Minutes for 5/15/21 World Univ & Sch (and WUaS Press) open monthly business meeting - both wings 



Dear World Universitians, and friends,

Here are the 5/15/21 WUaS open Monthly Business Meeting Minutes for 1) World Univ & Sch's Monthly Business Meeting, & 2) the WUaS Corp. WUaS continues to plan for free-to-students' CC-4 OpenCourseWare-centric online PhDs and Bachelor degrees for 9/1/21, in English, and then in all ~200 countries and in their major languages, as well as for wiki schools for open teaching and learning in all 7,139 living languages.

Here is a video recording from 5/15/21 WUaS Monthly Business Meeting, with some further thinking about WUaS without edX, and our next WUaS steps, regarding edX-WUaS not collaborating this September 1, 2021 for free-to-students' PhD and 4 year Bachelor degree programs:

World Univ & Sch is not going to partner with edX afterall, which WUaS learned on Friday, May 14, 2021. WUaS has also asked our prospective WUaS PhD program students to send WUaS the courses they'd like to take beginning September 1, 2021 in their first year, with this email: 

"Please send http://ocw.mit.edu and https://oyc.yale.edu/ courses you'd like to take in your 1st year beginning 9/1/21 for #WUaSFreeToStudents' online #WUaSPhDdegrees to start. 

Sincerely, Scott"


Some further WUaS directions as a consequence of this new development: 

Thank you Matthew at edX for letting me know:  "that at this time edX has decided not to engage in a partnership with World University and School." And thank you, edX, now for the opportunity for WUaS to focus further on World University and School growth with CC-4 MIT OpenCourseWare courses (in 4 languages), and CC-3 Yale University OpenYaleCourses - in WUaS seeking to become a major online university in each of 200 countries. (WUaS seeks to do so initially now by hiring potentially Quaker graduate student instructors, via Friends' institutions, to teach 'to' these OCW and OYC, for example). Thank you too, edX, for the growth opportunity for WUaS now to focus on coding for 7.8 billion people in 200 countries, and in 7,139 known living languages, in WUaS G-Suite for Education, for ex., - as wiki teachers and learners too (with Wikidata in Wikipedia's 300 languages, and WUaS in Wikidata), and as matriculating students, for, people-to-people, free universal wiki education in these languages, in addition to free Bachelor, PhD, Law, MD and IB degrees in 200 countries' main languages. 

To edX, further: and thanks to the recent ISSIP "“Facilitating Excellence in Learning," Honorable Mention Award for WUaS (https://twitter.com/TheOpenBand/status/1392506400614477832?s=19), World University and School, will now be able to explore this in new ways - and even regarding inventing education in new ways with information technologies (& thanks to Google's Peter Norvig and AI, machine learning, for example, among many others). 

And as Jim Spohrer (MIT BS & Yale CS PhD alum) suggested some weeks ago, checking in again regarding edX-WUaS future collaborations, in a year, for example, might open good opportunities. Please give my thanks on behalf of World University and School to edX CEO and MIT Professor Anant Agarwal as well. I found Anant's 5/12/21 SXSW observations on this panel "Accepting That a Degree Is Not a Panacea | SXSW EDU 2021" - https://youtu.be/zegW42VtfEI (https://twitter.com/agarwaledu/status/1393257760154923009?s=19) timely and topical with regards to where edX is now heading after these months of our edX-WUaS communication, and WUaS continues to think that free-to-students' PhDs and 4 year Bachelor degrees (CC-4 MIT OCW-centric, and CC-3 Yale OYC-centric, with reimbursement from Departments of Education in 200 countries) will continue to be a remarkable life affirming opportunity (regarding careers +) for WUaS's matriculating students (in addition to Law, MS & IB degrees in the future). While WUaS continues to be very degree focused, we also think that complementary wiki people-to-people education - where people can become the teachers of what they love, or know how, to easily teach - will potentially facilitate some of the aspects all of these SXSW panelists talked about.



World Univ & Sch continues to steer forward with OPEN #FriendlyQuaker Monthly Business Meeting, with this mission: 

The mission of @WorldUnivAndSch is free best STEM CC-4 OCW degrees & wiki education for all 7.8 billion people, & courses, in all 7,139 languages ~ http://worlduniversityandschool.org& seeks esp. to offer online degrees and diplomas in ~200 countries' main languages https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Foundation ~

https://twitter.com/sgkmacleod/status/1390793719788412932?s=20

https://twitter.com/scottmacleod/status/1390794223973277696?s=20

Eventually, WUaS seeks to create academic careers and jobs (as many as 2.2 million possibly, and on both wings of WUaS) in all these 7,139 languages - and in all 200 countries, both on-the-ground and virtually, with related business Actual-Virtual, Physical-Digital plan.

ISSIP Award to World Univ & Sch:
“Facilitating Excellence in Learning," Honorable Mention

Thanks so much to ISSIP for this award, on behalf of MIT OCW-centric wiki World University and School, planned in each of all ~200 countries and in their main and official languages, and in all 7139 known living languages, as wiki schools for open teaching and learning.

2021, May - “Facilitating Excellence in Learning," Honorable Mention, from the ISSIP Awards Program:

Thanks to FAHE - Friends' Association for Higher Education - for its recent "Quaker Academics" panel talk, and regarding, for one, exploring further developing World University and School, in the 26 or 27 out of 200 Arabic language countries, with a Friendly focus: 

Thanks, Sa’ed, Cara, David, Walter, Donn (All),

Thanks for your timely and topical Friendly "Quaker Academics' conversation on April 27, 2021:

Possibly in conjunction with FAHE, WUaS may explore collaborating with the Quaker Tri-Colleges' libraries (with University of Pennsylvania too?), newly online - for online libraries (post coronavirus pandemic).

Could WUaS possibly join the 'Tri-Colleges' Consortium, and Penn" made up of Bryn Mawr College, Haverford College, and Swarthmore College, and the University of Pennsylvania - for online libraries, in part, but in other ways too - especially regarding the PhD, Law, MD and IB high school degrees WUaS seeks to offer - and in 200 countries and in their main languages - for Friendly higher education knowledge-generation, and faculty positions, and much more?

Scott MacLeod has continued to whistle-blow about wrongdoing ethically in institutions, places, individuals in the SF Bay Area and northern California in recent years. See 'ethics' blog label - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/ethics - for one. ... And WUaS is seeking to further develop an ethical online culture at WORLD UNIVERSITY AND SCHOOL and even as WUaS plans to code for all 7.8 billion people on the planet in all 200 countries. WUaS hopes that legal developments in the last year due to the coronavirus pandemic, at the state, federal, and international levels in the USA, and related developments in all ~200 countries and in their official languages will further facilitate an ethical culture at WUaS, and even regarding bending "the long arc of the moral universe towards justice" (https://youtu.be/QCw_D7dr7Rw - 7:00 minute marker), per Peter Norvig, at the 2016 UC Berkeley Information School Commencement ceremony  - possibly in some of these language question-directions too; (see, too - https://twitter.com/WUaSPress/status/1378397513674235905?s=20).

https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/05/patagonian-cypress-fitzroya-pulling_12.html


Diversity is part of seeking to create social justice at WUaS in seeking speakers of all 7139 languages as wiki teachers & learners, as well as matriculating students, first in English, but then in developing online major universities in all ~200 countries, in their official and main languages.

WUaS had reached out to Ethnologue with the email communications here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/05/ethnologue-languages-7139.html . . .

WUaS Music School & Lessons

World Univ & Sch Music School - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Music_School - (planned in ALL 7,139 known living languages, with ALL instruments, each a wiki subject page, to begin - and perhaps with usefulness being first a criterion for building these wiki pages for community engagement with machine learning - with echoes of Wikipedia's 300 languages' wiki pages, and each of their communities and stewards even too - what role private tuition and instruction may play. 

{Scott is proceeding to take lessons on the Scottish Small Pi(pes with PM Stuart Liddell (both private and Topical group Lessons) which could be one way to explore collaborating with greatest music teachers at WUaS (and how to develop and cultivate this?}

World Universitians, you have an invitation to wiki-teach "to" (e.g. in video, or a myriad of other ways), and learn from. wiki World Univ & Sch's Music Schools as these wiki music schools begin to grow :)

And regarding a first lesson with PM Stuart LIddell, in what ways could WUaS develop a kind of input-output approach (see too this "A special Google I/O edition" special update - https://notifications.google.com/g/vib/AD-FnEzWjKytAogW-AnxegFp94pIHhEhUi7ZLXNJuDDGxw6ey-e-pB_hC1ajC1pOirAD9voP8dHftnxTfoAvesW9uNzYh3OmzUdhdEaeTw3HsjQ8ypYLNukI4f7FBerpbVYCuFSo_bAB18z8LVtfL7CaQB1-S9GeMkc1HfbRsM1m8Rz_q4CzXVHE53FbwJ2R) to teaching and learning, and which Stuart even touched on in this video -
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xDeuJtcwVu8i0ubW2sgDfey3zm5WtAEX/view (https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/05/hibiscus-trionum-modesty-first-lesson.html) in the 'bagpiping' label in the blog. Scott is developing his first Scottish Small PIpes' album of Piobaireachd, classical Scottish bagpipe music. 



8
Stanford Biomedical Data Science Seminar - Th May 20, 2021 - which WUaS is attending relating to the WUaS Medical Schools - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Medical_School - and online teaching hospitals - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Hospital - planned in ~200 countries and in their official and main languages. 

In a related vein, WUaS is glad to have attended a recent related Stanford Medicine Drug Discovery Symposium recently:

Golden pheasant: Stanford Medicine Drug Discovery Symposium . . . and Dr. Joan Mannick MD's longevity talk * Dr Woodcock, @DrWoodcockFDA, and regarding how best to plan for #WUaSclinicalTrials w FDA for speakers of all 7,139 known living languages - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Clinical_Trials_at_WUaS_(for_all_languages) in 200 countries? Think #GoogleStreetView w #TIMESLIDER /Maps/Earth with #AvatarBotElectronicMedicalRecords - #COVID19 #SDDS2021~ * * How best to master biology itself with 1 #RealisticVirtualEarth a #RealisticVirtualEarthForGenetics a #RealisticVirtualEarthForEvolutionaryBiology re #SDDS2021 w @StanfordDeptMed for #COVID19 vaccines @ #WUaScellAtomLevels & w #AvatarBotElectronicMedicalRecords for 7.8 bil. peop? * * Video recordings from Days 1 & 2, Agenda, Speakers

https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/04/golden-pheasant-stanford-medicine-drug.html

Glad also to learn from Stanford Medicine's Jonathan H Chen, @jonc101x May 17, about
"ongoing work to develop a similar resource and models for dynamic live-cell imaging data."

https://twitter.com/jonc101x/status/1394314689245483010?s=20

... regarding potentially an #ActualVirtual - https://twitter.com/hashtag/ActualVirtual?src=hashtag_click - single realistic virtual earth for genetics, for example - https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualEarthForGenetics?src=hashtag_click - and at the cellular level (and hopefully with the molecular/atomic level in the future too!:)

How best to inspire young scientists to go into STEM fields, and regarding aging reversal (beyond longevity) genetic drug development questions, for example? See this George Church interview for one:

George Church just Tweeted this great video interview - https://youtu.be/WZwRe6ht8yg - of him, by a young interviewer - https://twitter.com/geochurch/status/1392899305485254657?s=20 - about STEM and much more, including aging reversal; Very inspiring for teenagers who are interested in science!

Could Harvard & MIT Professor of Genetics' George Church genetically engineer himself back to become a 20 year old again, eventually I wonder? 

See, too, this i) WUaS Minute from Feb 2021, and ii) this blog post from March 2021:

i)
"Seems preposterous that an aging reversal genetic engineering drug therapy - say with a cream - could reverse age back to newborn size but check out this puppy http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/02/xoloitzcuintle-mexican-hairless-dog.html?m=0 in today's Minutes" (from WUaS Monthly Business Meeting on 2/20/21)...

ii)
Crater Lake National Park: MIT OCW & Aging Reversal puppy pic ~ Seems highly improbable that aging reversal drugs - and a genetic drug therapy cream even - could revert this newborn puppy to an embryonic form :) * * Be careful SPECULATIVELY re #AgingReversal drugs (re regulation) SIZE- & AGE-wise esp. Cells programmed in REVERSE (is one idea here) :) * * * Niantic's Pokemon Go and WUaS collaborations re WUaS Gaming and a single realistic virtual earth for Augmented Reality?

WUaS Home Robotics -

Could this GREAT Robotics' course, transposed to MIT OCW, become, in a way, WUaS's 4th terms' robotics' course, with WUaS sending home the tools, the materials, and the GameBoard to matriculated students in all 200 countries, after they developed their robotics and programming skills with i) Lego WeDo2.0, ii) Lego SpikePrime, and iii) Lego Mindstorms - of which WUaS Educational Services' Store is an authorized carrier (only in the USA so far) - along with the Scratch programming language (in up to 100 languages with Google Translate)?

Check out this amazing home robotic competition :)

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



11
Stanford EPIC (Education Partnership for Internationalizing Curriculum (EPIC))
2021 EPIC Symposium: Integrating Global Topics into Community College Curricula
https://sgs.stanford.edu/outreach/community-college/epic-symposium/2021-epic-symposium

WUaS is glad to be attending this on Saturday May 22, 2021, (DATE CORRECTION) and regarding thinking through licensing and accreditation further too, and regarding especially California Community Colleges, and WUaS likely matriculating many students initially as speakers of English as a second language.



12
The open
Bay Area Stammtisch, at 10:30 am Pacific Time - continues to meet at 10:30 am Pacific Time on Saturdays, much in German, but also in English. Email info@worlduniversityandschool.org if you'd like to participate.

Minutes for Monthly Meeting at the WUaS Corporation 

WUaS Press / WUaS Corporation - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/AcademicPress.html.

WUaS Corporation / WUaS Press -
Academic Press at WUaS - planned in ~200 countries and in 7,139 known living languages with machine translation, and for Actual-Virtual bookstores/cafes, Computer stores, Robotics' stores, Hospital technologies' distribution centers, and in a realistic virtual earth for actual-virtual robotics, and tele-robotic surgery in 200 medical schools, with 200 online teaching hospitals



A
Regarding WUaS exploring facilitating Stanford Mine Pi Coin on even the Silicon Valley Long-Term Stock Market, and coding for all 7.8 billion people in 200 countries on the planet - and to end poverty - and combined with facilitating all 7.8 billion people as wiki teachers and learners, about knowledge they have and can share and teach about newly digitally on a wiki, this project is on hold per WUaS Monthly Business Meeting conversation; stay tuned. 

(And see, too, these Tweets - https://twitter.com/PZilgalvis/status/1389511759573159938?s=20 - with Stanford mentioned and with Security and Exchange Commissioner Hester Peirce, and MIT DCI Director Neha Narula:

Thnx@HesterPeirce @neha for great talk https://mitbitcoinexpo.org/speakers.html Thoughts abt #StanfordMinePi & #BlockchainReg & re #WUaSUBIexperiments to end poverty for 7.8 billion people in ~200 countries to DISTRIBUTE #SingleCryptocurrency backed by most central banks https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/05/purple-chinese-houses-collinsia.html?

https://twitter.com/HarbinBook/status/1389662759235710976?s=20

(Here's the Tweet which mentions Stanford again: 
"Today, “Let’s talk Blockchain regulation! EU/SEC/Coindesk/Stanford - Blockdata”
@joinClubhouse I’ll speak along with @LeConcurrential @NoelleInMadrid @jpknegtel @HesterPeirce I’ll address legislation, regulatory sandboxes, innovation, the European Blockchain Partnership, EBSI"

https://twitter.com/PZilgalvis/status/1389511759573159938?s=20)


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 - https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2021/04/41721-minutes-for-wuas-open-monthly.html - and search on 'Legal notices example ...'.

Brainstorming-wise, could WUaS eventually begin to get houses for faculty and staff in the SF east bay, and in all 200 countries (since WUaS educationally seeks to be all online - with a big box, medium box, little box actual-virtual bookstores/cafes / computer stores / robotics stores / hospital technologies distribution centers - as the only physical aspect of WUaS currently), - and have these be interesting (or make this such) architecturally especially.

WUaS Educational Services' Store seeks to develop in many languages with a professional website - and potentially in Google Sites: 

WUaS continues to plan for the WUaS Educational Services' Store continues 
regarding 

i) an Actual-Virtual strategy, and 2 
ii) a big box, middle box, little box, retail growth strategy in all 200 countries, and in their main languages, and also virtually in all 7,139 known living languages, where useful. 

...  so a big box, medium box, little box retail approach for actual-virtual bookstores/cafes / computer stores / robotics stores / hospital technologies distribution centers
