"A survey of the government, social organization, cultural and religious experience of the English people.

"It is a course with a broad sweep. It begins with Roman law and ends with the great codifications of the nineteenth century in Europe: The Code Napoléon and the Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch of the European civil law. The purpose of the course is to introduce you to the four great legal traditions of the Western European tradition: Roman law, the Ius commune, English Common Law, and the Civil law tradition."

"The seminar will explore the world of Innocent III and his his contribution to the development of papal monarchy. We will examine the material remains of his pontificate and his life: his letters, sermons, treatises.

"This Lecture Course examines the Crusading Movement and the States it produced from the eleventh century to the fall of the mainland Kingdom of Jerusalem in 1292. Central themes include but are not limited to the following: the Medieval Conquest, Settlement & Loss by Europeans of "Latin" lands in the Mid-East, the associated history of the Church and its contextual intellectual history, political narrative and military history, social and economic analysis, together with the conflict of cultures and religions during a formative period in Western Civilization."

Definitely the place to big one's look into the Crusades. Even though the course is for students at Boise State University, most of the material of open for viewing. An excellent example not only of a site dedicated to the Crusades, but also of how a course can be made to work on-line.
