BREAKTHROUGH - new edX course catalog with amazing array of courses WUaS can offer this autumn to matriculating WUaS students 

Hi Rifai, Peter and Partha!
Thanks again for your email, Rifai, which I've reposted below - and for saying you're interested in translating some of WUaS in English into the Sinhala language, and that you have some possible students who might be interested in taking WUaS edX courses in English and Sinhala (I think). Peter, would you like to explore translating similarly into German in a WUaS Google Sites' page? Rifai, I've numbered your 3 paragraphs in your email, and am replying to each below.

1
You also lead me to think that Google Sites is again new, and that this, for example, is now more readily editable - https://sites.google.com/view/worlduniversityandschool . Am interested in adding most of this http://worlduniversityandschool.org/ to this WUaS Sites' page - - https://sites.google.com/view/worlduniversityandschool - and for translation into the Sinhala language, especially (partly with machine translation). But I'm also appreciative that a single column, rather than 3 columns, would be better for smartphones. And I just saw that it's possible to take an edX course on a smartphone and tablet - https://support.edx.org/hc/en-us/articles/206914817-Can-I-access-edX-courses-on-my-smartphone-or-tablet- . 

I've also now removed the Sri Lanka World University and School website with a Grenada domain name you, Rifai, made from - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Sri_Lanka - per your request. 

(Are you both on the Wikidata email list - https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikidata - with Wikidata's ~300 languages? Here's a recent language related email thread - "[Wikidata] Language codes 'mul' and 'mis' not recognized" for example. And here's Sinhala in Wikidata - https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q13267 and the Sinhala language Wikipedia - https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q8571954 - in Wikidata.  WUaS donated ourselves to Wikidata for co-development in 2015, and received this Miraheze WUaS MediaWiki in 2017 as a consequence - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Sinhala_language but back end and front end are not yet interoperable. And Wikidata's ~300 languages along with Google Translate's ~100 languages will inform World Univ & Sch's coding for all 7,117 living languages - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Languages - even).

2
I've just updated this WUaS Google Sites' page in English - https://sites.google.com/view/worlduniversityandschool  . 
Let's work through the linkages with time. For a while not too long ago, I had this - https://sites.google.com/view/worlduniversityandschool  - at the top of worlduniversityandschool.org ... but structure and planning for all ~200 countries' universities in their languages in Google Sites will probably be connected with the A) nation states and B) languages' link on both https://sites.google.com/view/worlduniversityandschool and worlduniversityandschool.org. Looking forward to further students - and potentially from Sri Lanka, first in English, and then also in Sinhala! 

I've begun to do update this https://sites.google.com/view/worlduniversityandschool  from http://worlduniversityandschool.org/ so if you'd like to start translating to a Sri Lanka World University and School Google Sites' page on your end (anticipating machine translation on the Google Sites' platform, I think), am looking forward to seeing this.

Regarding the 

here's 
World Univ & Sch's course catalog - in WUaS's 6 majors - and with both CC-4 MIT OCW courses in our majors (leading us to offer free-to-students' degrees) and edX FROM MITx course links -


Am wondering if we should merge these lists. edX, and MIT OCW links, from one or both lists will feed into the WUaS wiki subjects' pages - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Subjects - from their respective GDocs. 

The WUaS GDocs form for enrollment wasn't working well, and WUaS has removed it from worlduniversityandschool.org

Names of people who signed up were put into a GDocs spreadsheet. And that is the plan going ahead. In building out this new "form for enrollment for Autumn 2020" WUaS needs to make a new one. Could you help with that Rifai, please? Please plan for people in ~200 countries, speakers of 7, 117 known living languages, and all 7.5 billion people per You at WUaS - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/You_at_World_University . WUaS seeks to link it to worlduniversityandschool.org and https://sites.google.com/view/worlduniversityandschool (and possibly the WUaS Google Sites' page you translate into Sinhala too).

Please remember that in WUaS seeking reimbursement from nation states and possibly their states and 'counties,' WUaS is seeking to matriculate students for 4 year Bachelor degrees, taking something like CC-4 MIT OCW courses, and eventually 'pegging' our WUaS reimbursement per student per year on what tuition is at MIT itself (approximately $55,000 per year at present). So the GDocs' form for matriculating WUaS students you might create, Rifai, will be central to WUaS relating to countries' governments for reimbursement.  Each matricualting WUaS student will likely get a Wikidata PIN # per - You at WUaS - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/You_at_World_University - and their will be 7.5 billion of these Wikidata PIN #s! Partha? 

Peter, do you want to begin to translate some of this into German, Partha, would your parents be available to translate into Bengali? Rifai - do you know someone to translate into the Tamil language?

I've just updated this WUaS Google Sites' homepage https://sites.google.com/view/worlduniversityandschool  !

Looking forward to seeing your Sri Lanka World Univ & Sch page in Sinhala in WaS Google Sites! (I'll be exploring reading it with a Google Translate extension in my Chrome browser). Thank you, Rifai!

Regards, 
Scott



PS Templates are in the works in Wikidata too - and where machine learning and AI will inform InfoBoxes in Wikidata and in the WUaS wiki n ~300 languages! 


Hi !

1

I was thinking that you were planning to move away from Google Sites. If that is not the case we can keep freeuniversity.rf.gd parked for the time being, i will remove all references to WUaS, you can remove all links to freeuniversity.rf.gd 


2

I will focus on developing SL WUaS on Google Sites. Share with me the link for the latest one for English. I will translate to Sinhala launching SL WUaS on Google Sites. I might be able to provide some courses in Sinhala soon. This way we can use our existing domains to link to the Google Sites.


3

I will also share with you a catalog of edX courses to add into Subjects. Yes ! I have been using GDocs you can share the form for enrollment for Autumn 2020. I will start getting some students. You need to tell me the process from enrollment to certificate to inform the students and issue a document authorising Freedom College.



Regards,

Rifai, 
Freedom College, 
Sri Lanka
