Here's a little heads up on what we've thought of for now.
The class would probably be thirteen weeks, divided into an introduction and three modules, to be paid for separately. That way people don't have to pay in full but rather pay thirty five bucks for a month of education, and if they're interested then there's the next month. This would also be more inclusive for people who heard of the class too late to join at the beginning but can still come in by the second or third modules. I'm trying to see if we can make it even cheaper for the online version, 25 bucks a month or so. People who would be most interested in Marxism tend to correlate with people who don't have much cash lying about, so the cheaper the better.

First class would be free, an introduction to Marxism, that anyone with an account at the institute can access for free.

I'm trying to come up with overarching themes for each module but in no particular order here are some probable subjects for each week:
The development of Marxism in Marx's own life.
Leninism and the Soviet Union.
The State and Microfascisms.
Marxism in Latin America.
Post-colonialism.
Art and Liberation.
Feminism and Marxism.
Communism and Human Rights.
Violence and Marxism.
French Maoism and the Cultural Revolution.
Marxism Today.
