The National Humanities Center is rolling out new online classes. These are targeted towards teachers, but I think that anyone can take them.

I am just about to finish Digital Literacy in the Classroom. It has been a pretty good class.
Each class has a webinar component. Basically, you just login from anywhere and then a well-regarded university professor lectures on an interesting topic for 1.5 hours. You take a survey at the end and get a certificate. This certificate gets uploaded within the course. I have participated in a webinar about the Hiroshima bombing and a webinar about the Great Firewall of China. I think that they are great. Participants ask questions via the chat box.
Cal State Chico does transcript the webinars. When I am done with this class, I am going to send the info. over and try to get graduate credit. I will let you know how it goes.

Note: During the last webinar, the NHC announced that two new online classes would be available next semester.
