What online resources should I use to learn harmony and musical analysis?
I had some harmony courses and I want to learn some more about it.
Ideally, I am looking for is a KhanAcademy-like website about harmony and musical analysis. If that doesn't exist, where else should I go ?

Edward Sarath's Music Theory Through Improvisation is available online, thanks to google books. The subtitle of the book ("A New Approach to Musicianship Training") seems to address your situation directly. You may also find my posts about another book and about chord functions useful.
Coursera has some courses about music including this one: How music works. You have to enroll and you can only follow the course when it starts. No date is announced yet.
About the Course
Designed as a course for all students, regardless of background, “How
Music Works” is appropriate for anyone with a love of music and a
curiosity about how it functions. Prior experience with music is
welcome but not required, and music reading ability is not needed in
order to participate. Topics covered include: rudiments of musical
notation and analysis, psychoacoustics, meaning in music, and the
interaction of the basic building blocks of sonic art such as rhythm,
melody, and harmony. Activities include examinations of musical
examples from a variety of cultures and time periods, in-class music
making, and readings that address the techniques of musical creation
and the power and importance that music has in all human societies.
This site provides something Khan academy like: Dave Conservatoire.
Also, try searching for harmony treatises on IMSLP. They've got some good stuff like a short treatise on harmony by Peter Tchaikovsky.
