youtube also offers free online lectures.

If you are taking physics, look up Professor Walter Lewin from MIT, there should be three levels of physics maybe probably, but they are the best I found in that area out there.

I believe there are sites by stanford and other ivy leagues with the same intention in mind as MIT's opencourseware program.

A decade after MIT began to put its teaching materials and lectures online via the OpenCourseWare platform, the university has announced that it will leverage these materials to provide an online certification program, currently termed MITx. Although these certificates won't have the same weight as an MIT degree, they will indicate mastery of specific subject areas. The whole system will be built on top of an open-source software platform, which may enable other universities to follow in MIT's footsteps.

The system will provide a complete online learning environment, with labs and the possibility for interactions with other students. After completing a set of course materials, students will get the chance to demonstrate their mastery of the topic, presumably through a test or interactions with MIT staff. You'll have to pay for the resulting certificate, but the preliminary noises suggest that they'll be a whole lot cheaper than an MIT education. Both OpenCourseWare and the MITx teaching materials will remain free—it's just the certificate that will cost money.

The first test of the system will launch in the spring. Once the kinks are worked out, more courses will follow, and the underlying technology will be open sourced.

You will soon be able to get some sort of certificate if you successfully pass the course.
