to me, worlduniversityandschool

Dear Mr. Scott MacLeod,

This is an expression of interest to partner with World University and School to build a 100% tuition-free online college. We would like to share our expertise or our site to make this possible as we share similar values to your organisation. We could create sites in local languages using Moodle LMS. If you are interested in partnering with us, please do not hesitate to contact us after going through our site by creating a free account.

Dear Mr. M. Rifai,

Thank you for your email. Let's stay in touch. As a wiki, World Univ & Sch welcomes edits from CC-4 licensed educational institutions, such as Nidahas Vidyalaya - Freedom College might become, since WUaS is CC-4 MIT OpenCourseWare-centric. MIT OCW's CC-4 licensing, which allows CC-4 World Univ & Sch to 1) share, 2) adapt, but 3) non-commercially MIT OCW resources (in its 4 languages) is how WUaS is working with MIT OCW, and is how Nidahas Vidyalaya - Freedom College (https://twitter.com/NVidyalaya - & WUaS just followed you) could work with CC-4 World Univ & Sch, regarding your question of partnering.

WUaS seeks to develop major online universities in all ~200 countries' official, and main, languages offering free-to-students' MIT OCW-centric degrees (because of the CC-4 non-commercial attribute), and in Sri Lanka especially at Sri Lanka World University and School - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Sri_Lanka - and in the Sinhala language - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Sinhala_language in Sinhala, in Tamil - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Tamil_language (in Tamil itself) - and in Hindi, in addition to English +. If you would like to attend the open WUaS Monthly Business Meeting on the 3rd Saturdays of the month at 9am Pacific Time (California), you'd get a sense of what our next steps are.

I'll add this email too to the WUaS open Monthly Business Meeting emailings, and here are recent Minutes - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/04/pacific-reef-heron-minutes-for-41820.html - and with Agenda & News' links at bottom, for your perusal.

World Univ & Sch is also meeting with the MIT Office of Digital Learning this Friday, May 1st, and to talk further about WUaS-MIT collaboration ideas, partly regarding WUaS seeking to matriculate 500-2000 undergraduate students online this autumn, possibly in something like MIT OCW courses into MITx courses on the edX platforms. Would you be interested in exploring locating and finding 100-200 high achieving, English-speaking Sri Lankan undergraduate students who would be potentially interested in a 4 year free-to-students' online MIT-centric Bachelor's degree, studying from home?

With very best wishes, Scott

Regarding a kind of envisioning (and consciousness) questions in music too, see:

Red trillium: Cow and calf - What is cow consciousness? or cattle awareness? * * * Playing the Scottish small pipes, I'd like to be a kind of space ship that soars down from the atmosphere and with a series of tones transports you the listener to another world. :) * * * Dark Hollow Woods' Park, PA - adding flowers and photos to Google Maps together too which is the idea of ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy * I added a photo of the Harbin Hot Springs' gate house here ~ http://tinyurl.com/p62rpcg (accessible from ~ https://twitter.com/HarbinBook ~ http://bit.ly/HarbinBook ~) ... and in many ways, this Harvard transcription idea is very related
