So,
Free-to-students' CC-4 OCW Bachelor degrees ONLINE (over 4 yrs) in English literature beginning potentially in Jan 2020 in collaboration w edX! See: World Univ & Sch 13 Jan 2020 Q & A and News - https://youtu.be/ZPxeyQdCzr4

New links to 'edX Lit' & 'MIT OCW Lit' @ 'English Lit' wiki subject https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/English_Literature - @WorldUnivAndSch in https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/The_College_at_World_University_and_School - You'll sign up here https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/You_at_World_University >Licensing process with state of CA's BPPE - for FREE-to-students' 4 year ONLINE Bach's Degree in English


item 3 -
On 18 Dec 2019, WUaS spoke with edX in Cambridge MA for 45 minutes.
Per edX let's "discuss World University becoming an edX member or using edX courses with your students as a customer—all that is open territory," and our 18 Dec 2019 conversation, WUaS would like to become a member of edX and begin to offer online edX courses as soon as January 2020 if possible please. How would this work? Would WUaS send the $500 in membership monies to edX, and receive edX course site-links (which WUaS would post here - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/English_Literature - for example), with student sign-up / matriculation info and eventual access to grades, etc. - which information WUaS could then also share with the state of California's BPPE (Bureau for Private PostSecondary Education), as WUaS begins the licensing process in the state of California?

Please remember that World University and School is CC-4 MIT OpenCourseWare-centric and seeks to offer as many courses as possible from MIT OCW - all for free-to-students' Bachelor's (and Ph.D.) degrees in English, as WUaS licenses first with the state of California's BPPE for these 2 degrees. Thank you.


item 4 -
WUaS continues to seek the initial $5000 to begin licensing with CA's BPPE


item 5 -
For autumn 2020:
in what ways might World University and School best offer MIT OCW-centric courses from, or via, edX in WUaS's 6 majors - worlduniversitandschool.org - beginning now in January 2020, potentially with 500-2000 WUaS online students, in English, as WUaS begins licensing with the state of California's BPPE? WUaS students would take these courses in 'The College at WUaS' - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/The_College_at_World_University_and_School - and from related academic wiki subject pages - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Subjects. And WUaS would seek to begin our first Ph.D. class the following year - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Ph.D._Degrees_at_World_University_and_School (also with regards to BPPE licensing) - and also CC-4 MIT OCW-centric (perhaps in all ~32 departments there). So would membership with edX, and getting edX course-specific links, with student registration information, that WUaS could add to our wiki pages and course catalog be the best way to proceed?


item 6 -
WUaS will participate in a Wikidata office hour again on 22 January 2020.


item 7 -
World Univ & Sch has inquired with Alphabet's Chairman John Hennessy about collaboration with regards to information technologies' development, platform and web sites' coding:

planned online 


Law Schools -
https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Law_School

- both in ~200 countries' official / main languages, (and wiki-schools in all 7,111 known living languages) 
See: "Coconut: Dear Ed Batts (law), John Hennessy (chairman of Alphabet, former President of Stanford), Robert Harrington MD (chairman of Stanford Medicine), Roland Vogl and Hank Greely (Stanford Law Professors), and Larry Viehland (chairman at MIT OCW-centric World Univ & Sch), * Looking forward to your panel moderation, Ed - 'Is the Right Thing Really Shades of Grey? Building an Ethical Culture in Business: Why it’s Hard to Do the Right Thing on a Corporate Level' re Stanford Law's SVDX * * Culture or identity in the shaping of building an ethical culture - (am thinking Quaker, or NtF in particular, & re for ex. Stanford, Alphabet, Ikea, Silicon Valley, California as examples of culture too) * Two HBR Business Ethics' articles * * * Happy New Year (letter)! ~ to Angela & Victor (Yoga!), Lynn, Satya, Patricia and Andrew" - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/01/coconut-looking-forward-to-your-panel.html -


item 8 -
World Univ & Sch seeks to become the Harvard / MIT / Stanford / Oxbridge of the Internet, and in all ~200 countries and all 7,111 known living languages (as wiki schools) - so world class, and with regards to edX goals especially.  


item 9 -

WUaS Co wing

item A -
With regards to edX and sustainability, and the Pi digital cryptocurrency in this email thread (and Mine Pi too - https://youtu.be/MsOaC61cR3U - which cyrpto-currency is designed to be mineable by end users - eg which could be used for UBI experiments), WUaS seeks to code our platform for our incoming matriculating students - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/You_at_World_University - and plan too potentially for matriculating students in all ~200 countries in their official and main languages, and plan also for WUaS wiki Universitans as speakers of each of all 7,111 known living languages - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Languages - and as teachers and learners in these related WUaS wiki schools (and then potentially for all 7.5 billion people, brainstorming-wise, - and explore even Universal Basic Income experiments to alleviate poverty, in all ~200 countries' languages, but also to distribute a single digital currency backed somehow by some number of ~200 countries' central banks). How WUaS would code the WUaS platform for our students, and who take WUaS courses via the edX platform, may be something we could explore coding together in these regards. This may involve communicating further with Wikidata / Wikibase (ie Lydia above) too for both the WUaS wiki platform, and all 7.5 billion people a Wikidata Q-item # (or PIN# - personal identification number based in Wikidata).


So,
all 7.5 billion people a Wikidata Q-item # (or PIN# - personal identification number based in Wikidata) for ...

item B -
1) a single cryptocurrency 
facilitated by ~200 countries' central banks distributed via UBI experiments (and taught by law faculty at World University and Schools' online law schools in ~200 countries' languages, above)

2) computer glasses
- as a 3rd computer for everyone on planet, and for VR (virtual reality) & AR (augmented reality) ... and for a realistic virtual earth as STEM field sites, and classrooms at WUaS (think Google Street View with time slider, Maps, Earth, TensoreFlow, Translate with realustic avatar bots, conceptually. See:... for 5 initial reasons for planning for planning for coding for all 7.5 billion people on the planet - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/12/wild-pomegranate-burchellia-bubalina.html 


item C -
The WUaS Press plans to publish one musical album (CD), and one book of poetry, in 2020
