Hippopotami: If a liberal arts education is a CANDY STORE of students CHOOSING 32 courses (like computer programs?), over 4 years, of potential FLOW



If a liberal arts education is a CANDY STORE of students CHOOSING 32 courses (like computer programs?), over 4 years, of potential FLOW experiences (Csikszentmihalyi), how to ensweeten MIT OCW at World University & School for FREE Bachelor & Ph.D. degrees? 


Education, ideas & 'flow' experiences can be symphonic. How? 


An important part of this music lies with students enjoying (finding flow), and skillfully playing, the musical instruments of their bodyminds ... 


reading, writing & computing ... 


which may happen more readily with students who choose to go to great universities. 


The web & WUaS can make such opportunities available to all. ... http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Courses 


And how can students enjoy (finding flow), and skillfully play, the musical instruments of their bodyminds, to study & learn ... reading, writing & computing ... like the Grateful Dead jamming for 30 years together ... :) http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Grateful_Dead 





In what ways will World Univ & Sch be accessible on laptop computer screens, smartphones, in virtual worlds, but also in the classroom, and in places like Egypt, in a flash? 


MIT OCW & Khan Academy, for example, in Arabic on Egyptian classroom projectors (even on little Pica projectors:) through World University & School ... http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Languages


Each language at WUaS will become its own ONLINE Univ or Sch. 






How far away is great university bodymind music (for students) from the evolutionary biologically-informed environments of our primate ancestors? 






 ... because we human primates can produce symbols, talk rationally, and learn :) 


 ... and do yogasana:) 


Yoga subject page: http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Yoga and Primates' subject page, at WUaS: http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Primates 




 * 

 I'd love to see a lot of great courses on raga at World Univ & Sch, with so much great, online music by Ravi Shankar :) ... 


 There's already a MIT OCW course here at WUAS on North Indian Music ...http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/India , with only a little music by Ravi Shankar from YouTube ... 


 Check out his Three Ragas CD from 1957 :)) 


 Explore 'singing with' (and improvising with) Ravi ... 



 * 


 There's something about articulating sounds which is creative & generative, and which changes things - your 'cultural reality' - even in far reaching ways :) 


 Talk (with a counselor) and sing ... and produce symbols !! 





 * 

 Try singing with the Dead, too .... http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Grateful_Dead ...



    




 * 

 Singing can be a wonderful practice ... and singing is so easy ... ease into singing? ... a lot? 






How to invent, or apply, something like the patented PageRank (R) algorithm to World University & School ... as WUaS moves to the next WUaS Wiki ... #StanfordLaw How, too, to develop patents vis-a-vis the WUaS Research page: http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Research 



 Is WUaS potentially patentable because it creates a new use, with FREE degrees ? (http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2011/01/hippopotami-if-liberal-arts-education.html - January 28, 2011)
