Alps Wilderness: World University and School

Some of the things unique about this World University and School Wiki approach are the following.

First, it uses a Wiki approach, where I think a lot of creativity and innovation will come from, because anyone can post or take a class. Like Wikipedia and Craig's List, I hope it will make available courses and information people want, and to a lot of people, freely and openly - to complement learning opportunities already available on the WWW and on the ground.

Second, it focuses on excellence in education, vis-a-vis great universities, including MIT, Ivy League Schools, Stanford, U.C. Berkeley, Oxford, T.U.M., Sorbonne, L.M.U., Juilliard, Cambridge, Caltech, Berlin Technical University, University of Chicago, etc., first by aggregating what's already on the World Wide Web. There's a lot 'out there' already. If a degree-granting side emerges, engaging an already existing University system makes most sense.

Third, it also focuses on the developing world, as well as everyone, which may make chip, telecommunication and computer makers want to support WUaS, because it offers a rationale for extending the WWW further in the name of learning. Here's a book from the MIT press which addresses how to wire the developing world: "The Road to Broadband Development in Developing Countries Is By Competition Driven By Wireless and Internet Telephony" -
mitpressjournals.org/doi/abs/10.1162/itid.2007.3.2.21?cookieSet=1&journalCode=itid as a complementary perspective.

And fourth, WUaS's vision includes the beginnings of a virtual medical school, Ph.D. program, music school, and International Baccalaureate certificates, - potentially all degrees in all languages and subjects.
