Kodak has a Tips and Project Center, rather than an actual photo course. It is heavily commercial as you would expect, but again, it is free information if you are still looking for free online photography courses. It is fairly basic but does cover many areas and provides many photographs to illustrate the point. Good browsing material.

There is sufficient (free) information on offer here to keep you occupied for some time. Another of the few free online photography courses available. Please post if you find some more.

Here is their intro paragraph:

The last month or so we’ve added so many digitial photography tutorials that I thought it was important to make a page that pulls them all together. I guess it can be thought of as a free online digital photography course. The technical side of the photography tutorials are useful for those with SLR digital cameras. For example, what is shutter speed, what’s the difference between a fast or slow lens, and bulb modes explained. However lessons that discuss composition tips, lomography and travel photography could suit everyone, including those with compact point and shoot cameras. I will be adding tutorials to this free photography course weekly so check back often.

Again, I cannot recommend this course, one of the few free online photography courses, as I haven’t completed it. But on the outside, it seems to have all the basics there. It is well constructed with plenty of photographic and diagrammatic examples and illustrations. Importantly, it gets you going, providing homework with every topic.

The site is called Digital Photography School and the course, Photography 101 – A Basic Course on the Camera. The best thing about this course is its price, worth a look!

Consumer-oriented digital cameras offer a whole new set of features not found in film-based cameras, as well as new opportunities to edit and modify images. After explaining how digital cameras work and what to look for when buying one, this online photography course clarifies features like image size and compression, white balance, and special shooting modes. You’ll also learn how to transfer digital files to your computer, edit them using photo editing software, print them, and burn them to CDs.
