Stanford university is offering 3 free online courses starting in October. While you don't get official Stanford credit for completing these courses, you do get a special certificate from the course instructors saying you completed the course and your grade.

Machine Learning: http://www.ml-class.com/
Databases: http://www.db-class.org/
Personally I'm going to be doing the AI one, and maybe the ML one if my workload from my real university courses and part time job isn't too great. Although I've already taken a course in machine learning and am currently taking one in data mining, so there probably isn't a lot in the ML one that I don't already know. I've always hated databases, so haven't even considered that one!
Are you guys going to be trying any of these?
