Enjoyed learning Map Kit with Stephan Dowless. Perhaps an update video for adding more to the Input view, for each item of interest: photo, icons, video. I think that would be a great extension to this course.

Good presentation style, I liked how Stephen figured some things out as he went along. Would recommend to get a good introduction to Map Kit. Only downside was volume of microphone, needs to go up a bit.
