<html><body><div style="color:#000; background-color:#fff; font-family:HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;font-size:12pt"><div>Hi, I came up with a rather neat Idea, I'm sure the blender foundation could manage it after a bit of research, An open source blender college, preset criteria will detail whats necessary to get a bachelors in animation (using blender) or a bachelor's in game design (using blender) those criteria will be "tasks" with defined requirements based on regulated Degree requirements set forth by an accredidation organization (you can find them quite easily and they do state what the reqirements for a bachelor's degree in the areas of computer science are and what the requirements for a BA art are.)</div><div><br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: HelveticaNeue,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,Lucida Grande,sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style:
normal;">because the requirements are out in the open for all to see we wont need teachers or anything just grading criteria and rubriks.<br></div><div><br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: HelveticaNeue,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,Lucida Grande,sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;">So I wrote a bit more on blender artists, I'd encourage the devs to take a look and see if they can set it up.</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: HelveticaNeue,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,Lucida Grande,sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: HelveticaNeue,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,Lucida Grande,sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;">http://blenderartists.org/forum/showthread.php?321544-Blender-College&p=2540488<br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0,

fancy animations, games, models and scripts under the GPL which in turn will attract businesses to utilize blender and have a demand for blender artists, which I'm certain will generate donations to the Blender Foundation.<br></div></div></body></html>
