SlideRule is a hub collects info from other online learning resources. Provides you some "Learning Paths" on a specific area, e.g. Data Science, UX Design.

Don't forget this MIT one already exists for a long time.

Khanacademy is the one not limited to university-level courses. Haven't try this yet, but it's very famous.

These 2 are more a "tutorial" courses give you some skills mostly on computer related stuff (also some design, photography, and more.) And you need to pay some money to access the course.

Visualization Courses

Some visualization courses:

1. Information Visualization (Tamara Munzner@UBC)
http://www.cs.ubc.ca/~tmm/courses/547-14/
http://www.cs.ubc.ca/~tmm/courses/533-11/

Although there's no video archive provided, the syllabus has lots of materials for reading (papers, and videos link). Professor Tamara Munzner is also woking on her own visualization textbook, Visualization Analysis and Design, and will be available on Oct 2014. The book should be a nice thing to read.


2. Visualization (Hanspeter Pfister@Harvard)
http://www.cs171.org/

There's a video archive provided (very cool!). And that's already sufficient for me.


3. Introduction to Infographics & Data Visualization Course (Alberto Cairo)
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLa4VFIBUKrgLao-DalwedOCiq9RV6MPk9

This is a playlist for the course taught by Alberto Cairo (the author of The Functional Art). It's from the angle of the Journalism, but it also provide some insights about how to make good visualization.


* Visual Thinking for Design, Colin Ware (2008)
Every visualization expert has their own recommended books. Although there still no "classic" textbook on visualization, I found many people recommend reading this book. This book doesn't show all the knowledge about visualization, but it tells us how to make our brain fell happy with the visualization we are making.
