UC Berkeley is one with a lot of exciting offerings. You can stream a ton of their lectures -- basically audit any one of dozens of courses. I tried some of them while studying for CLEP Nat Sci, though, and found it frustrating. First, the sound and video quality are bad. It's hard to see, sometimes, hard to hear, and forget seeing visual aids or what they draw on the chalkboard. Not happening.
What's worse, though, is that you'd have to watch an awful lot of lectures to get the knowledge you need for the CLEP. A regular course just doesn't present the information in the condensed form in which you need it. There are much more efficient ways -- like books and Web sites. The best "passive" learning I've found yet is the Standard Deviants DVDs.
