edX-WUaS partnership developments 

A WUaS edX registration / application link like - https://courses.edx.org/register ?

WUaS has inquired with edX about WUaS edX student registration link - something like - https://courses.edx.org/register - for both Ph.D. and Bachelor degree programs, for students beginning as soon as May 1, 2021.


WUaS just submitted on March 16, 2021 this ISSIP Award application  - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/03/tongass-national-forest-noteworthy.html - which is an organization backed by IBM, Cisco, Hewlett Packard, and many smaller organizations (and which was founded in part by Jim Spohrer, a MIT alumnus in physics from the early 1970s).

WUaS is interested in sending out such a WUaS edX student registration link with the WUaS Minutes after the open hour-long WUaS Monthly Business Meeting on Saturday, 3/20/21. Thank you!

Noteworthy innovations at WUaS 2020 in an ISSIP Awards' application - 

https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/03/tongass-national-forest-noteworthy.html


New Innovations at World University and School: 

In 2020, WUaS innovations included 


beginning to: partner with edX; 

coding for anyone, with each getting a Wikidata Q-item (or similar) number; 

a new WUaS Opencura WBstack Wikibase platform; 

creating 1 Realistic Virtual Earth (think Google Street View with time slider) for use as field sites/classrooms, and everything, including a realistic virtual earth for genetics for aging reversal drug therapies; 

WUaS is planning tele-robotic surgery, and in a realistic virtual earth for surgery at cellular and atomic levels too; 

#WUaSHomeRobotics developing courses for each of 3 physical WUaS Lego Robotics' kits for #ActualVirtual #PhysicalVirtual robotics with the #Scratch3 programming languages with #GoogleTranslate & its100 languages in a #RealisticVirtualEarthForLego & #RealisticVirtualEarthForRobotics & re https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/experimental-study-group/es-293-lego-robotics-spring-2007/

using a crypto-currency; 

and, experimenting with Universal Basic Income to alleviate poverty, and connected with free universal Wiki education; 

reimbursement from ~200 nation states' counties for CC-4 MIT OCW-centric degrees; 

Sri Lanka WUaS in Google Sites for smartphone in the Sinhala Language https://sites.google.com/view/worlduniversityandschool/srilanka and WUaS in English in Google Sites https://sites.google.com/view/worlduniversityandschool/

credit for individual classes along the way to Bach and PhD degrees; 

print with machine translation to new language from a single book's page URL in the WUaS bookstore; 

WUaS’s 3 legal entities – a 

1) federal 501 c 3, and 

2) a non-profit in CA, and 

3) for profit general stock company in California 

- are developing; the WUaS Corporation first filed its tax returns for 2017, 2018, 2019 in CA.


ISSIP funding-wise ? - to be seen ...



3
WUaS is seeking to grow our undergraduate education for free-to-students' online CC-4 OCW best STEAM-centric Bachelor degrees as liberal arts (which MIT is, and as is Reed College) - so, as a form of classical education - including reading the Greeks + but as a 'WUaS classical education' and even somehow also Reed College Virtual Oregon informed. This would include an online Humanities 101 course which all 1st year students would take, partly to build community, but also so many academic skills. See this Tweet for further related thinking: 


4
In what ways could WUaS offer online courses in edX as preparation for matriculating Bachelor and PhD students on September 1, 2021, beginning in May 2021? 

These might include:
English as a Second Language beginning May 1 2021?
Robotics with programming with Scratch programming language ? 



5
Glad World Univ & Sch received an invitation to "Getting Started with Google Workspace webinar" and is registered for this Google workspace meeting for WUaS on March 23, since WUaS has been in G Suite for Education since around 2015, and hasn't had the opportunity to engage this in a 'structured' way much further since.

Genetics in a single realistic virtual earth beginning with Light Sheet Microscopy - and even eventually for bioengineering hybrid organisms like the axolotl-bird hybrid below? 

Gaming for learning too? 
See: 
Zebrafish: CalTech Hindsight 2020 - Thanks for your great "Jan Huisken, Morgridge Institute for Research" presentation yesterday - "Hindsight 2020 - The Allen Institute Developmental Recording Virtual Series" * In what ways could one send this data through to a single realistic virtual earth for species https://twitter.com/TheOpenBand/status/1367587550274015232?s=19 (think Google Street View with time slider at cell and molecular levels too)? How best to build this for light sheet microscopy as well?" * "A computer-guided design tool to increase the efficiency of cellular conversions" Sascha Jung, Evan Appleton, Muhammad Ali, George M. Church & Antonio del Sol Nature Communications volume 12, Article number: 1659 (2021)


Thrilled to announce the first successful hybridization between a bird and an axolotl.



7
Realistic Virtual Earth for classrooms and STEM field sites? 

Build on this digital twin research for classrooms too - but plan for this into Google Street View with Time Slider with realistic avatar bots, and even with brainwave headsets too?

[PDF] Classroom Digital Twins with Instrumentation-Free Gaze Tracking
K Ahuja, D Shah, S Pareddy, F Xhakaj, A Ogan… - 2021
Classroom sensing is an important and active area of research with great potential to
improve instruction. Complementing professional observers–the current best practice–
automated pedagogical professional development systems can attend every class …

8
WUaS wikis and homeschooling idea, and other related wiki planning at WUaS, including ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy and actual-virtual Harbin research.  

See - 
Headwaters Forest Reserve ...
Great to hear about what you're learning about 'homeschooling,' and perhaps with parents becoming teachers themselves (and re guidance for this esp.) - and please add any great links (that you've thus vetted for quality, or are otherwise accredited somehow for quality too) here, for ex. to wiki/Courses#Kids'_free_learning_materials ~ These wiki pages will grow, and anyone can create new ones (in any language eventually), and will become interoperable with WUaS's "back end" in Wikidata (eg MIT OCW in Wikidata - https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:EntityPage/Q1637597 or edX in Wikidata - https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q2106448). Will be interesting as WUaS's wikis grow how to best link all the best open free resources out there (re Charter schools, homeschooling online, etc.) ~



9
Wiki WUaS and its You at World University wiki
(planning brainstorming-wise for all 7.8 billion people on planet in all 200 countries and in all 7117 known living languages, as wiki teachers and learners especially, and conceptually)

People are signing up as individuals - and in different languages

In what ways could they sign in using even 'Stanford Mine Pi"-like credentials - such as passport information in the USA, and similar in other countries? 



10
WUaS recently filed the IRS's 2020 990N federal tax card digitally.





WUaS Corporation / WUaS Press 
Bookstores / computer stores / robotics' stores / hospital technologies' stores 
in all 200 countries and in their official and main languages, and in all 7,117 known living languages in the Academic Press at WUaS and for machine translation - 


A
A realistic virtual earth for species - and combined with WUaS Gaming such as Pokemon Go which is organized around Google Street View? 

See (and above):

B
Philippine cryptocurrency collaborations?

MIT Digital Currency Initiative Director Neha Narula Tweeted yesterday 3/18/21 about #SRK SparkPoint cryptocurrency in the Philippines -

https://twitter.com/neha

https://twitter.com/search?q=%23SRK&src=hashtag_click

https://twitter.com/sparkpointio?lang=en

https://sparkpoint.io


In what ways could #SRK in the Tagalog language in the Philippines collaborate even with Stanford Mine Pi - and regarding a possible world currency backed by their central banks in most of 200 countries? 



C
Prospective WUaS PhD graduate students are continuing daily to earn free money (as am I) with Stanford Mine Pi ... interested? 

For your free cryptocurrency, which is mineable daily, you can begin to get free money daily with the Stanford Mine Pi cryptocurrency now. Use this code -  sgkmac - minepi.com/sgkmac
- and, on your smartphone, and which could become the basis for single crypto-currency in all ~200 countries.

See, especially - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/02/blackcurrant-ribes-nigrum-quaker-george.html





Thank you!
