How to innovate with free public education at the University level? ... UC Berkeley and U Michigan are expensive, for example, and it's open to debate whether they are innovating.

"My Internet is broken today. Hitting that “all known thought” button on my toolbar gives me a quick, maddening glimpse of Wikipedia that is then overtaken by a black screen that asks me to “Imagine a world without free knowledge.” I just did and I didn’t like it, now can I have my Wikipedia back?" ... http://mediadecoder.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/01/18/how-im-surviving-or-trying-to-without-wikipedia-at-my-fingertips/ ... Here's World Univ & Sch's wiki, "Wiki," subject page - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Wiki - for open teaching and learning about wiki, with an invitation to YOU, to edit a WUaS page, and to which I'm adding the above article ...

Aaron Shaw's "A modest academic fantasy: free syllabi" (http://fringethoughts.wordpress.com/2012/01/09/modest-academic-fantasy/)

Please check out World University & School's main Subjects' page ... with its many, extensible, academic subjects: http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Subjects. Each subject has a 'Select Syllabi' section, - see, for example, the WUaS Subject Template - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/SUBJECT_TEMPLATE - which is also how anyone can begin their own, new subject at WUaS. (Wiki http://webnographers.org/ had a number of "Society and Information Technology" syllabi but it was possibly trashed (censorship) and has seemed to move away from the Creative Commons side of things, now wanting monies to start up again). Wiki World University and School is like Wikipedia with MIT Open Course Ware, with free degrees planned, accrediting on MIT OCW.

If you know of already existing syllabi projects, WUaS is another good place to link their URLs.

Thanks for initiating this great idea and project!

Best regards,
Scott
