Schoolab San Francisco International

to mathieuaguesse, jc, Larry, me

Bonjour Jean-Claude, Mathieu, and Brittany (whose email I don't have),

Thank you for the invitation to the get together this Friday at SF Schoolab International. Does Schoolab engage CC-4 MIT OCW's Sloan School of Management / Business - https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/sloan-school-of-management/ - in any way, en Anglais? FYI World Univ & Sch, of which I'm the founder, seeks to offer free-to-students' online Bachelor degrees FIRST IN ENGLISH as WUaS accredits with the state of California (BPPE), then MIT OCW-centric business degrees in French.

One 'value proposition' I could see in communicating further incubator-wise is Schoolab's Founders' and Management's connections (https://theschoolab.com/en/about/team/) with your universities in France and their relationship to the French government. Since World Univ & Sch seeks to build from the 'gold mine' or 'mother lode' of Creative Commons' 4 licensed MIT OpenCourseWare (in its 5 languages), where CC-4 licensing says users can, with MIT OCW, A) share it, B) adapt it, C) but non-commercially, WUaS cannot ask for tuition from students - so online WUaS will be free-to-students - but WUaS will seek reimbursement from governments (eg federal, state, local, etc) per student per year; this could extend to all 29 French speaking countries (planned in French - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/French_language).

So, for example, since you -

Jean-Claude Charlet
SCHOOLAB CEO and co-founder

went to ...


- Stanford University Graduate School of Business - Business Administration

- Université Paris La Sorbonne

- ESSEC Business School - Business Administration

... WUaS would like to explore developing networks with these great universities and related governments (eg state of CA in Sacramento, Federal Government in Washington DC, the French government in Paris, etc), and all via the internet.

Similarly, Matthieu, Audiencia's Business School (your alma mater - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mathieuaguesse/detail/contact-info/) could benefit from Wolrd Univ & Sch's MIT OCW arrangements. If WUaS could get, over time, French students interested in MIT OCW-centric management degrees, in English and French, and if then WUaS could get reimbursement from the French government due to the CC-4 licensing, and Schoolab's ESSEC, Sorbonne and Audencia's connections, I suspect that people affiliated with French World University and School would do very well for themselves, for example, too.

This would extend to Colombia, (and Uruguay, too, and with regards to Brittany's recent trip there), and with respect to

Ana Maria Zuluaga
Co-founder at Schoolab San Francisco
EHESS - Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales

And WUaS seeks to create online Colombia and Uruguay World University and School - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Nation_States - in official / major languages there. Here's the Spanish Language with subject at WUaS - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Spanish_language - planned in Spanish, and informing major online MIT OCW-centric WUaS Universities in all Spanish speaking countries (21?).

World Univ & Sch seeks to offer online Bachelor, Ph.D., Law and Medicine (M.D.) degrees as well as I.B. high school degrees, all online and accrediting, and in ~200 countries' official / main languages.

And while WUaS seeks to offer online Business Degrees at the Bachelor and Ph.D. levels, based on MIT OCW Sloan courses - see WUaS'a 6 present undergraduate majors in the course catalog here ... http://worlduniversityandschool.org/ - WUaS hasn't matriculated any undergraduate students for this yet. World Univ & Sch is seeking an online undergraduate class of 500-2000 English speaking students from all 200 countries in the autumn of 2000. WUaS website development in multiple languages will be a major part of this.

I see another 'value proposition' with regard to translating of MIT OCW into French, for example, and job creation as well as knowledge generation for France, and in French-speaking countries. For example, these French universities above, and faculty translators too (learning new courses to teach in French), could benefit from the knowledge in MIT OCW for their own universities. (Againn, this could extend to all countries with French as their official languages too, so in Africa, for example, and for reimbursement too - as well as for knowledge generation).

WUaS is very digitally focused, so not seeking office space, yet I'd like to invite you to Monday Morning 10 am WUaS talk sessions if you might be interested -

World Univ & Sch Monday TALK Q & A News 10am PT > https://youtu.be/vZcp2zqkI9w>NEWLY in LightStream > https://youtube.com/WorldUnivandSch> #WorldUnivAndSchNewsQandA info @ http://worlduniversityandschool.org Seeking 2nd online class for free-to-students' best STEM CC-4 OCW Bachelor's degrees

https://twitter.com/WorldUnivAndSch/status/1188152443386777601. Could WUaS explore interviewing you here, Jean-Claude, for example?

And for your information too, WUaS is 2 legal entities: A) World University and School, a non-profit 501 c 3 tax exempt charity, and B) the WUaS Corporation / Press a for-profit general stock company. Both are planned in each of all ~200 countries, and in 7111 known living languages, and both are not yet financially operational to speak of. Here are the most recent Minutes to give you more information about WUaS:

- https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/10/scintillant-hummingbird-minutes-for.html
(and Larry Viehland, above, is chair of the Board, as well as CFO, acting, on both wings).

Looking forward to meeting you tomorrow evening Matthieu - and Jean-Claude if you happen to make a cameo appearance via Skype in the middle of the night :)

à Bientôt, Scott
