WUaS plans to create around 204, accredited, online universities, in some of the main languages in those countries, (the number per the Olympics' countries), many offering Creative Commons' licensed bachelor, Ph.D., law and M.D. degrees, and 7,413+ wiki-schools, each a wiki page to begin, (per the languages in "The Ethnologue").
I've long been curious and fascinated by the culture of learning in the greater Boston, Massachusetts area with 52 institutions of higher learning (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_colleges_and_universities_in_metropolitan_Boston) and particularly with Harvard and MIT, as some of the greatest universities in the U.S. and possibly worldwide. How did this culture of learning, especially vis-a-vis research, find form in the Boston area as place?
WUaS would like to generate an ethos of excellence among its online universities and schools, and how can it learn from the Harvard and MIT and Boston higher education conversation, and over centuries? How? Come into conversation with them, and other great universities?
While WUaS is MIT OCW-centric to begin, and will long be MIT-centric, WUaS also eventually plans to engage the Open Educational Resources (OER) of these great universities - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Courses#University_course_listings - worldwide, as a Creative Commons' licensed university, to eventually generate C.C. resources in many languages.
I'm also curious to help facilitate World University and School's pages - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Subjects - to come alive with community, conversation, music, research, knowledge-generation, information technology, and people's creativity over time, a kind of flourishing, and as a wiki, and in all languages and countries.
