I've been teaching interactive design for 15 years at the University level, and one thing that has remained the same, is that the industry and code standards are always changing. My syllabus changes yearly. The same goes for the way we handle typography on the web. So, I have to keep up to date in order to make sure my teaching stays relevant.

Good typography is ultimately about designing a great reading experience. The best practices for typography are mostly the same across different mediums, however the way we apply it and make it work varies. Pages on the web deserve harmony no matter what device you're reading it on.

I'm always looking for courses to keep me up on my game. Although most of these combine web application with typography fundamentals, the courses focus on one area of web type; web fonts, web layout, responsive typography, font stacks, media queries, proportion, rendering and more. Here's a few I've found helpful.
