World University and School 


Minute 1

World University and School will potentially offer edX courses to our WUaS matriculating undergraduate class this autumn for free-to-students' best STEM CC-4 OpenCourseWare Bachelor degrees.

You'll find our 6 planned CC-4 OCW Bachelor degree majors here -

http://worlduniversityandschool.org/

- which are English, History, Business, EECS, General Engineering, and General Science majors, and also in the WUaS Course Catalog -
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1VRHhXYsk-V9lvSh5onaU2hnEhwoapSN7HyBK1P09LIk/edit?usp=sharing

Besides best STEM CC-4 OpenCourseWare (in 4 languages) and edX courses in general, WUaS also seeks to offer potentially these brand-new

edX ORAP courses-
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/10huGunGcPQQpsoJicL8ZDUrBaOKxtA5ODgOPKfsYokM/edit?usp=sharing.



Also, Sri Lanka World Univ & Sch in the Sinhala language, is begun, and in Google Sites - to reach out in Sinhala to Sri Lankan students who speak English, to matriculate online at WUaS in English this autumn! ~


ශ්‍රී ලංකා ලෝක විශ්ව විද්‍යාලය සහ පාසල
(which means World University and School of Sri Lanka) ~
https://sites.google.com/view/worlduniversityandschool/srilanka

World University and School's home page itself in Google Sites ~
https://sites.google.com/view/worlduniversityandschool/


If a student matriculates for a 4 year free-to-students' best STEM CC-4 OpenCourseWare-centric Bachelor degree, she or he will potentially get a certificate upon completing each edX course.


Students would get a list of possible introductory, general education courses (in their area of interest) for the year, pick their courses, and begin to study these upon matriculating online.



Minute 1-A

Regarding
online University libraries for WUaS undergraduates -

Besides online interlibrary loan, WUaS seeks to partner with other universities for sharing library resources. And often universities with libraries can make partnerships possible if one's university has resources to share.

While World University and School's Library Resources - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Library_Resources - are small, WUaS can share the WUaS Press's actual-virtual Harbin ethnographic book (as a kind of text book even), and 3 books of poetry also published by the WUaS Press, - to partner with great universities' online libraries.



Minute 2

Growing Board & Universitian participation

WUaS continues to invite you to participate in WUaS's open Monthly Business Meeting (hour long on 3rd Saturdays, and conducted loosely in the manner of Friends / Quakers).

Minute 4

Regarding a
Realistic Virtual Earth

WUaS seeks to develop in and facilitate developing a Realistic Virtual Earth.
And here are the beginnings of World University and School in Google Street View / Maps / Earth -
 https://www.google.com/maps/place/World+University+%26+School/@37.8343827,-122.1635866,15z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0xbc76546d8b81c2e7!8m2!3d37.8343827!4d-122.1635866

Regarding a realistic virtual earth in Google Street View, please visit the Harbin Hot Springs' gate
http://tinyurl.com/p62rpcg (accessible from ~ https://twitter.com/HarbinBook ~ http://bit.ly/HarbinBook ~) and explore 'walking' down the 'road' 4 'miles' to 'amble' around Middletown, CA (since it isn't possible to enter into a realistic virtual Harbin at this time - re #RealisticVirtualHarbin - https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualHarbin?src=hashtag_click - for research and soaking).




Minute 4-A

Realistic Virtual Earth for Robotics

WUaS seeks to facilitate developing, hypothetically, the 3D virtual world of educational MineCraft (with its Lego scale) > into > Google Poly (a library of 3D objects), and potentially for patenting actual-virtual objects even, - in addition to with adding Brick Street View (where a brick refers to a Lego brick) with Google Street View, into which one can add photos and videos, and which would be integrated with Google Maps and Earth (at the cellular and atomic levels too);

WUaS seeks to facilitate developing, hypothetically a film-to-3D App for this too.




Minute 5

WUaS Home Robotics

WUaS seeks to offer "Home Robotics" courses and opportunities emerging from the idea of https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/experimental-study-group/es-293-lego-robotics-spring-2007/ - and potentially with courses offered via the edX platform, for World Univ & Sch's EECS, General Engineering, and General Science majors, esp - https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualEarthForRobotics?src=hashtag_click (and even for learning machine learning)

- and with these 3 Lego robotics' kits (to start)

Mindstorms

Spike Prime

We Do 2.0





Minute 6

Brainwave headset research at WUaS

WUaS seeks to explore facilitating brain and brainwave headset research with language, - for ease of computing - in English, and in Turkish and Turkey to begin even (with a 'swimmer's cap' for brain signal in fabric instead) ...per Armagan Amcalar - and with his using JavaScript - and in all of World Univ & Sch's planned 7,117 living languages and ~200 countries even.

Minute 7

Regarding,
Wiki (editable and thus teachable too) pages / schools at World University and School:

Brainstorming-wise,
how best and creatively to develop the WUaS wiki schools to welcome eventual matriculating students? Introduce WUaS wikis in Sri Lankan high schools - where high school students could become wiki-teachers to Youtube video even at WUaS? (ie high school students could teach something about Sri Lanka they know and love, perhaps to a Youtube video, and then post this to an existing Subject - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Subjects - or to a wiki subject they wiki-create).
https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/06/plum-headed-parakeet-bagpiping-scottish.html .



Minute 7-A
Wikidata / Wikibase and WikiMedia are beginning to develop further their InfoBoxes and Templates:

See:
'[Wikimedia-l] 3,000,000 Wikidata Infoboxes in Commons categories' email thread on Su Jun 21, 20

[1] https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Uses_of_Wikidata_Infobox

[2] https://templatecount.toolforge.org/index.php?lang=en&namespace=10&name=Infobox


InfoBoxes in WUaS's 'front end' wiki pages - e.g.  https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Subjects - could draw information automatically from WUaS Wikidata (in 300 languages) as back end. See this Wikipedia 'Nation state' article for its infobox as example - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nation_state (where WUaS seeks to create major online universities in all ~200 countries' official languages)

Templates are in use on WUaS wikis, and have been used to update licensing information, for example; see the CC-4 licensing at the bottom of this Subjects' page - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Subjects.




Minute 8

Online WUaS Universities in other countries - 

Sri Lanka WUaS in the Sinhala language is begun and in Google Sites, accessible on smartphones especially!
WUaS seeks to reach out to Sri Lankan students who speak English in Sinhala, to matriculate in English this autumn, and then to develop Sri Lanka WUaS in Sinhala!
