Learn computational chemistry from Chris Cramer

Chris Cramer's Essentials of Computational Chemistry is one of the most popular textbooks on the topic.  He has just started teaching Computational Chemistry (CHEM 4021/8021), but this time he is making video presentations of his lectures!

Chris is also active on twitter and I can highly recommend you follow him for a nearly daily dose of witty comment.
