When we were looking at your course Howard, seemed perfectly fit, covering all basics of the framework, very well. Therefore, not much to comment on your question IMO since it's hard to improve something already very good.
However, I see a lot of value in offering an advanced course, focusing mostly around IOC container, analyzing and explaining Tapestry source code. Debugging the framework, and implementing advanced concepts, such composition over inheritance, custom annotations, etc etc.... Good example of practical material for such advanced course would be recent examples from Taha's blog.
