The above link from an old blog on this site will add OpenLearn and MIT's Open Courseware to the above.  Both are excellent and highly recommended.

From the FAQ - "Will I get university credit for taking this course? No."

I'll paste the full FAQ incase anyone is interested. (FAQ's are found at the bottom of each course, they may differ, I haven't checked)

• What is the format of the class?  The class will consist of lecture videos, which are broken into small  chunks, usually between eight and twelve minutes each. Some of these  may contain integrated quiz questions. There will also be standalone  quizzes that are not part of video lectures, and programming  assignments.
  
• Will the text of the lectures be available?  We hope to transcribe the lectures into text to make them more accessible for those not fluent in English. Stay tuned.
  
• Do I need to watch the lectures live?  No. You can watch the lectures at your leisure.
  
• Can online students ask questions and/or contact the professor?  Yes, but not directly. There is a Q&A forum in which students  rank  questions and answers, so that the most important questions and the  best answers bubble to the top. Teaching staff will monitor these  forums, so that important questions not answered by other students can  be addressed.
  
• Will other Berkeley resources be available to online students?  No.
  
• How much does it cost to take the course?  Nothing: it's free!
  
• Will I get university credit for taking this course?  No.
