Work your way through any and all of the tutorials on the web and youtube for free.
1 you will get to know your camera
2 you will learn to think 'out of the box'
3 you will get a lot of unusual and great images.
Then look at composition (rules of)
Try not to get bogged down with technicalities....if in doubt Take your picture by using Auto.
you are at the beginning of a lifetime of learning and enjoyment - don't spoil it by getting frustrated...take your time.
It is supposed to be fun!!!

I FOUND MIKE BROWN TO BE A VERY INFORMATIVE PHOTO TUTORIAL SITE. ANTHONY MORGANTI IS ALSO VERY GOOD. FRONOSPHOTO IS EDGY AND GOOD. I TEACH PHOTOGRAPHY AND OFTEN REFER MY STUDENTS TO THESE SITES.
Nice to see an American has recommended free videos by an Englishman !

The best thing I like about Mike Brown's tutorials is that he tells you his thought process as he is taking his pictures, and when he is working on them in post process.
Can I ask, Bmike why you are considering only On-Line courses? Do you have a college or community college in your area? Camera Clubs? etc. Usually they offer some really great photography courses and you get to meet lots of fellow photographers that you can do learning projects with.
Just a thought! Good luck with whatever you decide to do.
