MorningStar.com Classroom
Their courses covers almost everything you would ever need to know about investing, from the basics to advanced techniques. And the courses are conveniently short (averaging about 10 minutes). You take a short quiz at the end of each course, to make sure you retain what you have read.

Motley Fool's Fool School
This is my favourite resource on the web. The gentlemen over at Motley Fool have all their ducks in a row. They have 13 steps to investing, that are very informative and insightful.

Fundamentals of Personal Financial Planning (University of California, Irvine)
The course was created to help those who cannot afford extensive planning assistance better understand how to define and reach their financial goals. It provides basic understanding so informed decisions can be made. The course can also be seen as a reference for individual topics that are part of personal financial planning.
Financial planning, in the broadest sense, is an effort to manage all aspects of a person / family’s financial affairs. Classically, that begins with planning family spending and extends through risk management (insurance), taxes, wealth accumulation, investing, and wealth distribution (retirement and estate planning).
