Hi Anthony,
As per emails below, you can see that people have been talking about
your "Maps and the Geospatial Revolution" course within the Open Source
Geospatial communities.
Are you aware of the OSGeo-Live USB/DVD/Virtual Machine?
http://live.osgeo.org
OSGeo-Live provides a distribution of 50 of the best Geospatial Open
Source applications all preinstalled and configured with sample data,
ready for use in courses such as yours. It also includes Project
Overviews and Quickstarts for all these applications:
http://live.osgeo.org/en/overview/overview.html
I'm CCing the OSGeo Education email list, which are also doing great
things. In particular, they have been building up a network of Open
Source Geospatial Labs within Universities around the world.

Myself and two colleagues are currently running a (mini)MOOC on
geospatial technology. We are using QGIS for two of the labs and
indiemapper for two of the labs We chose QGIS because we wanted to
keep the 'Open' in MOOC truly open. indiemapper is not open source,
but it is free to use and there is no push for signing up for accounts
or paying for services, so we think maybe it is little 'o' open :)
Anyway, if interested, view

Thanks for sharing
It's funny that this course relies only on a privative online mapping
platform, with the massive amount of free software and data resources
for learning available out there. I'd love to see a Coursera/or any
other MOOC using OSGeo Live!!
Cheers
