<p>hey, for those of you who might be self-studying for any AP course, many colleges offer online courses for various subjects (not necessarily named AP, but they're actual courses that colleges offer). On the MIT course list I found AP Calc. :] Just take a look if you're interested.</p>
<p>Top 10 Universities With Free Courses Online</p>
<h1>1 UC Berkeley</h1>
<p>Ranked as the #1 public school in the United States, Berkeley offers podcasts and webcasts of amazing professors lecturing. Each course has an RSS feed so you can track each new lecture. For printable assignments and notes you can check the professors homepage, which is usually given in the first lecture or google his name. Even though the notes, homework and tests are not directly printed in the berkeley website, as they are in MIT and other courseware sites, it's not a problem to find them. I personally tried to use it for John Wawrzynek's machine structures class and the nutrition courses.</p>

<p>Getting The Most From Berkeley Webcasts
Berkeley Videos are in .rm format and real player can be a pain. It asks you to register real player, spawns on startup. Instead, download a free program called media player classic with the real alternative plugin. Media player classic is fully featured and much easier on the computers memory. The real alternative plugin download seems to come with an older version of media player classic, so updating media classic is optional.</p>
<p>Download: Real Alternative Plugin
Download: Media Player Classic For Windows XP/2000
Download: Media Player Classic For Windows 98/ME</p>
<h1>2 MIT Open Courseware</h1>
<p>The Massachusetts Institute of Technology is ranked 7th nationally in the United States. Many of the courses do not have video lectures. Instead, they have notes in PDF format along with tests and homework.</p>

<p>Getting the Most Out of MIT OCW
Since MIT OCW is heavily based on opening PDF files it's recommended you download FoxIt Reader, a freeware PDF reader that's many times faster than the bulky and slow adobe acrobat. Also Ghost Script in combination with GSView is able to read pdfs, and post scripts files.</p>
<p>Download: Foxit Reader</p>
<h1>3 Carnegie Mellon's Open Learning Initiative</h1>
<p>Carnegie Mellon is a private research university ranked equal with Berkeley. Though registration is not required they have a registered user mode that allows you to keep track of your scores and progress. Currently 11 courses are offered. The courses are basically ebooks in a frame-based easy to use navigation system with an occasional powerful interactive Java Applet! for practice and testing.</p>

<h1>6 Openlearn</h1>
<p>European site called Open University's OpenLearn supported by The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation. Contains many online course and a different style content management system. I was unable to find anything interactive or any streaming media, though it does have forums for each course. Appears to function mostly as a large educational ebook library.</p>
<p>Visit: OpenLearn</p>
<h1>7 JHSPH OCW</h1>
<p>Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health offers health based lecture notes and assigments. You'll find the JHSPH OCW website uses the same familiar navigation structure as MIT OCW. The notes are formatted much more cleanly but I haven't seen exams, and their search bar seems to be broken.</p>
