Netskills have 'Internet Detective' (They say: "Internet Detective is an
interactive, online tutorial which provides an introduction to the issues of
information quality on the Internet and teaches the skills required to
evaluate critically the quality of an Internet resource."). Free and you can
do it in chunks by choosing a username for yourself (no personal details
required).
