I'm looking for different computer courses to use as free electives, or even possibly use as credits on a natural science/math degree (if I go down that path) but mainly to use as free electives because I enjoy doing computer/tech courses the most.
I have already completed the TEEX courses and had them sent to ACE, I have also done the Saylor intro course, I noticed one C++ programming course on Straighterline, and there is a Computer Aplications course at Penn Foster but I don't know if it will duplicate with the Saylor course?
Are there any other options online? I cannot do CLEP or DSST testing because of my location, so it needs to be online only.

Goal: Complete Gen Ed. requirements.

You can take TECEPs at home through ProctorU.

I think the computer application course at PF is transcribed as a CAP course. If it's not, then it's probably CIS-107. The Saylor course is COS-101.
Javaonline.org offers NCCRS-approved courses. You have to take a proctored exam at a Sylvan or Prometric center.

KCTCS Learn on Demand is an option for online self-paced computer courses. They offer quite a few networking and security courses. The cost runs $500 - $800 per course which includes an electronic version of the textbook. The two courses I took used Cengage materials, so the content is hit and miss. I am not a huge fan of Cengage since their test banks include questions based on strange wording in the textbook rather than knowledge of the materials. Their exams are not proctored, so you won't have to worry about finding one. Just be aware that the application process is needlessly complicated compared to online providers like BYU.

I'm assuming the OP is looking for something that is worth college credit. Most of these courses aren't from accredited institutions, offered for college credit, or NCCRS/ACE approved.

Yes I am looking for college credit courses, but thank you for the link anyway.
The CIS 107 TECEP looks straightforward, I will add that to my list thanks.
$500-$800 is a little more than I would like to pay for free electives, do you know if any of the courses are considered upper level and can be used for a Natural Science degree from TESC? I noticed they are all 100-200 level.

KCTCS is a community college system. They won't count as upper level. You are going to be hard pressed to find actually courses for less than what KCTCS charges. You might want to have a look at Fort Hays State University. They are comparable in price but have upper level courses.
