WUaS is planning to accredit on MIT Open Course Ware in California, with the same organization that accredits Stanford and Berkeley, to offer free, Bachelor, Ph.D., Law and Medical degrees, online in interactive virtual worlds, using the conference method, (vis-a-vis Reed College), with MIT as the academic standard. Face-to-face education is certainly familiar, but books have been a basis for learning since Gutenberg, and interactive virtual worlds like Second Life, offer remarkable classrooms. WUaS is excited to collaborate with MIT OCW, and then differentiate over years. WUaS is seeking academic overachievers, who might otherwise go to Stanford, Harvard, MIT, etc. Here's a free doctoral degree at Harvard in education at WUaS - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Courses#Free_Ph.D.s - but in Cambridge, MA ... folks who are interested would apply by this December ... :)

Startup, free, open World University & School - like Wikipedia with MIT OCW (with free degrees planned with a MIT academic standard) - plans to wiki-aggregate on its Library Resources' page - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Library_Resources - all open, free, online libraries, including the Digital Public Library of America, (and eventually in all 3,000-8,000 languages - Wikipedia is in 281 languages, for comparison). WUaS is planning our first matriculating Bachelor's degree class in 2014. Is there a way WUaS could opt into any library programs you know of, such as JSTOR-access? -Scott
