This is one from Yale University: Principles of Evolution, Ecology and Behavior | Open Yale Courses

It includes 36 lectures of about 45 minutes apiece covering the course material. That's about 27 hours(!) of lecture material. There is also the course syllabus, tests w/ answer keys and full transcripts of the lecture material available.

Unlike the prior course I posted, this isn't a "live" course (i.e. there is no registration or anything). Rather it is the 2009 edition of the course.

Worth a look for anyone wanting to learn about the subject of biological evolution.

I greatly enjoyed a 'podcasted' Yale course on the Old Testament. Excellent and free.

Also a Berkeley course called "Man, God, & Society in Western Literature". Amazing culmination with 5 or so lectures on Moby Dick.

A real course on evolution could really help this place out.

Indeed. Last time I posted a free course listing, I cheekily suggested creationists give it a whirl. The responses I received were amusing. ;)

I often wonder why many atheists and agnostics have taken the time to study the Bible, yet very few Creationists have made a serious attempt to understand evolution.

Thank you for the link. I have massive gaps in my own knowledge base. The course may fill a few.
