It pains me to see pages like this. Someone has spent ages making this long list by hand, then it's put up as a long blog post. No way to filter by anything .... can we have it as machine workable Open Data please!

Also, think about ways to allow other people to contribute to the list so that the work of keeping it up to date is shared out and not on just a few people.

Actually, it wasn't generated by hand. I/Class Central generated it for OpenCulture. Here is a more comprehensive list, with filtering: https://www.classcentral.com/starting-this-month
That is a cool site! Good work.

Out of curiosity, where does the data come from and how do you make sure it's kept up to date? And is your data Open Data?

Thanks! We have scrapers running daily for all the major providers. The rest we collect manually on a schedule. We have been around for a while, so in many cases the providers or instructors reach out to us directly. Sorry, but it is not open data.
