Sadly, there is no KhanAcademy for BayesNet. I learned a lot about Bayesian network, using those three source above:

1. book "Bayesian AI": http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/bai/book/about.php

2. 3hour advanced videotutorial: http://videolectures.net/kdd07_neapolitan_lbn/

3. finally Google scholar: http://scholar.google.fi/scholar?hl=en&q=bayesian+networ...

ps: Nice article: "Bayesian Networks without tears" by Eugene Charniak: http://www.aaai.org/ojs/index.php/aimagazine/article/view/91...

To get grounded in AI buy Russell and Norvig's AI text http://aima.cs.berkeley.edu/ They also cover Bayes Nets - btw just remember that at its heart, the Bayes Net is just a compact way to write/represent a joint distribution. Good Luck
