This looks it could be a really good course. I have had success using DrRacket and teaching programming using images, animations and sounds. You can introduce difficult topics easily and this approach appeals to a certain type of student who has difficulty with a more "academic" approach. I am going to keep my eye on this course and see what the outcomes are. One area of concern is the need for Apple hardware. DrRacket is nice in that it can run on a variety of devices, including older linux and Windows PCs that can be inexpensive.
