The digital footprint section is a touch dry. It could be enhanced with an interactive case study that uses the theory provided (charts, graphs, datasets, readings etc.) as backups... the focus instead being to apply the information to an actual potential default sitiuation for a person or group and how information is layered to arrive at default likelihood and potential interest rates being offered based on that default lieklihood.

The course is very good and interesting, but at the same time quite complex. I would suggest to utilizie slightly shorter texts to make it easier to understand , and also placing all material directly on the platform so there's no need to open external links.
