At the end of the day, these are free courses, so it seems unlikely there are less women because they are excluded in some way. Lack of interest seems the more likely cause.
From the "Gender and Performance" chart, the distribution of the values appears to have a correlation of 0, so I'm not sure how a positive correlation is inferred.
