I recommend you shoot videos for this course on a smartphone, because the quality of most smartphones is good, you're probably comfortable using it, and it's the camera that you will have on you most of the time.
You will need plenty of storage for this course - you'll be shooting one short film per day for several months. If your phone has limited memory, there are several ways to deal with this:
Filmic Pro
app for iOS / Android (paid), offers highly controlled shooting filmicpro.com
Hyperlapse from Instagram
app for iOS (free), allows shooting of stabilised time-lapses https://hyperlapse.instagram.com
Microsoft Hyperlapse Mobile
app for Android (free), allows shooting of stabilised time-lapses play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.microsoft.hyperlapsemobile&hl=en
iMovie

DaVinci Resolve
Mac/Windows/Linux (free), professional-grade video editing suite blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve
FFmpeg
All computer platforms (free). A Swiss Army knife for formatting, splicing, converting video and audio files. Works via the command-line interface (e.g. Terminal on Mac) but is incredibly powerful. Want to split audio and video? Make a long video from lots of short videos? Extract all of the frames from a film? Use FFmpeg. ffmpeg.org
