Hi Y and J, 

Thanks so much for your email, Y. It would be great to talk further about the "grand challenge for ISSIP volunteers" in both the newsletter and on the next generation of ISSIP's website - http://www.issip.org/. I could talk with you this Monday, 9/15 at noon or on Tuesday at 9 am as two possible times, Y. If neither of these times work, what times are good for you to talk otherwise? Looking forward to exploring helping to pioneer this "grand challenge" in the NL, - and especially possibly in terms of specific wiki Subjects at WUaS, for example - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Subjects - and in many languages. And as examples of how WUaS works, and wiki subjects that you, J, might have  particular interest in, here's the "Artificial Intelligence" wiki subject page at WUaS with its main links - 
http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Artificial_Intelligence#World_University_and_School_Links - and also planned for many large languages.

Looking forward to talking with you soon Y!

Best, 
Scott

Hi Jam, 

Greetings.

Seeing your helpful and edifying posts on the Wikidata list leads me to email you. I'm writing to inquire whether you would be available please via email to begin to co-develop Friendly-informed CC MIT OCW-centric World University and School, planned for all 7,106 languages, in MediaWiki / qLabel / Wikidata / Wikibase / SemanticWiki accessing Wikicommons in the process ... and potentially in 3 or 4 languages to begin ... possibly En / Es / De (which I speak some) and Hindi together?

The new World University and School website - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/ - now has database capabilities.

See this blog entry for more about this, and World University and School in general - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2014/08/california-tiger-salamander-wuas-in.html. 

Have you installed MediaWiki before?

Thank you!

Best regards,

Scott

Planning to teach the open, online, free course this autumn 2014 ...

"Information Technology, the Network Society, and the Global University"


"What is information technology, broadly conceived? How did it develop? Who did it? What has been the process of diffusion into the economy and society? How and why did the Network Society take shape? What of the implications of networks in the Information Age? In this course, we’ll analyze the interaction between society and contemporary information technologies, in a multicultural and comparative perspective. In doing so, we’ll examine what data and evidence are in the social sciences, how it is used, and how it is interpreted." ...


In the second half of the course, we'll explore starting an all-language, MIT OCW-centric university and school, World University and School, asking further (in the context of the first half's focus on how the information revolution emerged), and in terms of questions about agency (from a Castellian perspective), in what ways to grow this conversation remarkably and flourishingly on the internet?, ... in what ways can WUaS build on great universities in innovative ways?, ... and what are some of the inter-lingual implications of this? ... Your questions?



on Harvard's virtual island
http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Berkman/105/63/25

and in Google + group video Hangouts at WUaS,
https://plus.google.com/u/0/b/108179352492243955816/+WorlduniversityandschoolOrg/posts

on Saturdays for 2 hours from 11a-1p (Pacific Time) beginning Saturday, September 20th, to get familiar with the two main information technologies, and with the course conversation beginning on September 27th.

(See, too -

Hi Lydia and Wikidatans,

In what ways are Wikidatan developers planning for Creative Commons' databases for images, etc. - http://search.creativecommons.org/ - as well as for interoperability, - so, beyond WikiCommons' file-topic searching and storage images - especially if these CC databases already have structured data support (and perhaps vis-a-vis Maxime's Google TOS' question as well)?

Hey Scott :)

What kind of interaction/integration do you have in mind?

Cheers

Lydia

Hi Lydia and Wikidatans,

My questions about C.C. Wikidata integration / interaction have to do with Creative Commons' entities /resources, as examples of external sister projects. Are there any examples so far of Creative Commons' licensed databases that interact/integrate/interoperate with Wikidata and which might parallel or build on the ways in which Wikidata is exploring accessing WikiCommons, and interlingually especially? And what are other examples of Wikidata being used by external sister projects, and in each language? Where (what URLs) will such lists emerge?

In thinking about the Wikidata/WikiCommons/Creative Commons' roadmap ahead, I'm curious what the possible scenarios are especially for using SemanticWiki / Wikidata in the Creative Commons' sphere, and in an expansive way, even for the creation, for example, of Creative Commons' related coding jobs in many/all 7,106 + languages, and interlingually (and vis-a-vis WUaS).

What are Wikidata's nascent plans to support innovations in Creative Commons' structured data projects in the future, for example?

In what ways too might metrics, such as Google Analytics, Watson Analytics or MediaWiki Analytics, for example, be anticipated innovatively roadmap-wise, and interlingually, and especially vis a vis SemanticWiki/Wikidata and CC databases?

Thanks,
Scott

Dear Ffriends,

I hope you're having a good weekend.

The open Friendly World University and School HIVE meets at AFSC offices/San Francisco Friends Meeting this week on Monday, 9/22, and Wednesday, 9/24, from about 8:45 to 11:15 am. I'm so glad this way continues to be opening.

Come help create in person at this HIVE people-to-people Ffriendly-informed online learning - and planned for all 7,106 languages and 242 countries at MIT OCW-centric World University and School - http://worlduniversityandschool.org - the way you would like education to be ... and via this Friendly wiki (editable web pages) - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com. Friendly WUaS is planning online, accredited MIT OCW-centric degrees, and these hives are meeting spaces to ask questions, explore what you'd like to teach online, volunteer, learn how to curate WUaS, attend a WUaS workshop, and/or share your ideas about WUaS.


Quaker Quarterly Meeting sharing

I'm also glad to say too that at Quarterly Meeting on Saturday, October 18th, at Sierra Friends Center, WUaS is planning a "Friendly-informed World University and School and Quakers" sharing in conversation with M&O - stay tuned.

A kind of leading, Quaker MIT OCW-centric WUaS would like to become the online Harvard / MIT / Swarthmore / Haverford / Oxbridge of the Internet, and in all languages and countries, while facilitating Ffriendly open Wiki (editable web pages) schools in all 7,106 languages and 242 countries.

Unprogrammed Quaker Meeting (non-theistically Ffriendly informed as well) at AFSC/SFFM will meet this Monday and Wednesday around 8:45 am for ten minutes or so and before each WUaS hive.

Looking forward to meeting with you.

Friendly regards,
Scott

Thanks. As a heads' up, I'm planning to teach my ongoing course (http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2014/09/siau-island-and-tarsiers-information.html) on Saturdays online - from 11-1 from Sierra Friends Center - which I've actually done once before some years ago ... unfortunately it's a schedule conflict ... but I think we can dance around this :) ...it might even be possible to combine the two ... which would be interesting.

It's a scheduling conflict with a lunch table; I also don't think teaching my online course "Information Technology, the Network Society, and the Global University" would dovetail well with a QM WUaS lunch table. What would you both suggest scheduling-wise?

With Ffriendly greetings,
Scott

Hi Jo,

You're from Kenya, Africa, and studying at University in Germany - great! Twitter and social and political change - how does it work uniquely in Africa?

What's your avatar's name in SL? I just went into SL and didn't find any contact from a new avatar that could be yours; mine again is "Aphilo Aarde". The course's long-standing group is called "Soc & Info Tech - Aphilo on Berkman." Besides finding and joining the group, please simply come to the course in SL this Saturday, Sep 27, 2014, at 11am Pacific, which is, I think, 1900 hours in Germany. Please let your researcher friends know in the colloquium (by reading parts of this email?) about this Saturday's course; after the first hour in SL, we'll all migrate into a Google + group video Hangout for the second hour.

The first half of this course is significantly informed by Manuel Castells' research on the Network Society especially in terms of the generative history of the IT revolution as it unfolds, which I find captivating and riveting. The significance of the network society (Castells) as it develops and comes informs social network sites is fascinating. It will be interesting too to come into conversation with all of you who come vis-a-vis Fuchs, Morozov and others as the course unfolds. The second half of this course will involve discussing shaping a wiki MIT OCW-centric Global University, planned for all 7,106 languages and 242 countries, plus much much more. I'm hoping all who participate can blog or post weekly about the emergent conversation.

Have you seen this Harvard video on the ethnography of Internet cafes in Ghana by UC Berkeley's Jenna Burrell - http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/events/luncheon/2013/02/burrell ?

Here too are the Media Studies wiki subject plus main links - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Media_Studies#World_University_and_School_Links, the Visual Anthropology wiki subject page plus main links - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Visual_Anthropology#World_University_and_School_Links, and Africa World University and School - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Africa#World_University_and_School_Links, the beginning of online MIT OCW-centric Universities in African Nation States and in main African languages, as resources and examples of how WUaS works. Check out the MIT OCW courseware here, and please add some resources, or teach to web camera and add this to WUaS.

Please do share this email and invite everyone in your colloquium to the course and looking forward to meeting you in-worlds!

Best und Alles Gute,
Scott

ISSIP members and Universitians are invited to volunteer for a global education grand challenge.

The World University and School (http://worlduniversityandschool.org) has the goal of offering learners a way to earn a recognized free degree for their academic discipline of choice from anywhere in the world. To be available for free in all languages is a very ambitious grand challenge, and ISSIP and WUaS together will only accomplish this with thousands of dedicated volunteers worldwide. Volunteers can contact Scott MacLeod < info@worlduniversityandschool.org > for more details.

Did you know that there are over 7,000 languages used by people in the world today? The MIT Open Course Ware initiative has courses available in about 8 non-English languages, so there are many more to go. By comparison, portions of Wikipedia are available in 287 languages.

Do you have ideas for how to help mobilize the thousands of volunteers that will be needed? This is a service innovation grand challenge, and Scott is asking for interested ISSIP volunteers to contact him to help. You can learn more at the World University and School website (http://worlduniversityandschool.org).

Volunteers are needed to: (1) curate existing course materials, (2) create new course materials, (3) help with the process of accreditation, (4) improve the usability of the current website, and make it more learner friendly, and (5) create ideas and implement them to help mobilize thousands of volunteers worldwide. You will have an opportunity to learn about Creative Commons Licenses, MIT Open Course Ware, Wiki-based Online Learning Platforms, MediaWiki/Wikidata, and much more. Please contact Scott MacLeod < info@worlduniversityandschool.org > to learn more and volunteer.

Come co-create for universal education.

Scaling and Hiring Challenge

Scott:

World University and School needs to raise monies to hire our first executive director and 4-5 interns, so fundraising is the first challenge WUaS is facing. The main focus for the first WUaS executive director will be accreditation in the state of California (BPPE, WASC senior, NACAC membership for the Common Application), and given the MIT OCW-centric and Friendly/Quaker-informed mindset of WUaS, WUaS would like to hire a fFriend or someone who has gone to a Quaker college/school and enjoyed their learning experience there or similar, as well as someone who at the same time may have graduated from a MIT or Yale, for example, with their Creative Commons' course offerings. Doing this in multiple languages, after initially focusing the accreditation process in English will be another scaling challenge some months ahead.

Jhon:

We would like connect inter-lingually in this course with each other to accredit for Creative Commons' licensed WUaS university degrees, as well as develop wiki MIT OCW-centric universities in all 242 countries and in large languages, as well as wiki schools in all 7,106+ languages.

Mindset vs. Footprint

Scott:

The mindset WUaS would like to scale is a MIT-centric, creative STEM problem-solving one and also a Ffriendly collaborative communicative harmonizing-effect even Harbin Hot Springs’ warm mindset or culture. For this latter mindset, see especially - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2014/09/orchid-mantis-meditative-harbin-warm.html. Scaling in this academic high achieving as well as harmonizing contentment way emerges from, in World University and School's monthly business meetings (in the manner of Quakers) the contentment and MIT-centric communicative practices of the existing team already, in part, - especially at WUaS monthly business board meetings. Scaling these practices in particular through participation and attendance, and related specialization will significantly help to spread this mindset. WUaS plans to grow size-wise (footprint-wise) with this mindset potentially to hire as many as 800,000 - to 1 million people (IBM has about 426,000 employees) with MIT OCW-centric wiki CC universities and schools in all 7,106+ languages and 242+ countries, - offering the on the degree side Bachelor, Ph.D., Law and M.D. degrees as well as the I.B. diploma in large languages and many countries. ON the wiki side, WUaS would like to scale the Wikipedia-mindset of do it yourself collaborative editable web pages knowledge generation around MIT OCW, so wikify MIT OCW in large languages and most countries for free degrees with MIT-informed highest achievers as students and faculty.

Jhon:

No matter what your stage of study is, your economic situation or the language you use, this project provides quality material in your language. WUaS wants to demonstrate that no barriers exist any longer that might prevent your intellectual development; in fact, because WUaS is wiki, we all can become teachers in this people-to-people open learning and teaching wiki.

'Catholicism' vs. 'Buddhism'

Scott:

MIT OCW-centric WUaS is more Buddhist (but really unprogrammed Quaker) in planning to scale with an underlying mindset. Via our WUaS monthly business meeting practices, based loosely on Quaker Monthly, Quarterly and Yearly business meeting process, WUaS would like to scale organizationally for each large language with corresponding countries, and as wiki schools in all languages. WUaS expects to expand 1) a developing sophisticated Quaker business process, 2) wiki culture, and 3) with great universities’ decision-making processes (such as MIT, Stanford, HYP missions and decision-making processes around knowledge generation), - all of which will be how WUAS develops our scaling philosophy, Buddhist-wise, as the venture grows.

Jhon:

Initially the platform offered the content and material for the world is unique and special it is wiki (editable) and CC (Creative Commons' licensed) because wiki information technologies offer easy access and a reponsive collective structure, where we all can edit the WUaS wiki. Eventually for degrees WUaS would like to engage the Conference Method of Teaching and Learning, modeled on Reed College's conference method - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Conference_Method_of_Teaching_and_Learning - where students learn to talk with each other in specific academic ways.

Hot Cause & Cool Solution

Scott:

Universal education in all 7,106+ languages and 242+countries online, especially MIT OCW-centric, is a hot cause, and a CC World University and School, like Wikipedia with MIT OCW, especially designed with developing database querying software such as SemanticWiki and for all languages, is a very cool solution. Free and MIT and CC and wiki university education will stir hope in many poor high achieving people around the globe.

Jhon:

In many countries millions of students need open educational resources/material or courses for their schools or universities and through these learn to deal with economic, social problems, etc. This project connects students with MIT quality learning resources, and free access, and WUaS thus breaks the barriers that limits these students.

Cut Cognitive Load

Scott:

Specialization of WUaS interns, with plans to hire mostly graduate and undergraduate students from great universities in all languages to develop WUaS wiki subject pages and courseware in their own disciplines, will reduce cognitive load. These high achieving knowledge, student-developed and discipline-oriented specializations will thus reduce cognitive load conflict and also thus potentially increase willpower for these interns especially who may want to develop their own wiki subject pages to become expertly knowledgeable in a specific area or aspect of a discipline. WUaS would also like to hire Quakers/Friends around the globe, and think that the enjoyable Quaker Silent Meeting process, as a kind of (Buddhist?) meditation and underlying mindset will help reduce cognitive load among managers and administrators, as will the aspect of being part of a Ffriendly team.

Jhon:

This will include stages of dissemination, development of existing content in another language, the development of themes, development of fundraising methods, and the development of methods of teaching, - all reducing cognitive load.

This is a writing project for a 5 week free Stanford NovoEd course Scott is taking entitled "Scaling Up Your Venture Without Screwing Up" - https://novoed.com/scaling-up-your-venture-without-screwing-up.

Can MOOCs and Universities Co-Exist ? ... and the "commodity empire"


Thanks, Heartsong ...

CC WUaS is CC MIT OCW-centric focused for its planned multi-lingual STEM-centric degree side ...

and CC Wiki focused for its people-to-people open teaching and learning planned for all 7000 + languages' side ...

CC - Creative Commons' licensed - is an interesting form of new law in the commodity-empire ...

hopefully WUaS students, teachers and learners who don't want the planned free degrees will explore a lot in the open wiki side ...

if only this open education side were around when you were studying and taking detours ...

lots of fascinating detour possibilities in the wiki WUaS main Subjects' page for example ... http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Subjects 

(You might be able to Google the WSJ journal article if interested ... )

WUaS allows all of us who want to to create learning for those who want it ...

lots of limbo and detour learnings, if that's what one wants, - and all potentially edifying especially ...

Scott

The first link below led me to the Title quest [for knowledge]  : Can MOOCs and Universities Co-Exist ? ... then the" line-leader " , led me to "the commodity-empire"'get this subscription ' [Price $12...] a detour from the Knowledge-Trail ] ... detouring into another labyrinth pseudo-laminated with extra-curricular mind-spaghetti ...
    That was the actual academic-detour that entangled me in my academic career.  A lot of side-shows called learning knowledge, at the "Universities" of the commodity-empire.
With a "Hand-held"... Knowledge is empowering the "Student-of-Knowledge" to click him/er-self beyond the Limbo-campus of so-called University-course-curriculum.

Hi Anabel,

I've added you to the World University and School sporadic email list; In the WUaS monthly business meeting email, you can decide to add yourself to a Google or Yahoo group with digests.

Have you seen this WSJ recent article? ...

"Can MOOCs and Universities Co-Exist? Massive Open Online Courses Make College Degrees More Affordable. Does That Make Them a Threat to Campus Life?" ...
http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424052702303825604579515521328500810 ?

To give you an idea of how wiki World University and School works on its wiki side, people can wiki add such resources as the article above to various WUaS subjects as open teaching and learning resources, eg here -

Education#World University and School Links
http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Education#World_University_and_School_Links

Courses
http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Courses

I'll add the paper above.

Or you could start a Google Hangout yourself and teach to it, and add it to WUaS.

See the links in the Education links' section for further resources concerning your particular interests.

On the degree side, WUaS is MIT OCW-centric.

In addition, WUaS would like to become accredited in all countries - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Nation_States - which include the developing world, of course, and begin to offer online MIT OCW-centric university and high school degrees.

With very best wishes,
Scott
