Welcome Grant,
Good choice of scope, before spending more money on eyepieces consider the options you would like to do for the future (visual or Astro-photography or both). You have so far made the right decision and gone the right path to a long term enjoyment of astronomy.
Education wise are you interested in future path or a matter of interest.
Swinburne offer 6 week online course in beginner astronomy online, although when I started my University course I noticed that the University here offers Astronomy 101 and Planetary Science 101 which is open to the general public limited by number of enrollments. Maybe your local Universities can produce the same courses.
