Presented by Pat Pattison from Berklee College of Music, I started the course thinking who is this guy? By the end I was hanging off his every word. Even if you've never thought of writing a song it opens your eyes to the talent (and tricks!) in the music business.
I would have to say anything on KhanAcademy. Sal Khan just does an incredible job of explaining things. I particularly like his statistics course as a good primer into stats or if you need to quickly brush up on the subject

Can anyone recommend a bioinformatics course (esp. an intro level one)?
The Hardware/Software Interface: https://www.coursera.org/course/hwswinterface
It's an awesome course that introduces one to the electronics that goes behind modern day computers and smartphones. It really helped me understand how things work and what questions to ask.
I haven't taken many online courses, but here are my favorites (notice a trend): Andrew Ng's ML Class - This makes the list because it is incredibly useful. I didn't have much background in the field and this class is a practical survey of ideas. Not a ton of depth, but exposes you to a lot of information gently. Daphne Koller's PGM Class - This was the most rewarding. I banged my head on a lot of this material, but…
Its a paid online business course by Harvard Business School with 3 modules - Business Analytics, Economics for Managers, Financial Accounting
Material is not super challenging (maybe except for Accounting), but its still a lot of work and very rewarding. There is a strong social element to the course because they incentivize students to ask and answer each other's questions. At the end of it, you have to go to a testing centre and give a 3 hour exam on everything they have taught you. I finished this course a few months ago and really enjoyed the material and all the people I met through it. Highly recommend!
Abstract Algebra by Benedict Gross from the Harvard Extension School.

It's not technical but the best I've taken so far is Songwriting on Coursera: https://www.coursera.org/learn/songwriting Presented by Pat Pattison from Berklee College of Music, I started the course thinking who is this guy?

Dr. Strang's linear algebra course is absolutely amazing: http://web.mit.edu/18.06/www/videos.shtml https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilbert_Strang
