Recently I completed the course Pattern Discovery in Data Mining – by University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, in Coursera.
It was interesting but had a fair theoretical slant. Still, I learned about a lot of algorithms I was not aware about before in the area.
The course is free (you only pay US$50 if you want a certificate, but it doesn't likely to be useful to me), and part of a larger specialization sequence in Data Mining, which seems to have more practical courses.
Coursera was pretty good as usual. I particularly like their iPad app, which allows you to download, speed up videos (quite useful in this case) and has full closed caption support.
Recommended to people interested in the area.
