I'm taking next semester off to work full time (to save up a bit for school) but I'm going to try to do a few online courses anyways. I've done one through Athabasca, and is was fairly good, but the price was the exact same as a regular course.

Does anyone know of any decent online university courses that offer a bit of a discount over traditional courses (ie less than $800)?

I've been taking Coursera classes. It's free, but you don't get any accreditation (there's a ~$50 "signature track" that will verify your identity, but it's not a university credit). Since I already have my degree, that doesn't really matter.

I don't have experience with taking online classes as a part of accredited degree.

Okay, well I'm less concerned with taking courses for my own learning. Most of what I currently encounter (and have seen in 4th year) I've come across before, I'm mostly just trying to get my degree, but am unable to afford it.
