WUaS would like to ask if you have any credit for college courses? 
  
And how many courses do you want to take this semester?
And how many courses do you want to take this autumn 2020 (thinking in terms of full MIT OCW courses, but possibly divided into 2, and conceptually like ones on the edX or Open edX platform, but possibly from other platforms)?

Are there any specific courses you'd like to take?
(And, as WUaS begins to seek these courses out, in something like edX, WUaS would like to inquire if you have any specific courses you'd like to take at this stage, eg from here - https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/literature/ or other OCW brainstorming-wise - https://ocw.mit.edu/). 

Please tell me immediately. 
(WUaS may recommend some courses after hearing from you ... including possibly Lego Robotics' English courses, as well as - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/InfoTechNetworkSocGlobalUniv.html ). 

Best regards, Scott

Thank you for your MOOCit startup kit - https://app.moocit.fr/courses/course-v1:WUAS+002+1/course/ - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/08/lotus-corniculatus-glad-to-announce-new.html . The Monthly Business Meeting for World Univ & Sch just closed, and WUaS is going to cancel our proceeding with WUaS Open edX via MOOCit France for the time being. WUaS will explore developing again with MOOCit France for January 1, 2021, contingent on developing/ adapting /migrating CC-4 MIT OCW into WUaS Open edX in our 6 majors, potentially with the expertise of graduate student instructors (MIT?), cutting the MIT OCW courses into 7-8 week courses, and potentially even adding a seminar approach for 1st year undergraduates (via Riff Analytics), planning for BPPE licensing in CA, and accreditation (with WASC senior probably) and getting enough students. WUaS is also seeking to code for all 7.5 billion people on the planet, as wiki-Universitians for a variety of reasons, and potentially regarding the Open edX money transfer mechanism (regarding reimbursement to WUaS for CC-4 OpenCourseWare courses too). Thanks for your excellent MOOCit France platform. FYI, WUaS will seek to offer our very small number of registered students courses, and beginning Bachelor degrees' opportunities beginning September 1, 2020 from MIT OCW itself, and related. Thank you.

Regards, 
Scott
