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

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)

There are a few short videos of instructors, some short videos of people with disabilities using the Web, a fair bit of reading, a little discussion, some "knowledge checks". It's not long lectures. It's a lot like this short example course: edx.org/course/demox
