Pete Suber has quite a lot from his courses online, which may be helpful.
A site with some tutorials at the University of Oxford might be good on introductory stuff. But tableaus are not something we are going to get into, so skip that.
Several websites have lists of fallacies, often many more than we have in our textbook. One such site is The Secular Web, which has a link to a list at The Nizkor Project.
Another good fallacy site is The Fallacy Files. One of the links in the Sources and Resources section of this site is broken, but worth reading. It is a piece by Dave Barry: How to Win Arguments, As It Were, which I found at this location. Very funny. And the fallacies of fallacies at Logical Fallacies is pretty funny too, if you know your fallacies. Logician have a wicked sense of humor!
A transcript of the Monty Python "Argument Clinic" maybe worth a look.
Mushrooms! Mushroom eyes!
Of course, the difficulty is that every teacher of logic seems to approach the subject differently, so that what you find on the web may not be useful or worse can be confusing. Don't be confused. If a web page uses unfamiliar terms and symbols, or explores different areas of logic, you can ignore them. Be selective if you are searching for help online. Or better yet, visit your instructor during office hours!
Stay tuned for further additions!
