Wikipedia & MIT Open Learning: A New Strategic Collaboration
An Open Conversation



Dear Yvonne and Curt, 

Greetings from the greater SF Bay Area. I just registered on Sat Sep 12, 2026 for this Wikipedia & MIT Open Learning: A New Strategic Collaboration" and think I may be in Cambridge for it, since I'm likely participating in this Harvard "Aging Research and Drug Discovery" event, hosted in part by MIT and Harvard professor of genetics' George Church - https://x.com/geochurch/status/2084958479148523537?s=20 - from Oct 1 - Oct 3 (and possibly another Harvard aging reversal and longevity conference from Oct 4-5 ). World University and School is seeking to develop a #RealisticVirtualEarth for genetics, aging reversal and extreme longevity). 

Here's the question I asked as I registered: 
Having just attended the first MITAS MIT alumni startups' NorCal Co-working session in SF (& see: https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2026/09/godwits-mit-alumni-startups-norcal-co.html), & with free-to-students' World University & School, like MIT OCW in 7 languages with Wikipedia in 348 languages, how might we explore collaborating? 

Best regards, 
Scott

Dear Scott GK MacLeod,
 
You are invited to
Wikipedia & MIT Open Learning: A New Strategic Collaboration
An Open Conversation
with Andrew Lih, Peter B. Kaufman, and Curt Newton

Tuesday, October 6, 2026
5:30PM - 6:30PM EDT
Question and answer session to follow.
 
RSVP and submit your questions here

Join MIT Open Learning’s Curt Newton, Peter B. Kaufman, and Wikimedian Andrew Lih for a conversation about this new collaboration with Wikipedia on trustworthy publicly available knowledge.

Andrew Lih brings deep expertise in open knowledge and cultural heritage collaborations. Serving as Wikimedian at Large for the Smithsonian Institution, he helped spearhead the Smithsonian’s landmark 2020 Open Access initiative, which released millions of digital assets from its museums, libraries, archives, and zoo for public use. His previous work includes serving as Wikimedia Strategist at The Metropolitan Museum of Art and leading projects with the U.S. National Archives that expanded access to archival content through Wikimedia platforms.

Together, Lih, Newton, and Kaufman will discuss the opportunities and challenges of leveraging open educational resources to enrich Wikipedia, the importance of institutional partnerships in advancing public knowledge, and the broader role of openness in preserving and sharing cultural and educational resources for future generations.

About the speakers

Andrew Lih is a digital media strategist, author of The Wikipedia Revolution: How a bunch of nobodies created the world’s greatest encyclopedia and a noted expert in online collaboration, digital news innovation and linked open data. He was the recipient of the U.S. National Archives Citizen Archivist of the Year award and a Knight Foundation grant for his work with Wikipedia and cultural institutions. He was the inaugural Wiki Education Foundation research fellow in 2015.

He has been associate professor of journalism at the University of Southern California, American University and Hong Kong University, and started the new media program at the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism in 1995. His multimedia reporting of China and the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics has appeared in the Wall Street Journal newspaper and website.

A veteran of AT&T Bell Laboratories, he was the founder of one of the first web startups, the online New York City guide – NY.com. He has been a speaker at South by Southwest (SXSW), the Online News Association, TEDx and Wikimania and his work and commentary has appeared in outlets such as The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Quartz and The Washington Post.

Peter B. Kaufman is Associate Director of Development at MIT Open Learning. Educated at Cornell and Columbia, he is the author of The New Enlightenment and the Fight to Free Knowledge (Seven Stories Press, 2021) and The Moving Image: A User’s Manual (The MIT Press, 2025). An educator, publisher, and documentary film producer, he has served as Associate Director of Columbia University’s Center for Teaching and Learning; co-chair of the JISC Film & Sound Think Tank; co-chair of the Copyright Committee of the Association of Moving Image Archivists; a member of the Scholar Advisory Committee of WGBH’s American Archive of Public Broadcasting; a member of the American Council of Learned Societies Commission on Cyberinfrastructure in the Humanities and Social Sciences; and a long-time consultant to the Library of Congress’s Packard Campus for Audiovisual Conservation. He has been working with major philanthropic foundations around the world for more than 30 years.

Curt Newton leads MIT OpenCourseWare, part of MIT Open Learning, in supporting millions of global learners and educators every year with freely shared materials from over 2,500 MIT courses. Newton joined OpenCourseWare in 2004, shortly after its launch, captivated by the promise of open education, and worked as a Publication Manager and Site Curator prior to becoming Director in 2018.

Newton is also a recognized leader in building more effective and equitable climate action through open knowledge practices and resources, at MIT and around the world, through a wide range of professional and civic engagements.

We hope you'll join us!
Best regards,
Yvonne

to me

Greetings sir,

I hope this email finds you well. 

I am writing to inquire about taking a Master's degree in Cybersecurity. I have a Bachelor's degree in Health Science from the University of the People and took courses in Java, Python, Statistics and Algebra. 

I will like to hear from you at your earliest convenience.

Best regards,
Mwende Evande.

Hi Mwende, 


Nice to hear from you and glad you completed a certificate with World University and School in the Scratch programming language with CC-4 licensed CS First with Google course some years ago. Are you still in Cameroon, West Africa? 

World University and School, building on MIT OCW in 7 languages, isn't accredited yet, as you may have been reading. 

As you may have been reading, WUaS is seeking to work with abstract-technology.de in Berlin Germany to add CC-4 MIT OCW courses to the Open edX Europe platform and create an accredited World Univ & Sch with degree programs in the process.  

Abstract-technology.de has helped to create the German University of Digital Science on the Open edX Europe platform and which is accredited by a German accreditation agency, and they offer a degree in cybersecurity, and Jaimin Pavashiya above helped to create German University of Digital Science. : 



From Wikipedia - 

UDS offers online: 

  • 2-year Master of Science (M.Sc) study programs in
    • Applied AI[13]
    • Cybersecurity[14]
    • Advanced Digital Reality[15]
    • Digital Leadership[16]



Explore contacting the German University of Digital Science?  I hope this helps. 

Best wishes, 
Scott

Hi Mwende, 


1
I have no idea what kind of scholarships UDS may offer (but they could conceivably have a relationship with the German government in these regards), and World Univ & Sch has no relationship whatsoever with German University of Digital Science (and I also got a bounceback from Jaimin's email, and I don't think he has a relationship with them either now ... both are German education-oriented businesses ...) ... It's worth contacting - https://german-uds.de/ - I think via their page or email - office@german-uds.de - and to inquire if they have scholarships for example. 


1 A
If UDS is building out of the Open edX Europe platform, and you get a Master's degree in cybersecurity with them, might you consider studying for a PhD further out of World University and School in English build in the Open edX Europe platform too (eg with abstract-technology.de adding CC-4 licensed MIT OCW courses and PhD programs too to the Open edX Europe platform and cresting WUaS universities, upon which WUaS would then accredit ... and possibly also Cameroon World University and School too - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Cameroon)?

Also, here's a blog post of mine with your WUaS Certificate of Completion in taking the CC-4 licensed  CS First with Google Scratch programming course (which has now been turned down) -
