I am fond of Stanford's online classes appeared after ai-class.org project. Now I am going through Udacity's CS101 Building Search Engine taught by David Evans, Natural Language Processing by Dan Jurafsky and Chris Manning, as well as Chuck Eesley's Venture Lab devoted to Technology Enterpreneurship.
All of these classes include - video lectures, online quizzes and homeworks. Udacity class is perfect for beginners in programming and computer science. It tells what a computer is , what is memory, what is gigahertz, how to write simple code in Python, how to build different data structures and so on. I like that this is a goal-driven course - and you'll get your own web search engine by the end of this class. The second, NLP class, has been delayed twice for about two months, but finally it has started. There's also python homeworks there, but the most valuable is good theoretical review on language modelling and focusing on building of simple, but working applications - data-scraping, language-modelling and so on. The latter class has not started yet, but Chuck promises a lots of teamwork and practical assignments for the future brins and zuckerbergs.
