I tried the Coursera Cryptography class earlier this year. The pace was quite brisk and the material was somewhat demanding—I’d recommend at least first year university mathematics. It was fairly well presented and quite interesting, and it showed a degree of polish better than Sebastian Thrun’s / Peter Norvig’s original AI class last year.
I had to drop out after about three weeks because I couldn’t handle it along with my actual uni course, but I’m thinking of starting it again soon.
