Two, new, wiki subjects at WUaS - Carnatic Music (south India), -

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

and WUaS Broadband Development (part of WUaS's mission), -

(check out the MIT OCW here)

with an invitation to make music, learn, teach or engage,

and to help make further available open educational resources to people's around the world,

through internet access.

In many ways, World University & School is much more than great open course ware, references and open video teaching and learning. It's really about facilitating to teach and learn now, openly, in the moment, with information technology and on the internet.
