Fresno Pacific University offers mail away courses that are pretty simple. Many of the people in my school have used them. You pay for the courses and they send you the coursework. You have a year to complete it and you mail it back (whenever you are done). They are pretty reasonable. I have also taken NYSUT courses. They are more expensive but I have learned a lot from the courses.

I do the KDS online courses. They are self paced, about $200 each and not THAT difficult.

Sorry, reread the post didn't see the online part. I have done the KDS ones too but I was told that they cannot transfer to the island so you would have to do different classes for your differential if you ever went to the island.

CLEP tests are a GOLDMINE. It's like $90 for 3 undergrad credits, from an easy multiple-choice exam. You just can't take an exam in any subject you have college credit for already, unless it's your license area.
The language tests (also all multiple choice) give you either 6 or 12 credits, depending on your score. I went from Masters + 15 to Masters +30 by passing the Spanish and the Ed. Psych tests - it cost me $180 for an annual raise of thousands. 
There is no class involved. Just register for the test online, show up at Court Street, take 1 or 2 the same day, and get credits. It's total nonsense. I can't even believe it's allowed. I wish L.I. districts let you do that (I actually took a pay cut to work in LI because they don't take CLEP credits out here!).
