Great, useful information. It would be much enhanced if we could hear the narrators voice, but be viewing the sites firsthand from his screen.

Outdated info, dinging noise in the background (texts, email?) was super distracting.

I think that this course gives teachers a lot of useful tools in a short time frame that I/we can then go and investigate on our own. It is the short and sweet version.
