of math.
Buying the main course gives you access to a few other interesting looking courses(not worth credit): Problem-Solving People, Mathematical Intuitions, Social Science Explorations, and Career Strategies Course

It also offers a free trial which I will be checking out tomorrow.

Also, a study testing the following 5 products:

CSM, Reading Horizons Elevate (Reading Horizons),  My Foundations Lab (Pearson), ALEKS (McGraw Hill), and GED Academy (Essential Education).

Found that:

Of the five evaluated products, only CSM had significant positive impact on math scores, and CSM also had the highest improvement in literacy scores. CSM also had the highest engagement.
