Milestone table - course overview
I revised the bullets describing what a course description should address so that all of the points are questions. I also added a point "How is the course structured?" Please revise if I've not characterised this info correctly.
Also, It seems to me that we could be more specific about the question "What's involved?"....does it mean what elements (e.g., modules, blog posts, readings, videos, etc.) are part of the course?

Agreed - better to state all the bullets as questions.
The format is loosely based on the OERu course descriptions (see for example the OCL4Ed course description.)
I removed the question about course structure - its too early in the design phase to respond meaningfully to the course structure. Drawing on my own experience, I typically give more thought to structure during the outline phase.
The "What's involved?" question is a bit ambiguous. Its intention is to give an overview of the mode of delivery and learning effort. For example: Learners will participate in a two-week open online course sharing experiences using social media technologies. Learners taking the course for academic credit will then prepare their final assignment for assessment.
