Twice in 24 hours I've seen people say they could teach "but I'm not in ______." Both teachers and students are quite used to screensharing and video conferencing as a way to get commercial webinars, professional training, etc. Why not remove this small barrier?

Is there a search function for different kind of classes? If no, would you please add one? Thanks!

hey rahmin -

currently i get emails every time:
- someone joins a class
- anyone comments on a class

it would be great if i could turn these off. FYI, what i would like to continue getting emails for is:
- if the teacher comments on a class
- if the class has a time, date, and location set

cheers

i wanna know who's teachign a class!

no delete - FAIL ;)

Regions are annoying. You have San Franciso, CA as a location, but I am not going to travel there.

I should be able to type in my zip code and see stuff near me.

There are free geolocation DBs on sourceforge, and the calculations for distance are pretty simple.

This is the main reason I am not continuing with this site.

why cant you cancel your account?. users should have that option if they dont want to receive all the email updates or decide they dont like the service

I don't want to have to change from Wichita to my metro area every time I search or log in.

to create a draft version of the class, bio and other items.

Those can then be reviewed & edited before publishing live to site.

Especially good for co-teaching

It would be valuable to a teacher to be able to post a question or two to students prior to the class like "Name one thing you are looking to gain from this class" or "Which APIs are you interested in learning?"

Based on the answers the teacher can then adjust their lesson to maximize value for the students.

Archive classes that have already happened by location, teacher, and subject. Past classes can be viewed to help make cloning content easier, improving on old classes, and viewing class content that has been posted elsewhere by letting the organizer create links (e.g., blogposts, Youtube videos, a Flickr stream, etc.). This maintains class continuity and allows recycling of quality content forward to help improve upon it.

I am not willing to teach at this point, but i have enough knowledge to be able to teach.

e.g. with enough critical mass of these people, a group discussion/teach could be organized or someone eventually will step up from the "i am knowledgable" phase to the "i am willing" to teach stage.

When a user unchecks the "Tweet my comment" box, they may just want to suppress Tweeting for that comment, but it seems more likely that they just don't want to tweet comments, ever. So how about setting a cookie that stores that preference and don't check that box by default when the user's unchecked it? Having to remember to uncheck the box and being involuntarily thrown into a Twitter page is making me not want to comment as much.

So the un-class concept doesn't look like another flash in the pan

I'm a new user in Barcelona and we'd really like to offer the option to change the page into Spanish. Possible? I see that the forum has several language options but the main unclasses page does not. I'd be happy to do the translating myself in order to make it happen.

Would it be possible to create classes with only the location name and not the zip? Or to indicate what country you are in? When I enter my zip to create new workshops, I end up in NJ...I discovered that if I type "Barcelona" into the zip spot it will let me create the class, but I fear that other novice users will just assume that they can't create workshops.

add field for class size.

it can be loose or strict. if it's strict, the class is automatically cloned (without a teacher) so that more people can announce their wanting to be in such a class.

so...essentially, classes can get 'full' and the teacher can dictate class size when they sign up as a teacher.

on small monitor (like my laptop) the GUI is skewed when long name is used as LOCATION as in this class entry:

http://unclasses.com/classes/225
Florida-Orlando/Daytona Beach

I have a screengrab I can send if you'd like to review the page layout

perhaps a character limit is not necessary as much as the bounding edges of that left column should be considered for usability and legibility.
