Hi Shankar and Project Happiness Execs,
It would be great to meet all of you, and here's a brief profile of World University and School:
WUaS is like Wikipedia with MIT OpenCourseWare, with free, online, Creative Commons' licensed, accredited, MIT-centric, degrees planned - bachelor (matriculating in 2014), Ph.D. (2015), International Baccalaureate (possibly matriculating in 2015), law (2016), and M.D., (2017) in English, and eventually in many, many languages. WUaS also plans to be in all 7,413+ languages and 204+ countries, as online, CC, wiki schools; Wikipedia is in 285 languages by way of comparison.
Here's the 'Happiness,' wiki, subject page at WUaS for free, open resources, as an example of a wiki, Subject page anyone can create or edit for open teaching and learning, like in Wikipedia - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Happiness - with an invitation to teach to your web camera, to teach a course, or in other ways you create. You'll see the Project Happiness web page - http://www.projecthappiness.org/ - under the "Select Websites" section
(Here's an interesting video I just found on happiness from MIT OCW and added to WUaS - http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/brain-and-cognitive-sciences/9-00sc-introduction-to-psychology-fall-2011/conclusions/ . :)
I've also posted four, further WUaS Profile blog entries below.
Looking forward to meeting you on Monday.
Best regards,
Scott
