Then there is MITx:  http://mitx.mit.edu/ - read about it here: http://mitx.mit.edu/mitx-overview.html -- MITx grants credentials (certificate of completion) which is a step beyond the 10-year old OpenCourseWare http://ocw.mit.edu/index.htm and now has 2000 courses online (but without credentialing).
