Dan Ariely's MOOC on Irrational Behavior (coursera) remains my favorite online course and one of the best overall.
The content was engaging. It included guest talks. The course didn't shy from hard work, including dozens of required and recommended papers. The curated papers were my favorite part. The course exposed me to an entire ecosystem that I was unaware of. Too many MOOCs are watered down but this one was just right.
My best advice is to create a course that management will resent open sourcing because it is so valuable. Demand autonomy and use it create a legacy.
I subscribed to this course. I also recommend Moralities of everyday life by Paul Bloom which I'm currently taking and it's great. A Beginner's Guide to Irrational Behavior[1] starts soon and from reviews it looks like a great course.
