The course is well outlined, implemented, and carried out. The ideas a generalist so that it may apply to various scenarios but at the same time it allows the audience to strategize their own actions.

It is nice to know that educators are thinking of the future and dealing with the reality that a lot of the future is unwritten. Technology must be at the forefront as long as it is used for what it is intended.
