For my higher level AP English Literature courses, I have had a lot of success using Yale Open Courses. These Yale courses are full courses that can be watched online and are completely open to the public. If a topic is applicable I try to show pertinent 10-15 minute segments from these in class. One of my favorite courses, is an intermediate level philosophy course on Death. This topic ties in with literature and helps to answer the perennial question of why do so many people die in literary works.
The following links are all from the Open Yale Course.
