Dear Universitians,
Greetings from a Reed College Reunion -
https://plus.google.com/+ InfoWorldUniversityinEnglish/ posts/AABfCAfTcnH - in Portland, Oregon.
NEWS about World University and School:
a) WUaS's front page update - http:// worlduniversityandschool.org/ :
World University and School
seeks 17 year old students to apply for FREE
Creative Commons' licensed best STEM OpenCourseWare-centric
undergraduate degrees (BA/BS) this autumn 2016
(accrediting on CC MIT OCW in 7 languages and CC Yale OYC)
matriculating online in the autumn of 2017
(MIT OCW Creative Commons' licensing and endorsement clarifications ... )
b) Please let WUaS know if you are available to help develop a WUaS project. Julian in Romania and I are developing some team processes for developing WUaS further, which you'll find here -https://docs.google.com/ document/d/ 1BlAOsIXmURtrw8G2PAjWtZihomJnl l3Ns6C1gBmlNcQ/edit?usp= sharing.
WUaS may eventually move into Phabricator for this as we scale, but for
the time being we'll develop this in GDocs and may reach out to you
with specific projects.
c) To reiterate from last month: In an extended WUaS correspondence this spring with
MIT Assistant Dean of Online Learning Cecilia d'Oliveira (who was
executive director of CC MIT OCW for about 10 years before this), Creative Commons' licensed WUaS further clarified that we can
"share" and "adapt" CC MIT OCW in 7 languages and CC Yale OYC, under
specific attributes, by adding this to a database such as
Wikidata/Wikibase in about ~358 languages,
d)
WUaS is also hoping to emerge out of Wikidata/Wikibase as wiki schools
for open teaching and learning this summer (WUaS donated WUaS to
Wikidata last autumn) perhaps with You at World University - http://worlduniversity. wikia.com/wiki/Admissions_at_ World_University_and_School - finding form in an adaptation of "[Wikidata] SQID evolved again: references" - http://tools.wmflabs.org/ sqid/#/view?id=Q42).
e)
WUaS is seeking high school students from around the world to apply
this autumn 2016, as if applying to MIT or Stanford, for free CC
accrediting undergraduate degrees, first in English, and matriculating
online in 2017.
Sincerely,
Scott

Thank you for joining the World University and School team. WUaS invites you to participate in our open, hour-long, monthly, business meeting on Saturday, June 11th, beginning at 9 a.m., Pacific Time / 12 noon ET.

I've attached WUaS's financial report for May 2016 in this WUaS business meeting email.

And this month I'll continue to send out a second email after business meeting with WUaS Minutes.

Concerning this WUaS team email list, we'll generally send out business meeting emails once a month. If you'd like to receive more frequent, sporadic, WUaS emails, please reply to this email telling me so.

Free, Creative Commons' licensed, online, wiki WUaS, like Wikipedia with MIT OCW, is planned for all 3,000-8,000 languages and for around 204 countries, with free degrees accrediting on C.C. MIT OpenCourseWare in 7 languages and C.C. Yale OYC+, - and will help many, many people.
