World University and School 

1
World Univ & Sch is seeking to begin matriculating undergraduate students by Sept 1, 2020, which some of you have expressed interest in (or for prospective students you may know of). Please register by August 18, and by sending me an email. 

World Univ & Sch is seeking to offer online on the WUaS Open edX platform free-to-students' 4-year best STEM CC-4 OCW Bachelor degrees (licensing and accrediting) beginning around Sept 1, 2020 in ENGLISH. 

Please let me know too if you have further questions or thoughts in these regards. 

Regards, Scott

Conference method, or seminar, anew - and like musical jamming even? 

In just under one hour - 
Beth Porter, CEO of Riff Analytics, will describe how #Riff provides course-wide and small group interactions to anyone using #edX or Open edX, during the next Open edX Online Meetup event. Join this presentation, next Thursday, 8/13 at 1 PM (EDT): https://openedx.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/COMM/pages/1680049837/August+13+2020+community+meetup



It's in the Open edX community meeting where I first met MOOCit France's CEO Yvain Demollière, after which we video-conferenced for 45 minutes (Paris-SF Bay Area), and it's because of this Open edX talk by Yvain, MOOCit France's winning the Instructional Design Prize (at Open edX), and MOOCit France being on the service partner list (1 of 52 service providers last time I checked) - https://open.edx.org/marketplace-category/service-partners/ - that WUaS is exploring their 1-course MOOCit France startup kit. Since WUaS doesn't have the expertise to develop further "WUAS 002 Circuits and Electronics Introduction" - but a EECS graduate student edX CEO & MIT Prof of EECS Anant Agarwal probably would (and likewise an English graduate student of MIT Prof. Wyn Kelley probably does too); WUaS is seeking to migrate a few more best STEM CC-4 OCW courses to the emerging WUaS Open edX platform - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/ - regarding our WUaS initial majors of EECS, General Science, General Engineering, English, History and Business, - by 9/1/20. 

And, again, WUaS is seeking to get these ~ 6 initial courses from CC-4 MIT OCW into the emerging WUaS Open edX platform, cut in half to 7-8 weeks long, and working by around September 1, 2020, for up to 50 students (potentially per MOOCit France's pricing structure). Am hoping (MIT?) graduate students can further help with this and all in the next 3 weeks - and to make them 'rocking'! "Riffing" as in university seminars and musical jamming metaphorically will be part of this - and regarding, too, the Conference Method of Teaching and Learning - .https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Conference_Method_of_Teaching_and_Learning.

Sri Lanka World University and School will postpone enrollments to the next intake as the WUaS Open edX platform is just becoming ready, and the National High School Exams have been postponed due to Covid-19.

Musical earpiece and software for harmonizing

WUaS would love to design and produce an earpiece and software for harmonizing which could 'hear' the song being played / sung, and like a strong lead singer in a church choir, create the harmony in your ear, which you could then sing with for learning https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Singing_Harmony…
