We are working on option(s) that don't have a 4-week limitation for the free course. We also plan to extend the current course. We will provide updates via tweet and via the WAI-announce e-mail list w3.org/WAI/IG/#mailinglist
(workaround for now is to use different e-mail address)

Correct, WCAG does not specify that captions are open or closed. We also do not suggest one over the other in w3.org/WAI/media/av/captions…
If you want to get input on this, you can send e-mail to the WAI Interest Group (IG) Discussion List – see: w3.org/wai/ig/#mailinglist
The Personalization Semantics Content Module 1.0 specification is ready for wide review: w3.org/TR/personalization-se… For a short introduction to personalization and the related documents, see the Personalization Overview w3.org/WAI/personalization/ - #a11y #w3c #personalization

Ditto.
(and thank you so much for considering promoting it!)
We have set that the course will be open through the end of April, at least. It's designed for about 20 hours of work. Thus, we can still promote the course in the coming days, after things are in better shape.
(I sent you direct messages. We expect to have updated info announced in the next day or two. ~Shawn)
