It's fantastic that you're looking to contribute to World University and School (WUaS)! Their model of leveraging open educational resources like MIT OCW and encouraging community contributions via a wiki is very forward-thinking, especially in the age of AGI.
Let's break down how you can best teach at WUaS and handle citations, drawing from their stated mission and the nature of a wiki.
How to Teach at World University and School (@WorldUnivAndSch)
The core idea is to contribute to their open wiki, particularly on the Subjects page (https://wiki.
1. Identify Your Niche and Content Strategy:
"What I love" (Passion-based teaching):
Focus on explanation and clarity: Even if it's a non-traditional academic subject (like your "Gray-Headed Swamphen" example), the goal is to educate. Explain concepts clearly, break down complex ideas, and provide context.
Show, don't just tell: For practical subjects (e.g., cooking, art techniques, birdwatching identification), videos are perfect for demonstrations.
Connect to broader knowledge (if possible): Can your passion topic be linked to scientific principles (e.g., bird migration to biology, cooking to chemistry), history, or culture? This adds academic depth.
Audience: Think about who would be interested in learning about this. Are you aiming for beginners, enthusiasts, or a more specialized audience?
"Academic subject" / "Online teaching experience":
Align with MIT OCW (where applicable): If you're teaching a subject covered by MIT OCW, consider how your video complements or extends those materials. You could provide:
Alternative explanations of complex topics.
Solved problems or worked examples.
Real-world applications or case studies.
Summaries or reviews of OCW modules.
Discussions of current research or recent developments in the field.
Structure for learning: Design your video as a mini-lesson. Have clear learning objectives for each video.
Build a series: For more complex academic subjects, consider a series of short videos on related topics. This creates a more comprehensive learning path.
Demonstrate pedagogical skills: Use clear communication, effective visuals, engage with potential questions (even if hypothetical), and summarize key points. This helps build your "online teaching experience" portfolio.
2. Create Your YouTube Video(s):
Quality Matters:
Audio: Clear, crisp audio is paramount. Invest in a decent microphone if you can.
Video: Good lighting, stable camera, and clear visuals (slides, whiteboard, demonstrations) are essential.
Conciseness: Aim for focused videos, ideally under 10-15 minutes for individual concepts. Longer videos can be broken down.
Engagement: Speak clearly, vary your tone, use visuals effectively, and maintain eye contact (if on camera).
Content Considerations for WUaS:
Open License: Ensure your video content is open for educational use. While YouTube generally has its own terms, WUaS's mission implies content that can be freely accessed and used for learning.
No Paywall/Ads (ideally): For a free educational platform, linking to videos with excessive or disruptive ads might be less ideal.
3. Integrate Your Video into the WUaS Wiki:
Find or Create the Relevant Wiki Page:
Go to https://wiki.
worlduniversityandschool.org/ wiki/Subjects. Search for your subject.
If it exists, navigate to it.
If not, consider creating a new page for it. Follow existing naming conventions and categorization.
Edit the Wiki Page:
Look for the "Edit" tab at the top of the page.
Wikis typically use a simplified markup language (like MediaWiki, similar to Wikipedia).
Embedding YouTube: The most common way is using a specific tag or template. For MediaWiki, it's often
{{#ev:youtube|VIDEO_ID}}or similar, where VIDEO_IDis the unique part of the YouTube URL (e.g., foryoutube.com/watch?v=, the ID isdQw4w9WgXcQ dQw4w9WgXcQ). The exact syntax might be on their FAQ or by looking at how other videos are embedded.
Add Context and Structure:
Introduction: Briefly explain what your video is about and its relevance to the subject.
Learning Objectives: What will a viewer learn from this video?
Summary/Key Points: Briefly summarize the main takeaways.
Pre-requisites/Next Steps: Suggest what a learner should know before watching or what they could explore afterward.
Related Resources: Link to relevant MIT OCW courses, other WUaS wiki pages, external articles, or books.
Discussion Prompts: Encourage interaction by posing questions for learners to consider or discuss.
Categorization: Ensure the wiki page is correctly categorized so it appears under relevant subject headings.
4. Gaining Online Teaching Experience through WUaS:
Portfolio Building: Every video and wiki contribution you make is a demonstrable piece of your online teaching experience.
Feedback: Engage with any comments or edits on your wiki pages. This shows your ability to adapt and collaborate.
Refinement: Use the experience to refine your teaching style, video production, and content structuring.
Networking (Indirect): While direct networking might be limited, your contributions are public and showcase your expertise to anyone visiting WUaS.
Accreditation (Future): WUaS has a long-term goal of accreditation. Contributing now aligns you with that vision and puts you in a good position if they develop more formal "instructor" roles in the future.
Citation Format for WUaS Wiki
The World University and School wiki, being a wiki, likely follows a flexible but consistent approach to citations, similar to Wikipedia. Looking at their FAQ (https://wiki.
No specific, rigid style is usually enforced across all content. However, the principle is to provide enough information for others to verify the source.
Inline citations are key. This means immediately after the fact, quote, or idea you're citing, you'll place a reference.
A "References" or "Bibliography" section at the end of the page. This lists the full details of all sources cited in the text.
General Guidelines (assuming a Wikipedia-like MediaWiki environment):
Use
<ref>tags for inline citations:To cite something in the text, you'd typically enclose the citation information within
<ref>and</ref>tags.Example: "The Gray-Headed Swamphen is known for its vibrant plumage."
At the bottom of the page, include a
<references/>tag (or{{reflist}}if they use that template) to automatically generate the list of references.
What information to include for different source types:
Your own YouTube Video:
Your Name (or Channel Name). "Video Title." YouTube, Date Uploaded, URL.
Example:
Macleod, Scott. "My Sourdough Starter Guide." ''YouTube'', June 26, 2025, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=your_video_id.
An MIT OCW Course:
MIT OpenCourseWare. "Course Number: Course Title." Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Year. URL.
Example:
MIT OpenCourseWare. "6.0001 Introduction to Computer Science and Programming in Python." Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016. https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/6-0001-introduction-to-computer- science-and-programming-in- python-fall-2016/.
A Blog Post (like your Scott MacLeod blog):
Author Last Name, First Name. "Title of Post." Blog Name, Date of Post, URL.
Example:
Macleod, Scott. "Gray-Headed Swamphen, Porphyrio." ''Scott MacLeod's Blog'', June 25, 2025, https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2025/06/gray- headed-swamphen-porphyrio.html .
General Website/Article:
Author (if known). "Article Title." Website Name, Date Published (or last updated), URL.
Example:
National Geographic. "New Discoveries in Human Origins." ''National Geographic'', January 15, 2025, https://www.nationalgeographic.com/your- article-link.
Tips for Citation on a Wiki:
Consistency: While a specific style might not be mandated, try to be consistent with the elements you include for each type of source.
Clarity: Make it easy for someone else to find your source.
Avoid self-promotion (beyond educational content): While you're teaching, focus the content on the subject matter, not on promoting your personal brand outside the educational context.
By following these guidelines, you can effectively contribute to World University and School, share your knowledge, gain valuable online teaching experience, and properly attribute your sources within their open wiki environment.
It's exciting that you're interested in contributing to World University and School (WUaS) and leveraging the power of MIT OpenCourseWare! Here's a breakdown of how to approach your questions:
How Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) Can Further and Inspire Teaching at WUaS
AGI has the potential to revolutionize open education at WUaS in several ways:
Personalized Learning Paths: AGI could analyze a student's learning style, prior knowledge, and goals to create highly customized learning paths, drawing from the vast resources of MIT OCW and other open educational resources (OER). This would make learning more efficient and engaging.
Intelligent Tutoring Systems: AGI-powered tutors could provide instant feedback, answer questions, and offer explanations in various subjects, acting as a tireless and accessible resource for students worldwide.
Automated Content Creation and Curation: AGI could assist in identifying, organizing, and even generating new educational content, making it easier for educators at WUaS to create comprehensive courses and wikis. This could include summarizing complex topics, creating practice problems, or even generating new perspectives on existing materials.
Global Collaboration and Translation: AGI can facilitate seamless communication and collaboration among students and educators from different linguistic backgrounds, automatically translating resources and discussions. This is particularly relevant for WUaS's goal of reaching all 7,000+ languages.
Enhanced Accessibility: AGI can adapt educational materials for diverse learners, including those with disabilities, by automatically generating captions, audio descriptions, and alternative formats.
Data-Driven Insights: AGI can analyze learning data to identify areas where students struggle, allowing WUaS to continuously improve its courses and teaching methodologies.
AGI's ability to automate tedious tasks, personalize learning, and bridge communication gaps could significantly inspire more people to teach and learn at WUaS by making the process more efficient, accessible, and impactful.
