I've just about finished a short course on 'Shipwrecks and Submerged Worlds'. This was a 4 week on-line course run by the University of Southampton via the 'Future Learn' organisation owned by the Open University. This was a free course of about 3 hours a week, all you had to do was register. It consisted of short videos and some text reading with lots of links to associated material. It covered Maritime Archaeology as well. I can say that it was/is (I have about an hour to do) a fascinating course. I have done some others as well, up to 8 weeks, 3 hours a week.
