I know it's not https, but it is Google's course. It's linked to by a Google domain:

Well, it's not asking anything of anyone to view the content, so I guess even if it wasn't Google's, it's fine.

Pretty interesting. It's not specifically about Google. The content seems applicable to any web search engine.
