glad to announce a new 'WUAS 002 Circuits and Electronics Introduction' beginning WUaS course

Dear Anant and Larry,Greetings. I'm glad to announce a new 'WUAS 002 Circuits and Electronics Introduction' beginning WUaS course - https://app.moocit.fr/courses/course-v1:WUAS+002+1/ course/ - via MOOCit France in the MOOCit startup kit on the emerging WUaS Open edX platform. World Univ & Sch seeks to create a 7-8 week's long introductory version of this with matriculating EECS students at WUaS who might also be studying with Micro:Bit, for example, in a makey-makey manner, from home. Would it be possible please to connect with a graduate student of yours who might be interested in developing this course further (including cutting your MIT OCW class in half somehow even - and with 30mins - 1 hour studying outside of the class itself)? WUaS seeks to not use complex numbers in this course, for example, and for this course to be an introduction to the WUaS EECS free-to-students' best STEM CC-4 OCW Bachelor's degree 4 year online program. I've explored these ideas further in today's WUaS News, Q&A LIvestream 8/3/20 here - https://youtu.be/k3wlb4TlXtc - https://scott-macleod. blogspot.com/2020/08/southern- right-whale-wuas-news-1-1st. html

New Course at World University and School via MOOCit France into the WUaS Open edX platform!
WUAS 002 Circuits and Electronics Introduction
https://app.moocit.fr/courses/course-v1:WUAS+002+1/course/
How might we best communicate about this further please? If possible, as you may see in the video, WUaS would like to seek, find and connect with 6 MIT? graduate students for each of the WUaS 6 majors - worlduniversityandschool.org - to create from CC-4 MIT OCW courses 6 introductory WUaS undergraduate courses, each 7-8 weeks long, on our upcoming WUaS Open edX platform with students beginning even on August 31. 2020. I've been in touch recently with MIT Prof. Wyn Kelley, who's taught an Introduction to Fiction course at MIT OCW which WUaS has suggested developing for our first year students, and who is dynamic. I would reach out to her further about finding an English literature MIT graduate student to do this, for example. What might you suggest please about further developing 'WUAS 002 Circuits and Electronics Introduction' please?Thank you for your great MIT OCW Circuits and Electronics' course, Anant! And thank you!
Sincerely, ScottPSHere are some of the other MIT OCW courses WUaS is exploring migrating or adapting, including Prof. Wyn Kelley's - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/07/passion- vines-when-might-be-able-to. html - but which may be light on video.

Dear Anant, Wyn & Larry,
How are you all this morning?
A prospective WUaS English BA Student from India emailed this morning -
"Hi Scott,
I hope I can enroll in B A English next month."
Having been in touch with MIT Professors Anant Agarwal (EECS) and Wyn Kelley (English) yesterday and today, I'm wondering if you can please help focus this in the next 3 weeks, perhaps drawing on other edX & Open edX course (and especially CC-4 MIT OCW) materials newly regarding the emergent WUaS Open edX.
As you may know, WUaS seeks to begin licensing with CA's BPPE, and concurrently accrediting then probably with WASC senior for highest quality online BAs (and then online PhDs in English - and later licensing online Law, MD & IB high school degrees with other organizations, and in all 200 countries' official / main languages!) How best please to proceed and communicate about this? Thank you!
Sincerely, Scott

Dear Scott, I’m going to have to bow out of this planning. I’m on leave at the moment and trying to cope with family issues and a book project. Good luck with your projects and thank you again for your interest in Literature at MIT! Best, Wyn

Dear Wyn,
Thanks for letting me know, and I'll let Anant know as well. I wish you the best with your family issues and book project (which are issues on my plate as well!). Thank you for your interest in CC-4 MIT OCW-centric wiki World University and School. And I look forward to staying in touch in other ways. Thank you!
Best wishes, Scott
PS
If we're ever in New Bedford at the same time, it would be great to meet for a coffee in or near the New Bedford Whaling Museum (which is where I made this talk - "The Information Technology Revolution - History and Geography - Scott MacLeod"
https://youtu.be/FJIy6LpZLeI), and I would gladly invite you over to Cuttyhunk for a day visit, if these could be combined even.

What a kind invitation, Scott! I don’t know when we’ll make it back to New Bedford, but that’s a great idea. W

Dear Anant and Larry,
I heard back from MIT Prof. Wyn Kelley this morning. She's going to have to bow out of developing the WUaS English major, per her MIT OCW course "Intro to Fiction" with its first course beginning around September 1, 2020 - and per Shahbaz Sanjer's recent inquiry this morning too from India about matriculating this month online from home in a free-to-students' BA English degree 4-year program at WUaS. Here's Wyn's email:

Since I'm not an expert in English literature, like Wyn, I am hoping WUaS can get the first course or two up and running toward Shahbaz's English BA in emergent WUaS Open edX soon-ish. Thoughts, questions, suggestions? Thank you!
Sincerely, Scott

I've blogged about this and our correspondence today here - https://scott-macleod.

Thanks, Ned,
(Ned Batchelder at edX),
It's part of CC-4 MIT OCW-centric World University and School's plan to develop MIT OCW-centric courses in these 6 majors - EECS, English, General Science, History, General Engineering, Business (worlduniversityandschool.org) - for free-to-students' degrees beginning around September 1, 2020. And WUaS began in the emergent WUaS Open edX, with our MOOCit France service partner, with Anant's "Circuits and Electronics'" MIT OCW course, since one of our WUaS 6 majors is EECS, first for undergraduates. I've been communicating with Anant for some months now about this developing WUaS online Bachelor's degree, and when Shahbaz Sanjer emailed me again from India this morning (after many emails from him expressing interest in beginning an online free-to-students' Bachelor's degree in English from India - ie in January or so he wanted to begin immediately )- I reached out again to Anant about Sanjer's request. Having written that, and having recently communicated with another MIT Prof. Wyn Kelley about WUaS's planned online degree programs (since she designed the MIT OCW "Intro to Fiction" course - https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/
Sincerely,
Scott

I fear Republican sabotage of the USPS, including slowing mail delivery, is a Trump strategy to make voting by mail more difficult this fall. Request your ballots and return them as early as you can. https://t.co/LZONq8EPKE— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) August 4, 2020
