Interesting,
I overlooked the ‘online’ part of your original post.
If you don’t mind, I’d love to know some details of how your course works. I’d also be interested in the “basic” kit you end up choosing. Are you planning on the kit being daylight temp? What type of open face lamps?
What do you see as a budget for this kit per student? How much for the course? How will you evaluate student work? Will they direct/videotape what they light or be LD or DP on local productions? I’m thinking the camera being used will vary the lighting choices/results. Are they going to be one-person crews?
Here’s a couple of links

I too have used the Teleprompters from the teleprompter people and I think they make good stuff for the price point. They have very good customer support and have received good reviews for some of their light products. So they might be an option. Never used their lights though.
