Where can I find more synchronous (live) online courses?

I'm trying to find online synchronous courses - adult learner or college-level. I'm having the hardest time.

A few years ago I took a class through Harvard Extension that met once a week, online, for 2 hours. The class content was amazing, but I also loved the format. I could go into my office at home, have my class, and still put my kid to bed.

The class had maybe 30 people in it, we would often break into small groups for discussion. We all got to know each other pretty well and this certain class had one weekend where we all had to meet in person.

I'd like to find more classes like this (I'm mostly looking for English lit, writing or history-type classes), but am having the hardest time. Harvard Extension is great, but the class was over $2k and I only splurged b/c the instructor was a favorite writer of mine.

I have signed up for a few typical online courses and... I just don't do it. If I don't have a time and date to show up, I just end up wasting my money.

Wondering if anyone knows of similar classes or knows where the heck I should be looking (I'm googling "synchronous" and "live" and I'm really not finding anything).
