They even promise that this year they will come with more courses and nothing happens.
I believe the reason that they have so many courses "under maintenance" is that they had to stop using the "Great Course" lectures, and now have to rebuild all the courses with their own content (which are boring powerpoints with voiceovers). I suspect that they were using the Great Course videos without permission.
I took a few of the courses and was so surprised that the videos were from Great Courses, and I wondered why they would allow another company (Online Degree) to stream their propriety content for free when they charged for it on their own platform. Now that all the Great Course content is removed from Online Degree, it seems likely that Great Courses didn't approve of the use. I wonder about the content they are using from UC Irvine. Did Online Degree get permission for those videos?
Online Degree courses are still free, but now the content is quite boring.
