Did you know that HP offers 22 free digital photography courses at www.hp.com.go.learningcenter? You can access these short courses anytime 24/7. The lessons include short quizzes and assignments. Some "quick lessons" are only one page long, but most appear to be 4 lessons long. You can take each lesson separately or download a pdf file which contains all four lessons. There is a forum where you can ask questions of "experts", but I've seen much better forum layouts on other sites. (Actually, the HP forums used to be better.)
HP also has a Digital Photography Center where they'll try to sell you HP stuff, but it has some good tips for the amateur photographer. For a sample, check out the Basic Photo Composition tips or Focal Points. And if you like DIY, explore the Creative Studio.
Their other free courses include Microsoft Office and Adobe, Home Office, PC Maintenance & Security, Business Basics, and IT Professionals.
11/18/11 update: Wouldn't you know it? Shortly after I posted this, HP sent me an email announcing they are re-designing their Learning Center and the courses will be unavailable until December 19th.
01/29/12 update: The HP Learning Center is now re-opened. It probably re-opened in December but I forgot to check. They have 8 Digital Photography classes and other related classes such as Creative Gifts to Make from Photographs
