Hello all, one last call for feedback on this (sorry I left it hanging earlier in the summer, if you really have the time you can review the discussion at https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-schema-course-extend/2016Jun/0019.html ) In short I propose: 1. that we provide a property of course which can be used to point to an educational credential that may be available to those who complete a course. 2. that the expected type for this property be Text or Thing until such time as a specific model for educational credentials be created 3. that we do not attempt to model educational credentials as part of this work. It is on point 3 that I would most welcome feedback. See http://course.schema-course-extend.appspot.com/educationalCredentialAwarded for details Brief Rational: the ability to provide a name and a URI for and educational credential which may be obtained by successful completion of the course is enough fulfil the use case requirement of being able to find courses that offer some specific requirement; modelling educational credentials would divert us from completing what is necessary to fulfil the other use cases; and, educational credentials touch on many communities that are not well represented in this group. Comments / feedback / dissent?
