Re: EOCred: Addressing requirements from use cases

I think this makes a lot of sense, to extend CreativeWork.

For example, when CreativeWork is extended to Course, you only add 4 properties:
https://schema.org/Course

courseCode
coursePrerequisites
educationalCredentialAwarded (oops, maybe I picked a bad example, since this mentions Credential. Don’t get distracted by this property!)
hasCourseInstance

I think properties like educationalAlignment, audience, offers, provider, hasPart, datePublished, dateModified, expires, creator (and possibly others) will be useful in describing EducationalOccupationalCredentials.
