I am quite fond of the three molecular biology courses from MIT on edx [1][2][3]. Not only are the lectures great, but they also have spaced repetition built in. The exercises are often great counterfactual questions that encourage deep understanding.

Edx should be promoted around the world as the greatest gift the internet delivered!

It was before they sold it to 2U. Such a shame what it has turned into.
