I absolutely think everybody should come together and coordinate. That would benefit everybody, because we would stop competing for graduate students and start collaborating to include them. It would also serve to help in terms of diversity and inclusion, because you could then reach students all across the country who would be able to access this training program.
Having it be accredited is important to bring people in from outside. That is something that easily hooks students, if they know that they're going to get something at the end. There are probably barriers to this, because I don't know how easy it will be to have courses offered at UBC and courses offered at Dalhousie that can be taken by other people, but in this electronic age in which we're all very used to taking courses online, it should be possible.
