I was pleased to learn that BYU now provide a variety of free online courses through their distance learning program. These free independent study courses include topics in Family History, Family Life, and Religious Scripture Study, such as the Book of Mormon and the Doctrine and Covenants. There are some pretty specialized topics, such as FHFRA 77 — French Research: Alsace-Lorraine, or FHGER 73 — Germany: Jurisdictions, Gazetteers, and Maps. I signed up for a course myself.

Thanks to Walter Reade for bringing this to my attention.
