Literature lecture video courses at learners TV
I recently found these great lecture series at Learners TV.
I think I am most impressed by the literature lectures. Literature is one area that is hard to find online. There are lecture series that cover Milton, American Novels, British Literature, Magical Realism, Restoration, Latin American History through the Novel, Nobel Prize Winners, Novel Development, 18th Century British Lit, and Cervantes Don Quixote. You can create a years literature program from any of these lecture series that have 24 to 41 lectures of 45+ minutes in each unit.

Learn Languages with Youtube
This blog compiles youtube videos into free language lessons. This is not a full curriculum, and looks to be under construction, but it is certainly a great start and a fun supplement.

Teacher Tube, educational videos
I just stumbled upon teacher tube... It's like youtube for teachers and students
Some of the videos are more educational than others, but it is worth checking it out.
TeacherTube was the idea of Jason Smith, a 14-year veteran educator. Jason has been a teacher, coach, campus administrator and district administrator in public schools. He asked the question, "Why can't teachers, students, and schools utilize the power of the read/write web for learning?" To overcome barriers, he decided to just create a site and get started trying to help. He turned to his brother, Adam, who is a younger, digital native, with technical skills. Adam used his skills to develop the site and found a web host. Soon, Jason's wife, Jodie, joined the team to start populating the site with videos and help improve the communication. She too has 14 years of experience in education as a classroom teacher, campus technology integrator, and district curriculum coordinator.
Some of the videos are more educational than others, but it is worth checking it out.
Khan Academy UPDATE
I recently gave information about Khan Academy, but now that I have looked at it further, I have to comment again... IT IS THAT GOOD!
Khan Academy delivers math and finance tutorials through Youtube videos. It is well detailed and my kids say it is very easy to follow. In addition to that, they have a free, adaptive math program available here. I can't believe this is free. I spent 2 hours on the site today, just testing myself and could not stop. The site finds your level and fills your learning gaps. Plus it progresses you through math seamlessly.
I plan to use this program this year AND make a few donations!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Another update 9/24/09
My kids have been using and enjoying this program for 3 months. Because of the way the program moves students can fly through concepts too quickly. This means they may be able to finish a unit but have not spent enough time in it to rememeber the concepts long term.
My suggestion is that you purchase a workbooks... basic math, pre algebra, algebra 2, geometry to go along with the lessons so give them extra practice and to test for long term retention. (You can also print worksheets from free worksheet websites)
Otherwise this program is excellent especially for test prep and relearning concepts.

American History on Video
This program is for college and highschool students and consists of 26 half-hour videos.
A Biography of America presents history not simply as a series of irrefutable facts to be memorized, but as a living narrative. Prominent historians -- Donald L. Miller, Pauline Maier, Louis P. Masur, Waldo E. Martin, Jr., Douglas Brinkley, and Virginia Scharff -- present America's story as something that is best understood from a variety of perspectives. Thought-provoking debates and lectures encourage critical analysis of the forces that have shaped America. First-person narratives, photos, film footage, and documents reveal the human side of American history -- how historical figures affected events, and the impact of these events on citizens' lives.
