Re: Where to learn shit.... for free.
http://academicearth.org/subjects/ - Large numbers of lectures and entire courses from top universities on a whole range of subjects. I've got through three and a half courses in the last year. They're actually hosted on youtube so you can watch them directly there if you prefer.
And I've also started learning C++ mostly from here:

A book is a version of the world. If you do not like it, ignore it; or offer your own version in return.

Re: Where to learn shit.... for free.
I am absolutely loving this course. Human Behavioural Biology.
I've only gone through the first four lectures so far - evolutionary and molecular biology - and I never went beyond GCSE in biology before, so it's not surprising that I'm learning so many new things out of it. It's all very lies-to-children so far, but that makes it very accessible while also giving a good impression of the depth and complexity beyond. And I love the professor's lecturing style - he's just constantly talking like it's an epic story, but also regularly reviewing and tying in what he's said previously making it very easy to rememberer.

How about free online courses here.
