If you haven't yet signed up for any online courses from any of the reputable institutions offering them (Stanford, Harvard, MIT, just to name a few), I wholeheartedly encourage you to consider taking a course through Coursera. Coursera recently won "Best New Startup of 2012" from the Tech 2012 Crunchies. According to a Tech Crunch article, "Coursera has opened up access to proprietary content, with over 200 courses from over 33 top international and domestic schools like Stanford and Princeton, and is one of the bright points of light pointing towards value and job creation in the creative space."
While over two million students have at some point taken a Coursera course, there are still some controversies. For example, it remains to be seen whether the universities will continue to let Coursera proliferate with their intellectual property. And its main criticism is that the company currently has no clear way to monetize.

I recently signed up for "A Beginner's Guide to Irrational Behavior." It is taught by Dan Ariely of Duke University and the subject matter is something that I'm incredibly interested in.
