Ideas2

The first Ideas page was where we captured ideas for the creation of this course. We didn't want to lose that information, but most of the page is now info we've captured in the heart of the course. We're keeping it for documentation. This page is where we will capture new ideas for the course now that it's developed. What are improvements, new things we want to add to/change in this course? toc
