Salaams all~ Vandoo in his post states good points for all.
In so far as my take on it; Perhaps a
separate section to the forum dedicated to advanced research and fuelled by students wishing to qualify themselves with an ethnographic arms qualification be it a junior certificate, intermediate or senior up to degree level and accredited [
U]only in the latter case[/U]... perhaps that is a bridge too far.
In my view this educational specialised (EAA ED)"small" section would carry the full bibliography and composite course by course reading list and provide students with the potential to purchase course content (books) therefor to some extent it would have a commercial edge (tempered by our constitutional awareness of all things commercial) I will not overburden readers with the proposed courses details, however, each module would carry marks and the courses would be EAA administered for a fee as with normal distance learning programs.
Qualifications up to degree level are for everyone young and old and the subject matter is Universal~ Where else would a student go to for a qualification in EAA?
This is 2012 after all~ Technology is doubling its speed every 11 months ~ The internet is a huge learning information driven resource of which we are already part. My suggestion is not the death knell of EAA; on the contrary it dovetails perfectly with the modern world and used properly and sympathetically will take this forum into the next century... I hope!
At any rate it is not my intention to drag it screaming and digging in its heels, therefor, I leave my thoughts on this subject to provide a beacon of light should the discussion be re examined (by some passing space ship in the 21 century?)
