TL;DR Summary: Are there any online analog electronics courses through recommended where I can go at my own pace? I would like something like Coursera.

I am a recent graduate with a background in power electronics. I am starting to do more analog electronics which I an not really familiar with. I am hoping to find an online course through somewhere like coursera or somewhere else so I can learn it at my own pace. I'm sure I could get a book and go through it on my own, but I find having a course where someone explains things is much more effective for me. I'd prefer something free, but I'm willing to pay for it too. Id rather not have to wait to enroll to audit a university course as I would have to wait over 6 months for the next start date.

I'm hoping to learn more about op amps, transistors, circuits for measurements and feedback, current mirrors and their use, etc. These are just things off the top of my head to hopefully help understand what I am looking for.
