I have questions:

You open several <course> tags, but only close once.  Did you intend to have an
implied close before each new opening?  

There's only one learner defined, is that right?

Style - is that supposed to be treated like a list of words, where people
might look for something like "If any of the matches in <learner>s style
are in the <style> of the <course>"?  Because if so, we could do this:

<styles>
 <style>Visual</style>
 <style>Auditory</style>
</styles>

as a way of getting a list of them in an easily parseable format.

A course has a style, yes?  I read that right?

Refresh my memory why a course has a name (given/family) associated with
it?  Does that represent a teacher?
