He's allowing his lectures and assignments to be posted online, and the site basically lets people follow along at home, submitting sections of the piece they write for the class. Good way to gain some critiques, and he's got a good many interesting things to say about the processes of writing genre fiction. Be advised Sanderson isn't participating in the online portion, but those lectures have some good stuff, and I've received a few valuable critiques.

That's so exciting. I just recently discovered Sanderson. ... For those who don't know much about him he also does a podcast with a couple of other authors: http://www.writingexcuses.com/
I found a lot of stuff from them increadibly usefull.

I'm watching Lecture 2 now. So far it's been stuff I know... But that's because I've been listening to Writing Excuses and writing for a few years now.

Yeah, I watched last year's lecture series, so I've not seen a lot of new material, but it's serving as a source of useful reminders. Now, the website does have a handy peer-critique format I've gotten some useful feedback on, so even if one just listens to the lectures with half an ear to refresh the memory, those critiques are pretty handy.
