Very Respectfully, glad Brendan Chan, Senior Program Manager - Computer Science Education at Google is coming into conversation with World Univ & Sch, and regarding these asks - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2022/02/great-horned-owl.html (and see below).

Prasanth, Zalmat, Alvian, others - if CC-4 MIT OCW is reengineered onto a new Google Platform, would you be interested in beginning your PhDs this September 1, 2022?

All best, Scott

Hi Universitians, Prsanth, Mwende, Zalmat, Alvian, All,

'Maximum file size exceeded', so I can't add today's 2/7/22 video recording to WUaS's blogs unfortunately -

https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/

https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/global%20university

And Mwende and I have been having an interesting email conversation about his planning for a 4-year online WUaS Bachelor's degree, and doing the 'CSFirst withGoogle at WUaS' course, which you'll find here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2022/02/american-mink.html

And in today's WUaS News and Q&A I did talk a lot about -

* * * Glad Mwende is making progress with the CC-4 licensed "CS First withGoogle at World Univ & Sch" course, and is thinking in terms of a 4 year 120 credit unit CC-4 ocw.mit.edu -centric World Univ & Sch Bachelor's degree, and potentially a ~7 year PhD program at WUaS following this, or possibly a 3-4 year Law Degree program at WUaS Cameroon - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Cameroon (and you'll find your countries' beginning university here now - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Nation_States - or with time, and in its main languages).

Certificate of completion for "CS First withGoogle at World Univ & Sch" is one focus of today's WUaS News and Q&A ... and in exploring also possibly 4 or 5 courses' micro-degrees, that could also be helpful, for example, for employees in companies even in your countries, and in their main languages (and see the WUaS Minutes regarding ISSIP and micro-credentialing and similar - and search on 'Credentialing" here - https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2022/01/121821-wuas-minutes-for-open-monthly.html and check out the ISSIP video #4 - https://youtu.be/LZ47rJT0wTA, as well as the other 3 related ISSIP videos). WUaS is seeking to build a large student body for Bachelor degrees, PhD degrees, Law degrees, and MD degrees online in each of the Gulf of Guinea countries in Africa, - and in your country too. Mwende, and all, grades on student's transcripts are a form of credentialing too, which system WUaS seeks to improve upon, as WUaS grows to become the Stanford, MIT, Harvard, Cambridge, Oxford, Sciences Po, + of the internet in all ~200 countries and in their main languages! * * *

So this global university conversation can be further explored today here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2022/02/gulf-of-guinea-wuas-news-and-q-m-2722.html - in the blogs above generally, and on Twitter here:

WUaS Press - https://twitter.com/WUaSPress

Scott MacLeod - https://twitter.com/scottmacleod

Languages - World Univ - http://twitter.com/sgkmacleod

But how best to bring your thinking to all of this? Thank you Mwende for emailing your interest and ideas about online free Bachelor and PhD and Law degrees in these regards! How might we all begin to further generate Universities in your countries and in your language not only re WUaS Cameroon - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Cameroon - or WUaS India - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/India - or WUaS Morocco - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Morocco - or WUaS Indonesia - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Indonesia - (Edit these pages?) ... but also in WUaS Google Workspace for Education, say through here at Google -

https://local.google.com/place?id=13580134555851014887&use=posts&lpsid=CIHM0ogKEICAgIDm_YvongE

or at WUaS admin.google.com OR especially for students interested in matriculating at WUAS for free degrees via taking this 'CSFirst withGoogle at World Univ & Sch' course - https://csfirst.withgoogle.com/course/z33wpz ? Mwende, I'm adding the rest of the units to CSFirst WithGoogle at WUaS for you now! Have fun coding!

Prospective PhD students, what kind of 'structure' would you like to see further for your studies and emerging potentially from ocw.mit.edu into https://csfirst.withgoogle.com/s/en/home and even in a realistic virtual earth - https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualEarth?src=hashtag_click - for brain and cognitive science (Prasanth - https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/brain-and-cognitive-sciences/), chemistry (Zalmat - https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/chemistry/ and https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/find-by-topic/#cat=engineering&subcat=computerscience) or economics and statistics (Alvian - https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/economics/& https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/mathematics/18-05-introduction-to-probability-and-statistics-spring-2014/) - and by CLICKING :) as a new way of learning on the computer (see below:)?

Please join this conversation by re-Tweeting, emailing, joining the WUaS News and Q&A or in any number of other distributed ways. As presiding clerk of WUaS, I'm here to listen and synthesize to come to a kind of group shaped consensus on how we grow World Univ & Sch for you! :)

Cheers, Scott

3 'Asks' plus, and thanks to Brendan Chan, lead of the Google Education Team

Hi Brendan,

Thanks so much for your reply again - and the further information. Three 'asks,' please, and in seeking to keep these simple:

A course in May for learning Python and via Lego Robotics' Spike Prime kits, in Cameroon, and in the USA (all 50 states), and potentially in all ~200 countries, and for a hypothetical Mwende Evande in Cameroon, and many other Cameroonian, as well as Gulf of Guinea countries' students?

Additionally, adapt ~3 introductory courses from CC-4 OCW.MIT.EDU to CS First withGoogle at World Univ & Sch, for engagement, also for a hypothetical Mwende Evande, and another 3 beginning in term 3 in September (re 4 month terms at WUaS - September-December, based on 15-16 week long MIT OCW courses)? And similarly, adapt ~3 introductory courses from CC-4 OCW.MIT.EDU to CS First withGoogle at the PhD level for September?

Begin to list the 2-3 Lego Robotics' Kits on "CSFirst withGoogle at World University and School" courses, available potentially in Cameroon Africa (if their departments of Education can reimburse for this). For your information, the WUaS Educational Services' Store is an authorized reseller of 3 Lego Robotics' kits in the USA, and online. Was glad to have seen 'kits' listed (regarding not printing paper for lessons at CSFirst withGoogle at WUaS recently). Thanks so so much!

(Will inquire with the CSFirst help links you shared about an automatically generated Certificate of Completion of CSFirst withGoogle at World Univ & Sch soon - for Mwende Evande, so I don't have to write this by hand on the computer, and the 'authority' of the teacher is removed from the student-teacher interaction, thanks to CSFirst withGoogle).

Thanks too for the suggestion about reaching out to Gmail, as I read you, and regarding potentially WUaS setting up language translation teams for developing courses - say 'CS First with Google at WUaS' in all 22 official languages in India - and for translation of many CC-4 licensed resources+ for WUaS courses and toward free-to-students' online CC-4 ocw.mit.edu-centric WUaS degrees, including this CSFirst withGoogle course, Scratch itself, and CC-4 MIT OCW (in its 4 languages), and CC-3 Yale OpenYaleCourses +. Suggestions please on whom to reach out to at Gmail in some of these regards?

Thanks, Scott
