Dear
Friend:
Please
support World University and School in its work for MIT OCW-centric,
online degrees, and worldwide learning! WUaS is a global, digital,
open, free-to-students, multilingual university & school, where
anyone can teach or take a class or course; it's like Wikipedia with
MIT Open Course Ware. World University and School is an education and
service organization that can change thousands of lives each year.
Quaker-informed
World
University & School is seeking undergraduate students for free,
online, MIT OCW-centric, bachelor’s degrees to apply in the autumn
of 2013, for matriculation in autumn 2014 -
http://scottmacleod.com/WUaSFriendsFlyerforProspectiveStudentApplicants.pdf
- and is already open for learning as wiki. You or anyone can teach a
course or take a class now at wiki (editable web pages) WUaS, and
WUaS is planning to do this in all 7,413 + languages, and < 205
countries, potentially with many, free degrees, or at any level of
education.
We
are planning five degrees - Bachelor, Law, I.B., M.D., and Ph.D. -
with matriculating classes in 2014 in English. To support these
free, MIT OCW-centric, Creative Commons’ licensed degrees, WUaS
seeks to raise $100,000 in our 2012 capital campaign, and $125, 000
in next year's campaign. Come join WUaS’s Gold, Silver or Bronze
Giving Circles here -
http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/$100,000_Capital_Campaign_at_World_University_and_School_for_2012
- before our fiscal year ends on December 31, 2012. If you’d like
to help volunteer at World University and School, we’ve recently
begun the ‘Association for WUaS’ -
http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Association_for_World_University_and_School
- to help with merchandising WUaS, for example, in WUaS’s upcoming,
online Bookstore / Computer store -
http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Bookstore_/_Computer_Store_(New_&_Used)_at_WUaS.
And
World University & School plans to expand steadily to make
teaching and learning materials available in all language and
countries, each a wiki page to begin. WUaS is designing this
educational resource to work on "One Laptop Per Child"
computers in Rwanda, Ethiopia, Colombia, Haiti, Mexico, Peru,
Uruguay, Afghanistan, Mongolia, Cambodia, & Papua New Guinea.
These resources will also work on video-capable, programmable, mobile
phone-like devices ("broadband video on a handheld computer").
And people in developing world countries can add their own teaching
and learning resources to World University's wiki (editable, web
pages). MIT Open Course Ware will be our model for degree-granting,
academic, course work. With the interactive Google + video hangouts
+, and virtual worlds, it's now possible to engage with almost every
aspect of learning which occurs in the classroom, especially
INTERACTIVELY, through group video, group voice communication, group
text chat, as well as video streaming. On its own and in connection
with these technologies, World University and School has the
potential to generate a remarkable archive of courses over time.
We
need your help. You can make 501 (c) (3), U.S., federal,
