Holly: Christmas celebrations in Zoom video get togethers online (Janie MacLeod's thinking)


Hi friends and family, Universitians, Ann, Janie (Ma), Sandy B, All, 

So great to get your email, Sandy Brown (first cousin and son of Ted and Mary Brown) in The Dalles, Oregon, and ...  


Dear Cathy and Steve, Annie and Tim, Sandy B, Sandy M, Kate, Ed and David, Janie (Ma), Chris Michaels, Alden, All, 

So great to see and be with you all this Xmas time today! 

A World University & School Merry Christmas Eve Morning from the MacLeod and Brown families 12/24/22, Sandy B, as you get to know your new smartphone, and Alden, can you see this video?
Two further Xmas celebrations' Zoom invitations to came later today, 12/25 at 9 am ET, 6 pm PT, and tomorrow, 12/25/22 at 5pm ET, 2 am PT :) (and see below for URLs)

Just added this text to the bottom of the Youtube recording (a new kind of Christmas card) - This is a Christmas Eve Morning family celebration between Steve and Cathy Mueller (in Pendleton), Annie and Timmothy Brown-Brown (near Medical Springs / Union), in NE Oregon, and Sandy MacLeod and his partner Kate Norgang, and Janie MacLeod (in Verona, Pennsylvania near Pittsburgh), and Scott MacLeod (founder and president of MIT OCW-centric wiki World University and School) in Pittsburgh, PA 15221. Merry Christmas, and greetings from an asylum place in PA from CA. Looking forward to celebrating Xmas with you.

What role could veterinary avatar bot electronic medical records come to play speculatively eg for genetic engineering of of pets for aging reversal? And see this fascinating interview with Harvard geneticist George Church by Rhonda Patrick https://youtu.be/o4MZ-JaIvFI (and there's an 11 minute outtake of this in recent blog posts). If laboratory mice live on average 2 yrs, and scientists can create or prove a 3 year old mouse with longevity genetics, I'll be much more convinced scientifically about the possibility of living to 220 yo than my present skepticism - "Will George Church Reverse Aging?"

Dear President Rafael Reif, MIT OCW Director Curt Newton, Dr Larry Viehland (MIT alumnus in Chemistry from the late 1960s, and acting WUaS treasurer), Sri Lanka World Univ & Sch, All, 


Greetings from CC-4 OCW.MIT.EDU -centric wiki World University and School planning major online universities in each of ~200 countries and WUaS wiki schools for open teaching and learning in all 7,151 known living languages. On behalf of impoverished World Univ & Sch, Curt, I found your cjnewton@MIT.EDU email address online and have responded to your MIT OCW appeal from about 2 weeks' ago - https://us6.campaign-archive.com/?e=e549800b69&u=ad81d725159c1f322a0c54837&id=dd55f53579 > https://giving.mit.edu/give/to/ocw/receipt (which was emailed to scott@scottmacleod.com aka worldunivandsch@scottmacleod.com) - on Thursday, December 22. I'm writing to connect with all of you before you, President Reif, depart MIT as its head at the end of this week. I emailed President Reif here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2022/11/american-sweetgum-liquidambar.html - on November 30, 2022 in some of these MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch regards, but am writing to communicate with you too MIT OCW Director Curt Newton. 

Deeply impoverished myself, too, I hope the contribution I made on behalf of WUaS might be of help to also developing further WUaS-MIT collaborations beyond the CC-4 licensing of MIT OCW which WUaS has been engaging since around the year 2007. And World Univ & Sch became 1)  a 501 c 3 nonprofit in 2010, as well as  2) an exempt World Univ & Sch legal entity in California then. And WUaS became a related 3rd  3) legal entity in 2017 in California - the WUaS Corporation, a for-profit general stock company, seeking to list on the new Silicon Valley Long-term Stock Exchange potentially. 

In particular, World Univ & Sch would be interested in exploring collaboration in many ways, and regarding, for example "grouping these filtered MIT OCW courses under majors, minors, electives etc" (and see the email from Rifai at the Sri Lanka World Univ & Sch campus southeast of India below in these regards) ... and potentially in all WUaS's 200 countries (per the Olympics) as major online CC-4 MIT OCW-centric wiki WUaS Universities and in these countries main languages for free-to-students' Bachelor, PhD, Law, MD, IB high school or similar, as well as AA and Masters' degrees, newly - potentially on a developing WUaS-Google Education platform that makes studying for these degrees fun. 

How might we best further explore a conversation about this, Curt, and Rafael, Peter (Norvig), and Larry? 

Thank you, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and with best regards, 

Scott

PS 

Dear MIT President Rafael Reif, and MIT President-elect Sally Kornbluth,

Greetings from CC-4 MIT OCW-centric wiki World University and School, planned in ~200 countries as major online free-to-students' degree granting universities, in these countries' main languages, and in each of all 7,151 known living languages as wiki schools for free people-to-people open teaching and learning - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Foundation.

As World University and School proceeds with seeking to become accredited by Middle States' Commission on Higher Education (with offices in the greater Philadelphia PA area), and licensed by a related university licensing organization, I'm writing to inquire at this stage of licensing and accreditation about possible co-accrediting with MIT itself (where MIT is accredited by the New England Commission of Higher Education).

While as president of MIT OCW-centric wiki World University and School, I think that Creative Commons' 4 licensing of CC-4 MIT OpenCourseWare (which allows for 1. sharing MIT OCW, 2. adapting it, 3. but non-commercially) is what makes it possible for MIT OCW-centric World University and School to build and grow potentially to offer free-to-students' online Bachelor, PhD, Law, MD and IB high school, or similar, WUaS degrees, and that this legally is the extent of our MIT-WUaS relationship, I'm writing to inquire with you MIT President Rafael Reif and MIT President-elect Sally Kornbluth - and in this time of MIT presidential transition - about new possibilities of open co-accreditation, as well as to further grow our communication.

Would it be possible for World University and School to co-accredit with MIT?

All the best,
- Scott GK MacLeod

Hi !

Please go the courses in the link below and break them up as pathways. I am looking into the possibility of offering them via SL WUaS in Google.

Also if SL WUaS can expand to non MIT, we might be able to offer other options.
