Osprey nest: Online education and Quakers, 'Admissions at WUaS' page, Invitation to WUaS monthly business meeting on Saturday, September 14th, How would you suggest reaching out to overachieving high school students in the British Isles, especially Friends, for this free, MIT-centric, online, education opportunity?

Hi Danny and Mary,  Quaker friends and Western Friend Magazine,

Very nice to be in communication with you. Penciling in a meeting after Quaker Meeting at SFFM on 9/15 could work well.

Quaker-informed and MIT OCW-centric World University and School's upcoming, open, hour-long, monthly business meeting (conducted in the manner of Friends, in terms of seeking unity) also meets that weekend, on Saturday, September 14th, from 9 - 10 am Pacific Time in a Google + group video Hangout, if you'd like to meet some Universitians and participate in our WUaS decision-making process.  Here's the emergent agenda on WUaS's blog -  http://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2013/08/september-8-2013-monthly-business.html - with a date change and updated agenda to come. I'll add your email to the WUaS monthly business meeting email list.

I enjoyed your Accredible.com video pitch here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y96u2Yyr_PA - on your G+ page - https://plus.google.com/109536652922135758364/posts. Ptiches in one form or another are something WUaS would like to develop for governments, companies and philanthropists in all 7,105+ languages and 242+ countries, emerging in part from the Society of Friends; Wikipedia is in 285 languages by way of comparison. 

Here's something I just emailed yesterday to a group of SF East Bay Quakers (which editor Mary also received), with more information about WUaS's seeking high school students (especially Quaker overachievers, for example) this autumn from around the world:

"I'm happy to say that Quaker-informed World University and School is taking out its very first advertisement in "Western Friend" magazine this month, and is seeking overachieving, (Friendly), high school students to apply this autumn 2013 and matriculate online in the autumn of 2014 for free, MIT OCW-centric, accrediting, undergraduate degrees (32 courses). Here's the beginning 'Admissions at WUaS' page - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Admissions_at_World_University_and_School#World_University_and_School_Links - but if you know of anyone interested, please simply email worlduniversityandschool@gmail.com."

How would you suggest reaching out to overachieving high school students in the British Isles, especially Friends, for this free, MIT-centric, online, education opportunity? Advertise in "The Friend"? Tour Meetings and Quaker schools, especially in Cambridge and Oxford?

And you'll find here - http://scottmacleod.com/worlduniversityandschool.html - a very first WUaS outreach video for high school students at Friends General Conference in Greeley, Colorado in July 2012, with what students will be studying (e.g. MIT faculty in video, via the conference method interactively with graduate students from great universities, ideally MIT graduate students who have already taken the MIT faculty members' courses in MIT OCW video, and much in Google + group video Hangouts), for planning purposes.

Accredible's creation digital "slates" to showcase your knowledge seems like it will complement in so many ways WUaS's plans for accreditation.

Looking forward to talking further with you, and learning about Accredible.

Friendly regards,

Scott
