Options for Audio Learners? - tsukemono - 04-17-2017
Hi- I am starting this journey while I am employed full time from home (Plan: TESU ASBA to BA in Soc). I am desperate to use my non-work time away from the computer. This means my study materials/courses must be mobile. Are any of the major sites audio-friendly or heavy in videos? I haven't been successful in finding any companion apps for these sites- am I missing anything? I have found the Principals of Marketing app. Are there any android-compatible apps for these sites? If I can access/study from my cellphone, that is sufficient, though I'd love to find someway to learn/listen to courses or textbooks while out hiking, for example.
My apologies in advance if I missed this in my searches. I've been lurking for a month, this is my first post.

Study.com, you can download the videos for offline use.

I love iTunes University, I've listened to a lot of lectures on there.

I don't know if you'd want lectures, but MIT has a bunch of free mp3s of some of their lectures at ocw.mit.edu.
Hope this helps!

Thanks for the input. I am looking for audio that is specifically tailored or correlated with a testing service (saylor, shmoop, sl, clep, etc). I've listened to tons of lectures- this time I want them to help me get credit

Study.com would be it, then.

Online Courses & Lectures for Home Study and Lifelong Learning
expensive, but go on sale often
but even on sale you might think they're too much
some libraries will have them or can get them
the material varies in quality
I LOVE this series Theories of Human Development Prof. Watson-Social Science
used it for the CLEP lifespan developmental psychology

There aren't many audio/audiovisual specifically made for CLEP/DSST outside of Study.com. A few of the Instantcert flashcard sets are available as mp3 files, and those are specifically designed for CLEP/DSST. I watched a couple of Annenberg series that helped me past CLEPs, but those weren't specifically made for any tests. I have some other sources of study listed in my signature.

Study.com has a mobile app that not only allows studying and watching videos, but you can take the quizzes in there too. It's pretty slick.
