Re: schema-course-extend: credential or award offered through course.

Phil, while not particularly fond of "educationalCredentialAwarded", I also
don't really have a suggestion of anything better beyond the more generic
"credentialAwarded"; so, looks good to me.

Trivial matter: In your example coding with the value "HNC
Accounting", consider
expanding the "HNC" to "Higher National Certificate in Accounting" for
those that might not otherwise get that this is a form of credential. (
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Higher_National_Certificate)...push to be
explicit coming from someone who has little confidence that most people can
easily infer anything.
