I agree that your list is heavy on video production.  IMHO, there should
be a class on CD-ROM production (there are some considerations for this
medium that need to be addressed).  There should also be a class on the
theory of when to use the different media (animation vs. full video, for
example), although "Interactive Communication System Design" may already
be covering that.  There should probably also be a class on
Instructional Design (you could pull it from the School of Education, or
a reasonable equivalent thereof).

That's all I can come up with off the top of my head, but if I think of
anything else, I'll let you know.
