New Zealand Sub-Antarctic Islands: Building on Stanford, MIT and Yale's open course ware, WUaS on MediaWiki, List of Great WUaS Universities, Anthro

Building on the 3, free, online, interactive, Stanford, open, computer courses,

http://news.stanford.edu/news/2011/august/online-computer-science-081611.html

with professors,

this autumn,


the < 2000 MIT OCW courses,

http://ocw.mit.edu/index.htm


the 35 Yale OYC, -

http://oyc.yale.edu/


all here at World Univ & Sch -

http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/World_University -

(plus much more),


WUaS facilitates a new, university conversation,

where YOU can teach, learn and create,


all from home on your computer.


Free (Bachelors., PhD, Law, MD) degrees are planned.



*

Wikia is World University & School's current, free, wiki

until WUaS finds MediaWiki experts

(Wikipedia uses MediaWiki, and now is in around 281 languages).

WUaS is planning to be in all 3,000-8,000 languages.


Here's WUaS Information Technologies and Data Plan:

http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/WUaS_Information_Technologies_and_Data_Plan.

WUaS plans to be advertising free, as well, like Wikipedia.

What might you add to this I.T. plan?


In addition to being a meta-directory for open, free teaching and learning resources,

WUaS also plans to offer free degrees (Bachelors, Ph.D. Law, and Medicine),

with its first matriculating Bachelors' class in 2014.



*

World University and School has a focus on great universities' open course ware,

especially these universities -


http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Courses#University_course_listings -

(and the free, Stanford Engineering Everywhere (SEE) has been posted at WUaS for more than a year now).

WUaS wants to link as meta-directory all great open course ware, like SEE.



*

For Anthropologists & everyone:


Please give some thought to how folks,

in countries you know well,

might benefit from a free, open, online university or school -

http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/Nation_States -

and in languages, as well -

http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/Languages.


WUaS plans to be in all languages & countries,

as wiki,

on handheld computers with video,


and as course, teaching and learning, and knowledge archive, too (for millennia).


(For comparison, Wikipedia is in around 281 languages, as wiki, and is becoming an interesting archive, as well).

Te Wahipounamu, South West New Zealand: Japanese Island's anti-Nuclear activists, Germany, sensibly, and with a Plan for Renewables, ENDS Nuclear

Japanese Island's anti-Nuclear activists -

http://mobile.nytimes.com/article?a=833982 ...

Abolish Nuclear

(See WUaS's Nuclear Science & Engineering, wiki, subject page -

http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Nuclear_Science_and_Engineering -

with an invitation to teach, learn and add).


Nuclear waste is a time bomb forever.


*

NRC Report: Transformer "explosion" near turbine building at Maryland nuke plant


http://enenews.com/nrc-report-transformer-explosion-near-turbine-building-at-maryland-nuke-plant ...

Abolish Nuclear ...


(Nuclear industries 'clean energy' rhetoric is fascinating - Nuclear waste is so 'dirty').



*

Germany, sensibly,

and with a plan for renewable energy generation,

closes 8 of 17 of its Nuclear plants!

Good news!



... and will close its remaining 9 nuclear plants by 2022 -

http://mobile.nytimes.com/article?a=834765.


How long until the US and the world follow this sophisticated lead?

Will add article to WUaS's Nuclear Science & Engineering subject

accessible here:
http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Science :)


*

How long until California,

with so much SUN,

follows Germany's sensible lead and closes its 2 nuclear plants!


Now, when will the rest of the US and the world follow California's, smart NO NUKES' lead?


*

Where's California's state plan,

competitive with Germany's plan,

which showed Germany that closing 8 nuclear plants,

and all by 2022,

and planning for renewables,

is feasible,

(and that it would spur innovation,

and solar market opportunities for German companies)?


Wake up California ...

use Germany's plan to further invigorate California sun companies

(http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Solar_Energy).



... will add such plans, if found, to WUaS's Solar page(s)


TW:

I suspect California can't follow Germany's plan because CA doesn't have the efficiencies in its energy consumption that Germany has developed since the reconstruction after WWII.


Scott:

Perhaps, yet there are remarkable solar innovation opportunities for California, too, and/but which Germany will capitalize on in taking this planned, bold move toward eliminating nuclear by 2022 by closing 17 nuclear sites. California's plan to abolish nuclear could also spur California ingenuity in solar renewables, and potentially save California from nuclear catastrophes and the extraordinary costs of forever-nuclear-waste ... Governor Jerry Brown, who wrote a book on solar energy, and who is against nuclear, could send California on a sensible path forever, legally, but outlawing Nuclear as a forever-public-danger. California's competition sets a high bar, and yet to close CA nuclear reactors in earthquake zones, which could ruin Calif forever, makes enormous economic sense.


TW:

I'm no apologist for nukes and definitely support a conversion, but look at the demand side. If you look at per capita energy consumption I'm sure you'll find Germany's is far lower which is the point I was trying to make. The bar is much higher for CA to match consumption with production. Micro-efficiencies in every household in Germany exist only in a few 'trendy' green homes in CA at premium prices.


SM:

Makes sense & good points ... yet California is much milder in winter ... I've heard that CA's 2 plants - Diablo Canyon and San Onofre, both upwind of LA and San Diego, in the event of a 'Fukushima' - produce about 17 per cent of California's electricity. I'd be interested to read Germany's solar energy output numbers in their plan. If I find this plan I'll add it to World Univ & Sch's some of the following Solar Energy, Nuclear Science and Ocean and Climate Change plan pages (http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Subjects) ... I suspect Californians, post 1960s, have also generated similar plans to the German ones ... I wonder where we might find them.


TW:

17 %--certainly shows CA's vulnerability. Sheesh.

Phoenix Islands Protected Area, Kiribati: Is bicycle riding a good metaphor for talking about Musical Instrument Practicing, Daily PLAY, How?

Are bicycle riding,

and learning to ride a bicycle,

good metaphors for talking with kids about practicing a musical instrument -

e.g. 'just getting the hand movements into your bodymind, like riding a bicycle,'

(because kids want, and like, to learn to bicycle ride, and getting 'it'

is fun and clear change which is learned.



And is the 'PLAY' word, as in 'daily playing,' better language,

a sensible approach?


How best to play over 10 years, with music?


Parental guidance on piano improvisation (with radio) would be useful for kids.

How to make this easy here and helpful, here:

Saryarka – Steppe and Lakes of Northern Kazakhstan: WUaS is one of the greenest universities in the world, Its school 'color,' Mascots, Research

World University & School is one of the greenest universities ...

being all online ...

in the world.

Its school 'color' is the green of nature,

and you can see its logo here - http://worlduniversity.wikia.c​om/wiki/Ecology

Avatars are its mascots, - sometimes morphing ...

Come play with ideas in the green world of WUaS ...




WUaS's colors in a school color sense, as I see them upon further reflection, are both really Rainbow, and the salmons, reds, ochres and yellows of warm landscapes, and India-like flowers and colors, in addition to the green of forests, and the colors of nature.



WUaS's color is also very much blue, a deep blue, the blue of the Friends' Dalton Letter, with this color code #000099

http://scottmacleod.com/daltonletter.htm




*

And in terms of WUaS research, 'Green; energy research, such as solar, and low-carbon, are and will be key foci, as are all kinds of other profitable, sustainable and clean energy research foci

Similarly, biomedical research will be a focus, as will language, brain and computer science ...

Dear R,

Interesting Manifesto/Imperative ...

http://www.hedweb.com/hedab.htm

which I'll look at more closely, and, perhaps add this to WUaS.


I think evolutionary biology
(http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Evolutionary_Biology)

(we're all 3.5 billion years' old, in a sense)

selected for pain (genetically),


and some current foci on suffering perhaps reflects memes


(replicating cultural units/words),


in religious traditions' language, for example,


about which we may have choice
(http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Agency).


I think these Loving Bliss memes are under-explored -
http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Loving_Bliss_%28eliciting_this_neurophysiology%29 ...

(or Music ones, which are unique memes, in that they're tones,
http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Music),

or
Counseling
http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Counseling

or Psychotherapy
http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Psychotherapy


... other wellness-related ideas ) :)



My summer is continuing to be creative,

although I'd like WUaS's finances to change for the better.


Looking forward to keeping at touch.

Happy travels,
Scott

Yakushima, Japan: It's a question of FOCUS that shapes how students learn, WUaS offers so many 'WOW' gifts, Stanford Artificial Intelligence course

In many ways, it's a question of FOCUS that shapes how students learn,

and what students focus on often comes out of their culture,

e.g. families, especially their parents.


WUaS is making wiki-accessible MIT OCW plus conversation,

at the university level,

inviting students to focus here,

with flow esp., and fun :)

Ujung Kulon National Park, Indonesia: Wikipedia's 'openness vs. credibility of articles,' Limiting for WUaS, Any thoughts posting to Wikipedia?

Dear R,

How are you? Here's my comment on your posting of "Is Wikipedia Losing Editors?" (http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/is_wikipedia_losing_editors.php), today.

I've found Wikipedia's defining 'openness vs. credibility of articles' inherent conflict to be limiting. To be able to add/edit a page about anything is amazing, thanks to wiki, and vis-a-vis knowledge production, too, but I haven't yet been able to add the Wikipedia-like (while presently using a Wikia wiki), World University & School (http://worlduniversity.wik​ia.com/wiki/World_Universi​ty), which I've been developing since 2008, due to WUaS not having yet received any press or 3rd party references (even with CA incorporation & 501 c 3 status), which WUaS is working on. I've tried a number of time. ... It's a funny wiki world :) Scott (http://scottmacleod.com/wo​rlduniversityandschool.htm) ... And I haven't been able to contact Wikipedia in an effective way, either. And I've edited and added a number of Wikipedia entries. Openness is the way to keep editors, I believe.

Any thoughts about how to get World University and School into Wikipedia (which, if Wikipedia's protocols worked as they might intend, probably could have happened 3 years ago). Getting an entry for WUaS will open a variety of ways to develop, including fundraising-wise, in a variety of ways.

Thank you!

All the best,
Scott

*

While humans do, and can, learn

(e.g. most people in the developed world can read),

I'm surprised more of us don't focus fulsomely on eliciting Loving Bliss

(see this subject here -

http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Loving_Bliss_%28eliciting_this_neurophysiology%29

http://worlduniversity.wikia.c​om/wiki/Subjects).


My current hypothesis is twofold:

that we haven't talked enough about this L.B. neurophysiology,

and that our 'common chimp' legacy (as primatolgoical narratives)

(in contrast to a possible 'bonobo chimp' one)

from ancestral environments & our evolutionary history is too much part of our bodyminds.

http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Primatology
