Non-theist Friends (NtFs), friendly Quakers
Greetings, Nontheist Friends (NtFs), friendly Quakers,
I hope this email finds you well.
Glad to write that NtF inspired (in part) CC-4 MIT OCW-centric wiki World University and School is growing. WUaS is newly partnering with edX, and seeking 150 undergraduates to matriculate this autumn 2021 for free-to-students' online best STEAM CC-4 OCW-centric 4-year Bachelor degrees, first in English. WUaS also has four possible PhD students (7 years to completion?) and is seeking for these to apply and matriculate at WUaS through MIT Departments themselves. In doing this, WUaS is also seeking to develop online WUaS counseling and potentially through something like MIT Medical - and for our students from all ~200 countries, many with English as a second language, and from very different cultures than in the US or Anglophone countries, for example.
On our WUaS wiki side, WUaS is seeking to build out wiki schools for open teaching and learning in all 7117 known living languages, and will blog about both of these developments today in a post with communication with edX and MIT >

MIT's departments, in what ways would it be possible for these prospective WUaS PhD students to apply directly through MIT Departments to matriculate at WUaS?
Dear Matthew, Marissa, Ned, Cameron at edX, All,
I hope this email finds you well. Just following up on our recent conversation in videography. In anticipating WUaS Monthly Business Meeting in 2 weeks, and matriculating 150 undergraduate students potentially as early as May 1, but probably September 1, 2021, I'm writing to confirm that what you said is that WUaS would have to pay edX about $101,000 to interoperate our developing platform with edX's dashboard ($50,000), and $17,000 (or $350 per student per year) for each 50 students we matriculate, and get grades for, as we proceed with probably BPPE licensing and WASC accrediting. Is this accurate? Newly, WUaS is seeking to plan for 4 possible PhD students too (taking possibly 7 years to complete their PhDs in English; 2 from India possibly, 1 from Morocco, and 1 from Indonesia).
And since WUaS doesn't yet have a relationship with MIT's departments, in what ways would it be possible for these prospective WUaS PhD students to apply directly through MIT Departments to matriculate at WUaS? This is something Larry Viehland and I and Prasanth talked about at last month's WUaS Monthly Business Meeting -
https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/01/alpine-lily.html, and also perhaps through MIT Admissions - (
https://twitter.com/MITstudents/status/1349417230623272960?s=20 ? In process, in what ways might our WUaS matriculating students get access to MIT Medical for counseling even (see below)?
One of our high achieving prospective PhD students today wrote
And in terms of interoperating WUaS's developing platform with edX's dashboard, and Houcemeddine above (in Tunisia, who helped install WUaS in Wikibase Opencura -
https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2020/12/sat-dec-19-2020-wuas-minutes-for-open.html - and in WUaS planning for students in all ~200 countries, and wiki teachers and learners in all 7,117 known living languages, and indeed, brainstorming-wise, wiki teachers and learners among all 7.8 billion people on the planet, for free universal people-to-people education), could Houcemeddine and perhaps Ned somehow work together to develop an interface between the edX dashboard, the emerging WUaS platform, partly WUaS Wikibase Opencura-centric, and in WUaS's G Suite for Education too, which WUaS has been in for years, and which also provides access to the Google Ecosystem including Translate and TensorFlow too?
I think Prasanth as a matriculating student would welcome an opportunity for counseling, given the statement above (since I think life can be really hard in India, despite it's remarkable tolerance, and diversity and many languages and cultures).
Thank you.
Sincerely, Scott
