WUaS and MOOCs!!!
engage MIT OCW in video and audio (~150 undergraduate and graduate courses - http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/audio-video-courses/) and MIT OCW's 2,150 courses (http://ocw.mit.edu/), and build on these ... with high achieving students interested in (free), Creative Commons' licensed MIT OCW-centric degrees.
engage the above MOOC-ification processes ... on the Creative Commons' licensed side of free, online learning ...
And include, on the degree side, and matriculated student side ...
... a kind of Reed College-informed undergraduate education, where students learn to write in the required, first year Humanities' 101 course, and science and how to program in the required, first year Biology course, and then take 32 courses, junior qualifying exams, and write a senior thesis in all academic disciplines.

Create a culture and grow the learning conversation between people, teachers and learners ...
Google group video Hangout + face-to-face interaction for matriculated students
Include Media Lab at MIT (http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Media_Lab_at_World_University_and_School) related making of technologies to this traditional approach to education.
Learning opportunities for teachers at WUaS, and in all languages ... and cultivate the unique and amazing potential for inter-lingual, academic conversation ...
Combine this with the wiki side of WUaS, where YOU or anyone can teach at WUaS, begin a subject, create educationally in new ways ... i.e. YOU can teach and/or create a new, wiki, subject page, and in any language ...
And, business-wise, fundraise from governments around the world in all (242? countries - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Nation_States) in offering free, online MIT OCW-centric education ...
