Jewish Source: There is an online program called Pirchei Shoshanim. You can find them online; just google “Pirchei Shoshanim” or “Shulchan Aruch Project.” They have programs of organized written shiurim covering just about every part of Shulchan Aruch. The program is geared towards the smicha exams given by the Rabbanut in Israel, which are known to be some of the most difficult tests around.
A word of caution: I think that if used as a crutch or as a replacement for quality learning of the Tur, Bais Yosef, Gemaros, Rishonim, Shulchan Aruch, and nosei keilim, the program can be really problematic. Like learning Gemarah exclusively with an Artscroll, you will learn a lot of information (which is good in itself, don’t get me wrong) but will not really know how to learn the material properly on your own, or how to reason to a practical psak. I am therefore supplementing the program’s shiurim with my own extensive learning of relevant shailos and teshuvos, and by listening to a very major set of shiurim given by a huge talmid chacham on issues of halachik reasoning and how to paskin.
