Dear Anant, 

I'm writing to inquire in what ways World University and School might best offer MIT OCW-centric courses from, or via, edX in WUaS's 6 majors - worlduniversitandschool.org - beginning now in January 2020 (for Shahbaz Sanjer at WUaS for a free-to-students' CC-4 MIT OCW-centric Bachelor's degree in English) and especially in the autumn of 2020, potentially with 500-2000 WUaS online students, in English, as WUaS begins licensing with the state of California's BPPE? WUaS students would take these courses in 'The College at WUaS' - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/The_College_at_World_University_and_School - and from related academic wiki subject pages - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Subjects. And WUaS would seek to begin our first Ph.D. class the following year - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Ph.D._Degrees_at_World_University_and_School (also with regards to BPPE licensing) - and also CC-4 MIT OCW-centric (perhaps in all ~32 departments there).  So would membership with edX, and getting edX course-specific links, with student registration information, that WUaS could add to our wiki pages and course catalog be the best way to proceed?. And how, for example, to chart out a 4 year online English Bachelor's degree for Shahbaz from CC-4 MIT OCW and via edX?  

With regards to edX and sustainability, and the Pi digital cryptocurrency in this email thread (and Mine Pi too - https://youtu.be/MsOaC61cR3U - which cyrpto-currency is designed to be mineable by end users - eg for UBI experiments?), WUaS seeks to code our platform for our incoming matriculating students - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/You_at_World_University - and plan too potentially for matriculating students in all ~200 countries in their official and main languages, and plan also for WUaS wiki Universitans as speakers of each of all 7,111 known living languages - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Languages - and as teachers and learners in these related WUaS wiki schools (and then potentially for all 7.5 billion people, brainstorming-wise, - and explore even Universal Basic Income experiments to alleviate poverty, in all ~200 countries' languages, but also to distribute a single digital currency backed somehow by some number of ~200 countries' central banks). How WUaS would code the WUaS platform for our students, and who take WUaS courses via the edX platform, may be something we could explore coding together in these regards. This may involve communicating further with Wikidata / Wikibase (ie Lydia above) too for both the WUaS wiki platform, and all 7.5 billion people a Wikidata Q-item # (or PIN# - personal identification number based in Wikidata).

Thanks to Lee and Nakia for all your helpful communications so far (around our 45 minute phone conversation on 18 December 2019), and greetings, Sanjay! And thanks too to Larry for serving as the Chair of World University and School's Board, and to Steve Carson above for developing MIT OCW, and Peter Bothe in helping to grow WUaS in Germany (where WUaS may seek 500 English-speaking students this autumn 2020).

World Univ & Sch seeks to become the Harvard / MIT / Stanford / Oxbridge of the Internet, and in all ~200 countries and all 7,111 known living languages - so world class, and with regards to edX goals especially.  

What would be the best way, please, to proceed? Thank you!

All the best, Scott

PS
