Anyone have any recommendations for linear algebra courses through Coursera or similar sites? It is a subject I've always been fascinated by but my self-directed learning endeavours have not yielded much usable knowledge.

MIT OCW has 18.06 Linear Algebra including lectures by Strang.

I agree, it's very useful. He gives nice explanations of some of the decompositions and why they're useful.
Ruslan Sharipov wrote a text on the subject : http://arxiv.org/pdf/math/0405323v1.pdf
It is very good and explains all the proofs and definitions very well.
