schema.org Git hub issue

Identifying a course by provider and name allows searchers to find information about a known course, for example one on which they have already enrolled (use case 3, requirement n).

Proposal

The existing schema.org provider and offeredBy and property should be used to indicate who is making the course available, and name is used for the name of the course.

examples

Example 1. Describing one offering of an online course.
