Re: [Proposal] schema:OnlineCourse

Thanks for information, it's been a big help.

I totally agree with the generalized "Course" type and the "Event" approach.

After catching up the preliminary discussion
<http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-vocabs/2014Feb/0131.html> that
Aaron mentions, I think reusing EducationEvent like you did in Edumine
website is good approach.

I revised type to CreativeWork > Course > OnlineCourse, and reuse the event
property which is already exist in schema.org to EducationEvent.

OnlineCourse-> event -> EducationEvent

The revised version and example are available:
Course: https://sites.google.com/site/moocontology/home
Example for Coursera's course:
https://sites.google.com/site/moocontology/examples

Any feedback is welcome!
