I agree that building on top of existing systems can be useful for certain aspects of this proposal. In particular, if a user submits an entry that asks for a scholarship to learn the skills that codeacademy.com offers courses for, then this would be very useful. However, learning to code is not the only choice for continued life-long learning. Other possibilities are learning a new language or taking an acting class.

The scope of this proposal is much larger than what fuzzy has initiated by setting up weekly sessions for Bitshares community members to simultaneously take self-paced learning courses.

With that said, where overlap exists, I am happy to work together.
