I've looked at both courses....I think they both have fairly similar approaches except that there's more multimedia presentations of the course material in the Swinburne course... JCU's course, so far, has been more book based....however the disks that come with the books and the online material are very multimedia oriented.
I think with both courses, you get out of them what you put into them. There is a vast amount of material which is at your disposal, both bok based and multimedia based.
And....welcome to the course at JCU
