World University and School 

Agenda & News - 

World Univ & Sch is seeking to put a free major university, with academic teaching hospital (medical schools), with major university libraries, all museums (in VR), and a major online music school with music-making potential for you - interactively on your computer screen in your home. Online education in Virtual Reality is expanding dramatically due to this novel coronavirus COVID-19. 


This autumn, CC-4 MIT OCW-centric The College at World University and School seeks to matriculate ~2000 online undergraduate students for free-to-students' degrees. Students would be studying something like MIT OCW into MITx courses, conceptually like - https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/mitx-related-courseware/ - in The College at World University and School ... https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/The_College_at_World_University_and_School - and eventually via the Socratic method (and similar) in tutorials or group video conferencing and per The Conference Method online ...  https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Conference_Method_of_Teaching_and_Learning.



Glad to learn that the Unitarian Universalist Church of Palo Alto choir is exploring heading online, for example, and in these regards too: 


Here are 185 singers in - 
"Eric Whitacre's Virtual Choir - 'Lux Aurumque'"

https://youtu.be/D7o7BrlbaDs

In one version of Eric Whitacre's virtual choral explorations, the singers also 'embrace the lag' - and are all dancing together in a sense by waving handkerchiefs (or hands) in synchrony virtually in group video as they sing. In another version, for a serious piece, singers recorded individually their parts, and emailed them in, and a sound engineer (Scott Holder may have been his name) synthesized them digitally into a single beautiful piece. 

Am glad with regards to CC-4 MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch that MIT, Harvard, Stanford and so many other great universities, are all taking their classes online! It's an amazing opportunity for WUaS to study and learn best online teaching and learning practices - culturally even - and in so many ways! 

Look around for online music-making opportunities - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Music_School - as well as open highest quality learning possibilities, and WIKI-ADD these resources, or teach yourself to YouTube, for ex., to World University and School in any musical subject (or other subject - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Subjects - which can be an academic one, a creative one, or a new subject you create!)

Musical regards, Scott

I hope Stanford LAW CodeX (in Zoom) will be the precursor to WUaS law schools in each of all ~200 countries' languages. Here's the Twitter announcement for the open Stanford Law CodeX meeting today, Th March 19, 2020 at 1:30 pm PT > https://twitter.com/CodeXStanford/status/1240303769344065537?s=20 - if you might be interested. 

And here are 8 of the beginning WUaS online law schools - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Law_School

Law Schools at World University and School (planned in main languages in them)

Thanks to Larry Viehland, for the WUaS monthly financial reports for Saturday's open WUaS Monthly Business Meeting at 9am PT, hour-long (and on 3rd Saturdays).

Petros Kalligas, in Athens, Greece, has expressed great interest, in looking for a next assignment, in developing Greek World University and School, in the Greek language: 

In communication with Petros, WUaS first is seeking ~50-100 highest achieving English-speaking Greek students this autumn for free-to-students' undergraduate Bachelor's degrees, that are MIT OCW-centric, and then to translate and similar MIT OCW into the Greek language for free-to-students' online degrees: Bachelor, Ph.D., Law, MD and high school I.B. And, again, students would be studying something like MIT OCW into MITx courses, conceptually like - https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/mitx-related-courseware/ . WUaS seeks to develop similarly in all ~200 countries' official main languages, and become a major online academic employer.

Petros Kalligas in Athens, Greece, and I are planning to LiveStream this Monday, March 23, 2020 at 10 am PT from - https://www.youtube.com/user/WorldUnivandSch/live (and thanks to Peter Bothe for helping with LiveStreams). This Monday's LiveStream will be accessible from - https://www.youtube.com/user/WorldUnivandSch - immediately after the event.

WUaS LiveStream channel #2
Thanks, Peter, for your skillful and fast creation of a second new WUaS Livestream channel - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdURAADdLc9ctxnbismtXzQ/ /live (associated with a 2nd LightStream platform channel for broadcasting too) - and with WUaS's Google for Education platform associated with your new email address there - livestream@worlduniversityandschool.org ! 

We'll explore in open WUaS Monthly Business Meeting in about 1 hour about your idea, Peter, of using it for the WUaS Corp too, in addition to the idea of dedicating it to WUaS languages, or countries.

Please follow this channel so we can get a custom URL, all!

Larry, two WUaS Press books have sold this week in the Academic Press at WUaS, and let's figure out how to begin to account for them on the WUaS Corp monthly report.

Project Baseline testing of COVD-19
Exciting: Rob Califf MD, former FDA commissioner and Duke Professor and head of Google's / Verily's Project Baseline (with Stanford and Duke), Tweeted yesterday - https://twitter.com/califf001/status/1241179487972159488?s=20 .

So, WUaS Tweeted -
Great: Project Baseline and #covid19 screening -

WUaS News and Q&A on Monday March 23, 2020 (see Agenda and News too) -
Petros, let's plan to meet in Google Meet on Monday for the WUaS News and Q&A at 10 am PT for a LiveStream to https://www.youtube.com/user/WorldUnivandSch/live - (and not in LightStream which also LiveStreams to https://www.youtube.com/user/WorldUnivandSch/live)..

Am exploring if the Unitarian Universalist Church CHOIR of Palo Alto wants to sing in Google Meet in WUaS Google for Education in this time of COVID-19 and 'sheltering at home' - and if they might, they could begin another WUaS Music livestream channel and regarding the roadmap to real-real time music making (as well as real-real time telerobotic surgery in the online WUaS Medical Schools / Teaching Hospitals).

Thanks, Peter, for making this foray into using WUaS Google for Education!

As World University and School matriculates online students, the WUaS Corp will develop its online <> on-the-ground bookstores / computer stores / robotics' stores / hospital technologies' stores, as well as code for all 7.5 billion people on the planet (also in exploring facilitating a single digital currency distributed via Universal Basic Income experiments - https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/search/label/UBI - to alleviate poverty). 


The Academic Press is continuing to publish books - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/AcademicPress.html - and seeks to grow into all 7,117 known living languages (up from 7,111 living languages recently) and with machine translation. 


Again, the WUaS Corporation, having just filed the SI-550 in California, as a for-profit general stock company legal entity, and is seeking 4 further Board members for a remarkable opportunity to grow into ~200 countries' and 7,117 known living languages regarding: "14 planned WUaS revenue streams, Business plan update" - https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2016/01/14-planned-wuas-revenue-streams.html - starting with an academic press and online-on-the-ground bookstores/ computer stores/ robotics' stores/ hospital technology stores+
