I took that class last year and enjoyed it a lot. It unfortunately is very short and therefore only covers the very basics of maps and GIS. Given the lack of alternative MOOCs on that topic, however, it is better than nothing. Oh, and even though the course projects all use ESRI/ARC, OSM and HOT do come up during the course.
