For the past several years professors at colleges and universities around the world have posted their lectures on the Internet. These exams are accepted for credit at over 2800 colleges and universities. CLEP exams provide a meaningful way to reduce the high costs of college, notes Star.
Students can even take the exams without being enrolled at any school.
They can study at their own pace and their own time. I expect to see an acceleration in the number of lectures freely available. Even students who have limited access to the Internet can benefit from the study guides posted on the Free University Project website.
