As a follow-up to my message below last week about Coursera, I spotted the following in the latest ALT bulletin:
4.2 E-learning and Digital Cultures
E-learning and Digital Cultures is aimed at teachers, learning
technologists, and people with a general interest in education who want
to deepen their understanding of what it means to teach and learn in the
digital age. This free Edinburgh University course is one of the very
first from the UK to be offered in partnership with Stanford University
start-up Coursera.

Might be worth a bash?
Cheers
