Hi Rifai, Partha, Peter,

Thanks for your email again, and I've numbered it below again too with my responses here:

1
If you're talking about code for You at World Univ & Sch - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/You_at_World_University (and maybe a Wikidata PIN # combined with WikiTree's planning for a single family tree, will inform this code further) - spreadsheets are a good jumping off place. 
Social security number / tax ID number would be good places to begin in the US too (and corresponding info in Sri Lanka) ... but probably emails and telephone numbers to begin with make sense. Congratulations on beginning the translation of Tamil language World University and School. Please remember at this point that WUaS would seek to reach out to Tamil speakers (18 year olds?) in Sri Lanka who speak English well enough to matriculate at University online. MERLOT has been linked here for a number of years - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Library_Resources - and WUaS students and wiki-Universitians will find and add other helpful library resources here too.

I searched on code used in a spreadsheet in excel and in gdocs and found: 

"The Microsoft Excel CODE function returns the ASCII value of a character or the first character in a cell. The CODE function is a built-in function in Excel that is categorized as a String/Text Function. It can be used as a worksheet function (WS) in Excel."

"Create Google Docs from a Google Sheet | Practical Ecommercewww.practicalecommerce.com › create-google-docs-go...
Feb 8, 2018 - Now that you have a spreadsheet full of data, and you have ... it is time to create a template for the marketing plans in Google Docs. ... The next line in the code will copy our template and capture the ID of the copied document."

The Microsoft Excel CODE function returns the ASCII value of a character or the first character in a cell. The CODE function is a built-in function in Excel that is categorized as a String/Text Function. It can be used as a worksheet function (WS) in Excel.


2
Please think in terms of a matriculating Sri Lanka WUaS student on September 1 taking 4 edX courses, which they simply sign onto for free - and perhaps click a box saying their matriculating as a WUaS student (making the course free, and indicating perhaps their commitment to a 4 year free-to-students' Bachelor degree program) - from anywhere in Sri Lanka (and Sri Lanka has 22 million people / citizens), from their laptops, from home. In this scenario edX courses would be free, and the prospective students would already have their broadband Wi Fi and computers at home (and paid for). WUaS will seek to make arrangements with the Sri Lankan government's department of Education, or all Sri Lankan counties' departments of education. (What's a county or similar called in Sri Lanka in Sinhala? - ප්‍රාන්තය or prāntaya ?)

If you know of an institute with toppers - high achieving Sri Lankan high school students (I assume) - which might be a source of students for WUaS - please think in terms of the edX - WUaS model above. So, students sign on to an edX course and get a certificate for free if they complete it and continue to study as a matriculated student at WUaS toward free-to-students' Bachelor degrees (for 4 years) from home (since students graduate from institutes, and pandemics occasionally happen +). Perhaps in signing on for a WUaS -edX Bachelor degree program for 4 years (at an institute) and indicating they'll need a laptop and broadband from home soon, WUaS can facilitate this. (I don't know Sri Lanka, but enormous numbers of Sri Lankan WUaS students could overwhelm a single institute; personal laptops will allow WUaS to scale, grow and reach many Sri Lankan students with best STEM CC-4 OpenCourseWare-centric degrees).

3
Departments of Education in Sri Lanka, I would think, made a public education system function (for better and worse? - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Education_in_Sri_Lanka) At WUaS, Sri Lankan students who, brainstorming-wise, sign on for edX courses they're interested in on or around September 1, 2020 will be able to matriculate (at first, and probably for a long time to come). edX CEO Anant Agarwal is a major voice for blended learning - https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/blended-learning-new-normal-heres-why-anant-agarwal/ - and WUaS collaborating with edX will enable certain aspects of blended learning, but the beauty of MIT OCW and edX is that they can be studied and learnt from home, free from schools. WUaS may eventually develop a laptop access program for prospective Sri Lanka students for studying from home with Sri Lanka departments of education - eg for the next pandemic / epidemic.  

Am hoping you're all doing well in the coronavirus pandemic.

Regards, Scott

Hi ! 


1
I meant the format of the actual code. Eg: VT001 or SL0000000001. Also have you considered using the SSID /NIC or Passport No as a unique code. The Tamil homepage is also done but I am not very good at the language. MERLOT e-library system can be acquired by universities for free. Please check on that.


2

Just to clarify WUaS does not request fees for the degree from students. They are actually paying their institute for broadband facilities in a classroom environment. WUaS is only requesting a donation from the institutes for offering the degree free. This is optional.


3

The allocated budgets are low and a major part ends up in corruption which is a major problem in developing countries. Majority who get selected for universities do not get a seat due to this. We are actually making a gradual transition to e-learning by providing blended learning and engaging students as learning from home might go away with the end of the pandemic.


Regards, 

Rifai

Hi Scott,

Thanks for this article.  It verefies tthe article I read in the NYTimes last Sunday.

Hi Ma,

Thanks too for affirming our big educational project is carrying Lego robotics when we spoke.

Will Tweet today about this Mars mission, people / learners making Lego robotics' spaceships and rovers, and creating a realistic virtual universe for Lego so we can all travel with, virtually and physically - before mid-July :)

Fascinating to go to Mars - again.

Love, Scott

When did we first land a spacecraft on Mars? The Viking landers were the first spacecraft to land on Mars in the 1970s. Viking 1 and Viking 2 each had both an orbiter and a lander. On July 20, 1976 the Viking 1 Lander separated from the Orbiter and touched down on the surface of Mars

Minute 7

Information technologies, and robotics ...


In partly a Google-centric coding environment, WUaS is seeking for the above to emerge for 7.5 billion people, each a Wikidata Q item, - as well as in a single realistic virtual earth for online WUaS Medical Schools, teaching hospitals, online tele-robotics surgery, and especially for information technology management developments, and

A) Re Google's Quantum Supremacy - https://news.bitcoin.com/what-googles-quantum-breakthrough-means-for-blockchain-cryptography/ - which seems to be an advantage here with regards to Google's financial stake in Wikidata, as does potentially planning for similar UBI experiments, brainstorming-wise, with a new CryptoCurrency called Pi, created by some Stanford Ph.D.s, see - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/09/aquatic-plant-mine-pi-from-faqs-what-is.html ... Google's and Stanford's collaborations run deep knowledge-wise (which is are networks WUaS seeks to collaborate in far-reaching ways further with as well) ... and with regard to building up modular-wise to 7.5 billion for Universal Basic Income experiments also to distribute a SINGLE cryptocurrency backed by some number of ~200 countries' central banks ... to alleviate poverty for one.

C)
In developing a realistic virtual earth for management, WUaS is seeking to collaborate with HOSPITALS in many countries re digitizing medicine, and hospital procedures.

For example, WUaS would seek collaboration with
Other hospitals in the University of California medical system, such as UCSF, beyond Stanford's 2 hospitals, as well as with the Kaiser Permanente system in many US states, for online capabilities.

In recent communication with Alex MacDonald, NASA Administrator, whom I met through a MIT Media Lab panel -
MLTalks—To the Moon to Stay | From the Moon with Love (Thursday July 25, 2019)
https://www.media.mit.edu/events/from-the-moon-with-love/ -
WUaS is exploring, brainstorming-wise, a realistic virtual universe, for actual-virtual, physical-digital STEM research and at the cellular and atomic levels too, as well as actual-virtual, physical-digital Lego Robotics (thinking Google Street View with TIME SLIDER, Maps, Earth, and with avatar bots) and with developments in Brick Street View in Google Street View for Lego Robotics (see E below too).

WUaS is also in communication NASA AMES administrator, Rupak Biswas - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/07/newfoundland-seascape-stanford-talk-hpc.html (whom I met at Stanford) ... and to address such questions as follows:

Lego Robotics and a realistic virtual earth / realistic virtual universe for the NASA voyage to Mars?


Please keep in mind World University and School's plans to develop a realistic virtual universe for everything - at the cellular and atomic levels too - am thinking Google Street View with time slider (13.8 billion years of atoms is big data!) and for actual-virtual, physical-digital research, i.e. re the potential Mars voyage in the 2030s. And could we also send parallel Lego Robots to Mars in Brick Street View which is an overlay / hack on Google Street View from around 2014?
