I've actually found that there are free college lectures on iTunes too that many times are a little better, but this site still is good

I had to take a calculus class to finally get my degree. This guy saved my ass, because I hadn't done calculus is like 15 years. I was soooo confused by his lectures, and I took the class in summer 6-week term. I was so scared I was going to fail and everyone in my class was complaining that he was a bad teacher. Well, I went to khan academy and I literally watched one of his 10 minute videos and understood. After spending hours listening to my professor, it was like the khan guy explained it in 10 minutes and I understood. I thought I got 100% on my first test, I understood it so well (I didn't, but it was from stupid mistakes).

DEFINITELY go to this guy's site. He is AMAZING. I got through calculus after not touching it for 15 years and scared shitless I would not pass.

Great thread - most of these sites were already in my favourites

They're all good for different things, but imo the best overall is Khan Academy. Especially for maths/finance.

Slightly different, but another site I like to use is TED. It's less about learning facts and more about interesting/inspirational speeches. Even has one by Salman Khan from Khan Academy.

How do these courses match up with the equivalent college courses?

Appreciate if someone with the experience and knowledge could write some sort of review.

Thanks.
