While in the US. if one is traveling to the US. primarily for tourism but they want to take a short course of study that is recreational and not for credit towards a degree, and the course is less than 18 hours per week, then this is allowed on a B2 visa. For example if one is taking a vacation to the US, and during that time they wish to take a two-day cooking class for their enjoyment, and no credit is earned, then this would be permitted on a B2 visa. But when you are in the US on a tourist visa you can not work.

If your i94 h2b visa expires ie finished work in US can you fly to Caribbean and renew to tourist visa on entry to US then tour US?

The best thing to do is to apply for a B2 tourist visa before your H2B expires. That way, you do not need to leave the country before starting your tour of the US. Technically, you can leave and apply for a tourist visa in the Caribbean. Realistically, if your application is denied you will not be stuck in the Caribbean and unable to return to the US.
