Hi, I have encountered misconceptions that these are "yet another programming workshops". That is, the message that these are workshops for researchers doesn't get through and so the message doesn't reach the right audience. A similar misconception was that it is another resource "like Coursera" (that's about our online lessons). I realise that partially it may be the problem with people not reading the emails/announcements/website carefully. However, in some cases, I think they actually did read it and this didn't work. I have been wondering if the fact that these were not native English speakers (but well versed in English) matter or maybe more precisely, these were people based outside of the North America / UK research circles.
