Acampe: India World University and School, planned in Hindi, MIT Professor Anant Agarwal and Ankit Khandelwal, Could WUaS eventually hire 1 million people in all 7,943+ languages - where ~700,000 of these are students working 10 hours per week in each of all countries?, If ways open, and CC WUaS can begin to offer CC MIT OCW-centric accrediting university and high school degrees in India for free (CC) first in English and eventually in Hindi and potentially other languages in India, would you like to explore offering your Zero Cost MBA (the MIT OCW part especially) as part of WUaS in English and in Hindi, as part of this WUaS accreditation (with probably WASC senior, which accredits Stanford and Berkeley +) process?

Namaste, Ankit, 

Thanks for these articles about your great and interesting engagements with online learning - http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/nricontributeprofile/11738643.cms - and - http://ocw.mit.edu/about/ocw-stories/ankit-khandelwal/. I've looked through the links you sent as well.

- What worlduniversity actually want to achieve? How different is it from University of People, or platforms like Saylor.org in providing education?

WUaS seeks a matriculating class of possibly 2000 highest achieving (smart) undergraduate students from all ~206 nations in the world in autumn 2017 for a free, CC MIT OCW-centric Bachelor's degree (who would take 36 and finish MIT/Yale courses over 4 years) from their homes (as if applying, getting into Harvard/MIT, and getting a degree from), and then in the following years WUaS students for Ph.D, law and MD, as well as I.B. high school diplomas in the following years, first in English - and eventually in Hindi at wiki India World University and School - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/India. 

Besides these degrees in all ~206 countries' main languages - "WUaS Harvards/Stanfords of the Web in each country" - WUaS plans to create Wiki schools in all 7943+ languages (and as markets on the for-profit side - per the 14 Planned WUaS Revenue Streams). 400 matriculating committed students from India - with developing links with the India and Ministry of Education and other governmental educational departments in India - would be great. (Here's a blog post from today outlining where WUaS is with developing our new wiki in MediaWiki/Wikidata - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2016/09/bengal-tiger-wuas-in-mediawiki-and.html - as well as with links to MIT OCW and Yale OYC). WUaS plans to offer courses from MIT OCW and Yale OYC with graduate students in group video teaching to the the MIT and Yale faculty.


- Can you elaborate your question related to speaking with Anant Agarwal? You can check the actual article here: http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/nricontributeprofile/11738643.cms

I was just curious about whether you knew him / of Anant Agarwal. He also knows the educational landscape of India - from a MIT / Stanford perspective, for example. He's also an example of a highest achieving student and professor (at MIT - and very smart, and great:) - and a professor of a MIT OCW course as well. Ideally WUaS would seek students from India somehow like him.

- And last but not the least, can you clarify on what do you want from me?

What WUaS would like from you is to become a WUaS "Program Coordinator" in India re getting student applicants, and currently for this sign in form - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/ - and eventually as if students were applying to MIT or Stanford from India ... (like Anant Agarwal did) ... and then for some of these students to matriculate (become officially enrolled) as WUaS accredits with WASC senior in California (and pays accreditation fees to WASC).

WUaS seeks to offer accrediting free CC MIT university degrees online to students in India, and grow as an organization (could WUaS eventually hire 1 million people in all 8000 languages - where 700,000 of these are students working 10 hours per week in each of all countries? That's a goal). WUaS will be a second semester pro bono "client" beginning this Sunday in a UC Berkeley "New Business Practicum" course to file probably the for-profit papers.

Thanks for video conferencing, and your great project as well. 

Regards, Scott

Hi Ankit, 

Thanks again for your email, and thanks. I may inquire with Anant Agarwal, President of edX too, about further WUaS-MIT collaboration possibilities. (I've heard back positively from the MIT Media Lab about a tenure track junior faculty position I've applied for, and I'd like to begin this teaching position from the SF Bay Area on January 1, 2017, if possible). If ways open, and CC WUaS can begin to offer CC MIT OCW-centric accrediting university and high school degrees in India for free (CC) first in English and eventually in Hindi and potentially other languages in India, would you like to explore offering your Zero Cost MBA (the MIT OCW part especially) as part of WUaS in English and in Hindi, as part of this WUaS accreditation (with probably WASC senior, which accredits Stanford and Berkeley +) process? 

Regards and Namaste, Scott
