Minutes for Annual Meeting at World University and School

In partnering with edX, World University and School seeks $50,000 to interoperate our emerging WUaS platform (in WUaS Wikibase and G Suite for Education), 150 4-year undergraduate students, and $17,000 per 50 students, or ~$51,000 for 150 students per year to pay to edX, potentially beginning in WUaS's May-August term; this comes to $101,000, with the tuition money WUaS pays to edX to be prepaid. This is to offer free-to-students' CC-4 OpenCourseWare-centric online Bachelor's degrees, (initially in conjunction with edX), beginning in 2021.

WUaS by the numbers' continued: WUaS plans to code for all 7.8 billion people on the planet, each a Wikidata Q-item # or similar - for free, highest quality people-to-people wiki teaching and learning, in each of all 7,117 known living languages as wiki schools for open teaching and learning (and eventually hiring faculty members for each of these languages).

WUaS seeks to hire 2.2 million employees (the size of W-M) on both wings, many working 10 hours / week, and in all ~200 countries, with many on the academic side. In doing so, WUaS seeks in these ~200 countries (per the Olympics) to create major online Universities for free-to-students' CC-4 OCW best STEAM Bachelor, Ph.D., Law, MD and IB high school degrees. While $ 14,000 per student per year (University of California instate tuition, excluding books and robotics' kits) is the amount WUaS seeks to receive as reimbursement initially from some ~200 countries' departments of education re WUaS's best STEM CC-4 OpenCourseWare-centricity, from Morocco, as a developing country in the world, WUaS will seek to ask for $600 per student per year from their federal department of education, which is a little less than the amount they give as scholarships to Moroccan students ($200 / 3 months, so $800), and which will cover WUaS's direct costs to edX. As WUaS's degrees come to offer the same value as MIT's or Stanford's degrees, WUaS will seek from the developed countries about $55,000 per year per student ('pegging' our reimbursement request from depts. of education on MIT's tuition), and from the developing countries about $14000 per year per student (instate tuition of the University of California), and less initially from the poorest countries. 

In creating online wiki schools for open teaching and learning  in all 7,117 known living languages and in all ~200 countries, with faculty members too, WUaS seeks to create free universal high quality people to people wiki education.

WUaS seeks to proceed with partnering with the University of New Mexico's Project ECHO Dashboard Replication Team for WUAS telemedicine and online clinical care in our ~200 planned online medical schools, and online ~200 teaching hospitals, but will inquire further about how this would work with Project ECHO regarding each of all ~200 countries, as major online universities at WUaS, and in their official and main languages. See: WUaS received an email regarding partnering with Project ECHO Replication team - https://hsc.unm.edu/echo/get-involved/start-a-hub - and beginning with Hepatitis C.


This may best further be accomplished on WUaS's side in our G Suite for Education (for reimbursement for CC-4 best STEM OCW-centric WUaS degree programs, for example), and in our new WUaS Wikibase / Wikidata (re ~300 languages), and possibly with Stanford Medicine for related medicine course ware, since CC-4 MIT OCW does not have medicine OpenCourseWare because MIT doesn't have a medical school.

How this would all work potentially with a possible single CryptoCurrency like Stanford Mine PI and DISTRIBUTED via UBI experiments, and also regarding the WUaS Educational Services' Store for Medical Textbooks will have to be worked out) 


WUaS planned telerobotic surgery and Project ECHO in all ~200 countries and in their official languages?

WUaS does not yet see any telerobotic surgery on this list of University of New Mexico's Project ECHO Institute TeleECHO Programs, eg as conditions they treat remotely -  https://hsc.unm.edu/echo/institute-programs/ - so perhaps WUaS can add this to our Project ECHO Replicator HUB in some of all ~200 Countries' Teaching Hospitals at our WUaS Medical Schools. And it seems like Project ECHO's hospitalization avoidance program could offer numerous opportunities in these regards too for WUaS's online teaching hospital re medical conditions, symptoms, diagnoses and treatments, and online clinical care ...

Accreditation & Ph.D. student inquiries -
Thanks to Mr. Imad Zalmat in Morocco, a 27 year old graduate in chemistry who is potentially very interested in the planned Ph.D. program at WUaS. 

And when Scott attended the BPPE licensing workshop in San Jose, CA in February 2019, BPPE said they could license not only Bachelor's degrees but also Ph.D.s! (BPPE licensing goes hand-in-hand with WASC senior accreditation initially, as these agencies develop in the information age in CA).

Imad is most interested in a free-to-students' MIT OCW-centric Ph.D. candidacy in Computer Science beginning in September 2021, with a likely 7 year average time to completion at first. Perhaps Imad could help develop a realistic virtual earth for chemistry in these regards, and in French and Arabic too, even in part, since his undergraduate degree was in chemistry - https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualEarthForSTEM?src=hashtag_click. Here again is a recent MIT Ph.D. recipient, Scott Greenwald, who's working on chemistry and physics at the molecular level in virtual worlds - https://twitter.com/scottgwald/status/1272880672449925121?s=20 - as an example of what Imad might begin to be coding in a computer science Ph.D. 

In what ways could WUaS begin to hire on our academic wing in all ~200 countries for film production to help build out a realistic virtual earth at the Street View, cellular and atomic levels especially, in addition to developing a film-to-3D application for this:
- realistic virtual earth for film production ... and 1-1 correspondence
Super! "New technology revolutionizes film and television"
https://www.aftenposten.no/kultur/i/LnoqR1/spillteknologi-revolusjonerer-film-og-tv"& re a single #RealisticVirtualEarth a #RealisticVirtualEarthForFilmProduction re #RealisticVirtualEarthForFilm & esp bridging #ActualVirtual #PhysicalDigital  1 to 1 correspondences @WUaSPress ~ and also at the cellular and atomic levels

UC Berkeley talk re WUaS

Scott gave his UC Berkeley talk on Friday 12/18/20, and announced WUaS further too, re Actual-Virtual ethnographic and STEM field sites ... http://tourismstudies.org/news_archive/MacLeod2020.htm ...  https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/12/doubledays-hummingbird-cynanthus.html ... 

He is inquiring further of the University of California: 
What's happening with collaborative ethnography, and in STEM / the social sciences, and humanities, too, at UC Berkeley, and on all 10 of the University of California campuses even, now virtually? This creation of a realistic virtual earth via ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy is about collaboration (with UC Berkeley video talk at bottom here) - .https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/12/doubledays-hummingbird-cynanthus.html. And this 12/18/2020 UC Berkeley Anthropology Tourism Studies' Working Group is about this - http://tourismstudies.org/news_archive/MacLeod2020.htm too (and also for approaches to telerobotic surgery, for example, which will involve much precision, robotics, and remarkable mapping technologies) .

Single cryptocurrency & UBI experiments for 7.8 billion people, brainstorming-wise, in ~200 countries

WUaS is seeking to code for all 7.8 billion people at the WUaS Corporation, each a Wikidata Q-item # or similar,, and to DISTRIBUTE a single CryptoCurrency such as "Stanford Mine PI" - and further DISTRIBUTED via UBI experiments ... with WUaS Educational Services' Store ahead ... (and regarding the edX Dashboard, the ECHO Dashboard, and WUaS in G Suite for Education - possibly also for reimbursement for CC-4 best STEM OCW-centric WUaS degree programs, but first in $ US dollars) / WUaS Wikibase is ahead  ... and possibly also for the WUaS Educational Services' Store - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/AcademicPress.html - also planned in all 7,117 known living languages, and in 200 countries in their main and official language.



C
Book 

The 5th book "Light, Float, Sit, Watsu ~ Virtually: Bodymind Electricity Sings to Me at Harbin Hot Springs & Other Traveling Poems," in the Press at World University and School, is forthcoming in 2020 - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/AcademicPress.html.

WUaS seeks to develop an Actual-Virtual, Physical-Digital big box, middle box, little box (bookstore/cafe) business strategy in all ~200 countries and in all 7,117 living languages for books/ computers/ robotics/ hospital technologies in the WUaS Educational Services' Store - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/AcademicPress.html - where WUaS is now an 'authorized' carrier of the 3 Lego Robotics' kits, Mindstorms, Spike Prime, and WeDo 2.0.
