A quick look through the syllabus shows that the last video is "NoSQL Systems". Nothing specific in the Course Materials though. Maybe an Intro to Databases class should talk a little more about other approaches such as document-oriented databases. I know they (academia) are sticking to classical CS, but maybe some parts of relational databases could be covered in a second class on databases, to make room for more exploration on other DB approaches in an intro class.

The video states that the course will be RDBMS-centric, but there will be forays into XML data.
