Hi Hanna,
Very nice to meet you, and thanks for reaching out.

To some extent, I'd like to add this course - http://

- initially. I'd add a syllabus in PDF soon too. But I didn't find this entirely easy yesterday. Suggestions?
Thank you,
Scott

Hi Scott!
I would recommend that you select to add a new course (and keep the demonstration course for yourself):
My pleasure.
I would recommend that you select to add a new course (and keep the demonstration course for yourself):
From your home page of MOOCit Studio, select to add 'New Course' - you will need to request permission first and then I can grant it to you.
To speed things up I just created a new blank course for you :) You can find it here: https://studio.app.
In the future, once you have access you will be able to create as many new courses as you want. (Just be sure to use the same organisation name 'WUAS'.

In the future, once you have access you will be able to create as many new courses as you want. (Just be sure to use the same organisation name 'WUAS'.
Next, you should start to add your course outline - this is divided into Sections, Subsections and Units (each Unit represents a page in your course). Tutorial here.
Next, add course components on each unit page....
To add a text component, select and then Text.
To add a video select the video component. You will see an Open edX video here by default.
Then 'edit', and replace the Default Video URL with the URL of your video.
Then 'edit', and replace the Default Video URL with the URL of your video.
Now, to add your Course Syllabus is a little bit more technical 
First add your Syllabus to your Course Files & Uploads
Keep this window open.
In a new window, in the header menu select 'Content' > 'Updates'
Select to 'Edit' Course Handouts
In the editor that opens, we're going to use HTML formatting to add a link to your syllabus file.
Copy and paste this HTML code into the editor:
<p><a href="/static/Syllabus_Fall2017.pdf" target="_blank">Syllabus</a></ p>
Now, back on the Files & Uploads page, select to copy your Studio URL
Back in the editor, replace the part of the code that reads /static/Syllabus_
Finally select to save. You should see your Syllabus handout now:
If you go back to the course outline page and select 'View Live', in the LMS (Learner View) you will see your Syllabus.
Hope these instructions are clear enough.
We have a lot of tutorials in our DOCS here: https://docs.moocit.fr/
We have a lot of tutorials in our DOCS here: https://docs.moocit.fr/
And of course, there is the standard Open edX documentation: https://edx.
It's something that we're quickly working on to help new users get up and running quickly :) Let me know if you have any suggestions, or if you need any more help.
Kind regards,
Hanna

Hi Hanna,
This is great, thank you so much! Alternatively, I may seek to add MIT OCW's Circuits and Electronics (taught by edX CEO Anant Agarwal, and MIT Professor of EECSl) for the single course starter kit which World Univ & Sch is developing:
Thank you
Kind regards,

That’s a lot of material! But it looks like a great way to get started using the platform as you already have all of the course materials / outline developed.
It will take some time to organise and set-up everything in Studio, but I’m sure you will be up and running in no time!
Everyone has their own method, but I would still recommend to start with building the course structure (Sections, Subsections, Units) then adding components (video/text/questions), and adding the course materials into your files & uploads section so they are ready to use.
Once you have the course created with all of the text and materials imported you can configure the grading, certificates, badges, and start inviting learners.
One thing worth looking into, is the grading configuration (YouTube Tutorial here: https://www.youtube.com/
MOOCit Studio: Configure Course Grading in Open edX
I would recommend to take a look at this before designing your course outline, and be thoughtful about how you organise your quizzes / graded assignments / and exams into different Subsections.
As the course grading configuration is done at Sub-Section level (not unit level) You wouldn’t want to put a quiz and a final exam in the same subsection. This will make more sense once you watch the tutorial. :)
Let me know if you get stuck on anything!

Thanks so much, Hanna,
In talking with MOOCit CEO Yvain on Wednesday, July 22, in Paris (from the SF Bay Area), he talked about 'migrating' CC-4 MIT OCW courses onto the Open edX platform via MOOCit France. WUaS is seeking to adapt them per the CC-4 MIT OCW licensing terms, and creating a lot of jobs in the process over time.
This MIT OCW's Circuits and Electronics (taught by edX CEO Anant Agarwal, and MIT Professor of EECSl) for the single course starter kit which World Univ & Sch is developing
- is an experiment and exploration for World University and School, which is like CC-4 MIT OCW (currently in 4 languages) with Wikipedia (currently in 300 languages). WUaS will seek to ask for Anant Agarwal's guidance, since as Professor this course, and CEO of edX, he's given some thought into how such a MIT OCW would work in Open edX (and having actually developed edX itself as CEO). WUaS is seeking to create 7-8 week long MIT OCW courses for students this autumn, with 30-60 minutes of home-studying per week, so Anant may have excellent thoughts about dividing this 15-16 week long course in two, too. And his approach to grading would inform some of your suggestions too.
I would like to send out this WUaS Open edX course, and perhaps a few sections and some MIT OCW URLs, as an example, with the upcoming World University and School Monthly Business Meeting minutes (from 7/18/20 - 3rd Saturdays; here are June's https://
Thank you, Scott

Hi Hanna, - so great, thank you!
I've created the basics of "Circuits and Electronics Introduction," a new first WUaS course on Open edX from MIT OCW via MOOCit France - https://app.moocit.fr/
Am curious if a graduate school instructor (from MIT?) could halve this course, and teach this new INTRODUCTORY course (is the course's intention) also with a MicroBit card and similar for 'WUaS Home Circuits and Electronics" - all before September 1, 2020. And so I also began, FYI, by searching, finding - https://hackaday.com/2017/09/
I think WUaS is seeking about 6 MIT graduate students for the 6 WUaS undergraduate majors, to teach: EECS, GenSci, GenEng, English, History, Business - worlduniversityandschool.org - this autumn who have taken courses with Prof. Agarwal, MIT Prof. Wyn Kelley (whom I'm newly in communication with regarding Intro to Fiction - https://scott-macleod.
Will reach out to Anant for guidance here, as well as possible EE graduate student instructor (to even help with setting the course up re the video you sent; grading YouTube Tutorial here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?
As new questions emerge, I'll ask away. Glad to be underway, and thank you.
Thank you, Scott

Thanks, Sri, Rifai, Partha, Marisol, Peter, All,
The first course (beginnings) of the "WUAS 002 Circuits and Electronics Introduction" from MIT OCW into WUaS Open edX on the Open edX platform via MOOCit France is here -
Can we all pitch in and give Rifai a hand (or mind?:) please with translations of WUaS on Google Sites into our native languages eg https://sites.google.com/
Regards,
Scott
PS
Another big focus of World Univ & Sch is a GREAT Universal Translator for all 7,117 known living languages -
and even a translator for all 8,515 entries in languages per Glottolog - https://glottolog.org/
