"edX-WUaS Impasse?" Please see - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/04/edxwuas-impasse.html - as WUaS waits to hear back from edX CEO and founder Anant Agarwal (and MIT Professor of EECS) about this email.

edX CEO, Anant Agarwal, recently posted this on Twitter: 

At @edXOnline, education equity is part of our DNA. Higher ed institutions can access free edX courses through June 2022 w/ Online Campus Essentials - so every college & university can create dynamic blended learning experiences & drive student success: https://hubs.ly/H0MPy5f0

https://twitter.com/agarwaledu/status/1392543109913923590?s=20

https://campus.edx.org/essentials

Is this something WUaS could work with - and for matriculating September 1, 2021 students in WUaS PhD and 4 year Bachelor degree programs via the edX platform? 

Or could this be a step in the right direction - with more information coming? Is edX turning its 'ship' in a slightly new direction - (and even regarding online 'WUaS home robotics' courses (from CC-4 MIT OCW even - https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/experimental-study-group/es-293-lego-robotics-spring-2007/) with scratch programing via the edX platform & re http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/07/coppersmith-barbet-spaceship-heating.html too (with a little humor, and a little edX-WUaS history, here too:)? 

Dear ISSIP Award Committee, 

I will add this to the CC-4 MIT OCW-centric wiki World University and School Agenda and News for this Saturday, 15 May 2021 open WUaS Monthly Business Meeting (9am Pacific Time -meet.google.com/asu-ftca-fnd), having added it too to the 3/2021 WUaS Minutes - https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2021/04/32021-wuas-minutes-for-open-monthly.html , the 3/20/21 WUaS Agenda and News - https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2021/03/wuas-agenda-news-for-open-32021-monthly.html , as well as to this World Univ & Sch post - https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2021/03/noteworthy-innovations-in-2020-for.html. 

I will also seek to add this to our WUaS website - worlduniversityandschool.org - as it becomes more professional, and is translated into many languages, as well as to the World University Foundation page - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Foundation. 

Thanks ISSIP Awards Committee for this great Honorable Mention on behalf of MIT OCW-centric World University and School.  

Kind regards,

Music school

Lessons

Am curious regarding the World Univ & Sch Music School - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Music_School - (planned in all 7139 known living languages, with ALL instruments, each a wiki subject page, to begin - and perhaps with utility being first a criterion for building these wiki pages for community engagement with machine learning - with echoes of Wikipedia's 300 languages and each of their communities and stewards even too - what role private tuition and instruction may play). May add something about these Stuart LIddell Topical group Lessons in the Agenda and News for open WUaS monthly business meeting on Saturday 5/15/21 - which are to come soon! You have an invitation to teach to (e.g. in video, or a myriad of other ways) and learn from wiki World Univ & Sch's Music Schools as they begin to grow :)

Fascinating and great 

MIT MechE’s Annual 2.007 #Robotics Competition.

And perfectly adaptable for WUaS engineering major, and with WUaS Home Lego Robotics 

The MITGame Board, sent home to MIT students - is also very adaptable potentially into a realistic virtual earth for robotics too - https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualEarthForRobotics?src=hashtag_click !

Check out this amazing home robotic competition now or later! :)

I think the narratives and robotics' challenges - with the same Game Board, but with Lego Robotics - could be expanded upon, and even informed by a New Games' approach to robotics

Stanford EPIC (Education Partnership for Internationalizing Curriculum (EPIC))

2021 EPIC Symposium: Integrating Global Topics into Community College Curricula

- which I just viewed. 

In developing CC-4 MIT OCW-centric wiki World University and School (WUaS), planned online in all 200 countries, and in their official and main languages, as well as in all 7,139 known living languages as wiki schools for open teaching and learning, I wanted to touch base with you before this 5/26/21 EPIC conference to explore possibilities. A huge vision, WUaS is now partnering with edX, and seeking to offer online free-to-students' PhD programs and 4-year Bachelor degree programs. Part of the courses will come from MIT OCW into something like MITx, but in seeking a matriculating student body for 4 year Bachelor degrees, WUaS is also seeking students from all ~200 countries, first in English. Since English will be a second language for many years, I was excited to see Stanford EPIC's engagement with Global Community Colleges, and wonder what resources too may have emerged over the past coronavirus pandemic year, regarding online California Community College resources and classes. While WUaS seeks to accredit (WASC - which accredits Stanford and Cal) and license (BPPE - a 2 year process), a concurrent process - potentially in all 200 countries - this process is fraught newly online, and I'm wondering whether California Community College are navigating these waters already accredited, possibly by WASC and BPPE. (WUaS also seeks to accredit in the USA and CA, such that it would be like foreign students coming to on-the-ground Stanford or MIT, accredited, getting a Bachelor of Science degree in chemical engineering, and then head back to their country at age 22, and pass a chemical engineering licensing exam in their country, administered that countries' Chemical Engineering Society and the nation state, or similar). ... And would it be possible for WUaS to explore accessing these online community CA college courses, and even 'upload' or adapt them to the WUaS-edX platform for grades and similar. It's the CC-4 - Creative Commons' 4 (allowing for 1) sharing, 2) adapting, but 3) NOT commercially, that will allow us not to ask for tuition from students)- which is why WUaS can't ask for tuition - so will be free-to-students - but WUAS can seek reimbursement from departments of education in all 200 countries (and will do so probably in WUaS G-Suite for Education). I just wanted to share all this with you, and potentially come into conversation about some of these questions, and some others as well as this 5/26 Stanford EPIC conference approaches. Thank you. (I'm including Larry Viehland, a MIT alumnus from '69, and the chair of the Board at WUaS, both wings).

I also noticed that you graduated as an anthropology major from Cal - https://www.linkedin.com/in/kristynhara/ ... (My actual-virtual ethnographic field site is Harbin Hot Springs for ongoing ethnographic projects - https://www.amazon.com/author/scottmacleodworlduniversity. I've given 5 related talks in the TSWG  in the Gifford Room in Kroeber since 2012 too - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/12/doubledays-hummingbird-cynanthus.html) 

Please let me know if you might have any questions, ideas, or suggestions, and looking forward to the 5/26 Stanford EPIC conference. Thank you so much, Kristyn!

Best regards, 

Scott

Stanford Mine Pi Coin where Stanford is mentioned in Tweet below 

Silicon Valley Long-term stock exchange, passed a recent ?

Again, from last month's Minutes:  

The emerging long term Silicon Valley stock exchange has recently been cleared by the Security and Exchange to become the 14th US stock exchange - "Silicon Valley-Backed Venture Cleared to Become 14th U.S. Stock Exchange:
Long-Term Stock Exchange, which could appeal to tech startups, wins SEC approval"
https://www.wsj.com/articles/silicon-valley-backed-venture-cleared-to-become-14th-u-s-stock-exchange-11557511056.

If the WUaS Corporation decides to seek to offer shares on a stock exchange via some kind of IPO - and regarding with, somehow, a single cryptocurrency, such as the mineable "Stanford Mine Pi Coin" - to alleviate poverty via UBI experiments among 7.8 billion people, and lists on the emerging Silicon Valley LONG-TERM stock exchange, the following legal notice may be relevant too.
