Getting data into a template How do I add data into a table into my node--course.tpl.php?

I would like to mimic the table on this page where it has course ID and info:
http://cie.austin.utexas.edu/uex-cm/courses/acc-310f-foundations-accounting-online


to look like this:
http://uex.webhost.utexas.edu/coursedetails.cfm?OutID=3040


Should I use a view or a block?
For the first image if its content type you can create a view of that content type with fields 
as shown in the table.
