The novel coronavirus COVID-19 (SARS CoV2) pandemic is creating remarkable openings for online MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ and Sch since many great universities (such as MIT, Harvard and Stanford) are closing on-the-ground, and newly developing their courses and university resources online in very significant ways - and with which WUaS seeks newly to collaborate regarding: World Univ and Sch is seeking to put a free major university, with academic teaching hospital & medical schools, with major university libraries, all museums (in VR), a major online music school with music-making potential for you - interactively on your computer screen in your home

Both Harvard and MIT are also holding their graduation ceremonies on the internet which are amazing openings for World Univ and Sch to learn from:

"Harvard postpones commencement amid coronavirus pandemic, plans online event May 28" https://www.bostonglobe.com/2020/03/20/nation/harvard-holding-online-commencement-may-28-amid-coronavirus-pandemic/

"MIT, Emerson to hold online graduation ceremonies"
https://www.bostonglobe.com/2020/03/24/metro/mit-emerson-hold-online-graduation-ceremonies/

In the 3/21/20 WUaS monthly business meeting, and in talking with Larry Viehland, the chair of the Board at World University and School and a MIT alumnus, he said 'yeah' this would happen our of MIT this spring:

Students would be studying something like MIT OCW into MITx courses, conceptually like - https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/mitx-related-courseware/ - in The College at World University and School ... https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/The_College_at_World_University_and_School - and eventually via the Socratic method (and similar) in tutorials or group video conferencing and per The Conference Method online ... https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Conference_Method_of_Teaching_and_Learning.

- and that WUaS would seek to begin licensing with CA's BPPE in mid-May, potentially.

WUaS offered basically the use of a Free 250 place choir hall to the UU choir of Palo Alto, in WUaS G Suite for Education (but WUaS still isn't able to livestream from its Google Meet to YouTube). This may be beginnings of many virtual choirs, as well as online many music schools -https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Music - for real, real time music-making (with a Google broadband road map for this too), and potentially also for real real time tele robotic surgery in WUaS's online teaching hospitals - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Hospital - and medical schools - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Medical_School - in ~200 countries' official and main languages.

World Univ and Sch's newspapers, of which this is the main one-
"The MIT OpenCourseWare Daily" (https://paper.li/WorldUnivAndSch/1474335157#/ - e.g. https://twitter.com/WorldUnivAndSch/status/1240814569058193410?s=20) - continues to post automatically and daily to WUaS's Twitter - https://twitter.com/WorldUnivAndSch - with the following licensing and endorsement clarifications, in addition to some educational 'news':

a) MIT is not affiliated with, and does not endorse, World University and School b) MIT does not offer credit to WUaS students, and c) All MIT OpenCourseWare materials are available for free

You'll find these ALSO at worlduniversityandschool.org -

"(Licensing (CA's BPPE) and Accrediting (WASC) ...

MIT OCW Creative Commons' licensing and endorsement clarifications:

a) MIT is not affiliated with, and does not endorse, World University and School b) MIT does not offer credit to WUaS students, and c) All MIT OpenCourseWare materials are available for free through http://ocw.mit.edu )"

5
World Univ and Sch continues to attend the open Stanford LAW CodeX (in Zoom) on Thursdays - e.g. https://twitter.com/CodeXStanford/status/1240303769344065537?s=20 - if you might be interested, and is seeking for CodeX to become the precursor in part to WUaS law schools - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Law_School - in each of all ~200 countries' languages.

6
WUaS for World Univ and Sch continues to email monthly financial reports for Saturday's open WUaS Monthly Business Meeting at 9am PT, hour-long (on 3rd Saturdays); please ask to join this email list at info@worlduniversityandschool.org if you'd like to receive these.

Greek students who speak English:
WUaS is first seeking ~50-100 highest achieving English-speaking Greek students this autumn for free-to-students' undergraduate Bachelor's degrees, that are MIT OCW-centric, and in English, and then to translate, and similar, MIT OCW into the Greek language for free-to-students' online Bachelor and Ph.D. degrees, and eventually develop Bachelor, Ph.D., Law, MD and high school I.B in Greek. And, again, students would be studying something like MIT OCW into MITx courses, conceptually like - https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/mitx-related-courseware/.

Coding for all 7.5 billion people on the planet at WUaS re UBI experiments:
As World University and School matriculates online students, the WUaS Corp will develop its online <> on-the-ground bookstores / computer stores / robotics' stores / hospital technologies' stores, as well as code for all 7.5 billion people on the planet (also in exploring facilitating a single digital currency distributed via Universal Basic Income or UBI experiments - see: https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/search/label/UBI - to alleviate poverty).

B
Authors are beginning to get compensated at

The Academic Press at WUaS as books sell - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/AcademicPress.html.

D
While WUaS will seek to take an socially responsible index fund approach to both the WUaS endowment, as well as pension funds, WUaS Corporation will likely not develop our own socially responsible index mutual funds in the USA (or probably in any other of the ~200 countries in the world).
