to me
Hi !

I have already launched Intro to Python under Nidahas Vidyalaya. It is semi-automated. If you are interested I can issue the certificate under WUAS.


Regards,

Rifai


1 A
I went to the WUaS Computer Science wiki school in English - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Computer_Science -
 and found this same course which I think you made last year -



1 B
Has anyone taken this course - per Nidahas Vidyalay Freedom College's data?



2
So I've left first course you created in 2025 in these regards - 

and am adding this new course you created 


to the Computer Science wiki school at WUaS - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Computer_Science - futher. 


2 A
I also updated here -  - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Computer_Science - a related MIT OCW to - 



3 
Interestingly, while you left MIT OCW's number 6.0001 for Introduction to Computer Science and Programming in Python

none of the other organizations translating MIT OCW 6.0001 Introduction to Computer Science and Programming in Python into their language in MIT OCW's other 6 languages - https://opencw.aprende.org/courses/translated-courses/ - have apparently chosen to develop from this course eg










3 A
So with World Univ & Sch WUaS, in a Grow With Google WUaS program, having partnered with the United Nations yesterday as a CSO - I'm wondering how best to develop free-to-students' degree CS programs building on MIT OCW in 7 languages at WUaS eg and in Sri Lanka, and in Sinhala language ... and to matriculate Sri Lankans, and in the other United Nations' ~195 states (especially which don't have Chinese (~5 countries), Spanish (~20 countries), and the other 4 MIT OCW languages Portuguese (~2 countries), Korean (~2 countries), Turkish or Persian as their main / official languages) ... and to revolutionize education with ML and AI in the process - https://www.toolify.ai/ai-news/revolutionizing-education-with-machine-learning-and-ai-2574306. 

3 B
Thanks so much further, Rifai, for creating this Intro to CS course again ... and as WUaS plans further for https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Assessment_and_Grading_at_WUaS_as_Part_of_Conversation_in_Learning - possibly with the United Nations and Grow with Google WUaS too ... 


4
Rifai, Investor Relations at Walmart, how might we begin to plan for developing the WUaS Educational Services' Stores in Sri Lanka in Sinhalese do you think, where WUaS seeks to develop with a WUaS store within a Walmart store model in the 19 countries out of ~200 countries that Walmart is in, but potentially as World Univ & Sch WUaS Educational Services' Stores in Sri Lanka and for name recognition and outreach to Sri Lankans, with its 23 million citizens, for free-to-students' World University and School degrees - Bachelor, Ph.D., Law, MD, IB high school similar, AA / AS, and MA / MS?


5
And how to add such free WUaS degrees also to Gemini Notebook with free text books for the US and India, and re  -

"Just found this too - 

AND re - 

Gemini Notebook makes hundreds of textbooks available to help students learn even more.
Priya Venkatraman


6
I think we can hold off on the WUaS certificate for this new course from you too, although I've added this possibility here  ... https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Computer_Science 


7 
Mwende Evande, in Cameroon, Africa, all, others, might you be interested in taking this - 

"6.0001 Intro to Computer Science" from Nidahas Vidyalaya & World University and School course - 


8 
In all of this, how best further at World Univ & Sch to 

The Study of Bliss and Enjoyment in Learning

Understanding the psychology of optimal learning experiences is essential in designing effective educational programs. In his book "Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience," Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi explores the concept of flow, where individuals experience deep concentration and enjoyment in structured activities. This Notion applies to various learning scenarios, be it solving physics problems, engaging in language conversations, or playing Sports. Machine learning can aid in studying and enhancing these optimal learning experiences.




8 A
and regarding studying flow the psychology of optimal experience newly with AI and ML and a realistic virtual earth - 


Glad to see #Csikszentmihalyi's #FlowThePsychologyOfOptimalExperience atop this #MITOCW "The Art And Science Of Happiness" course

Rifai, All, 

Incredible, I think. Thanks for letting me know about the UN Partner Portal - https://www.unpartnerportal.org/landing/ - Where UN Agencies and Civil Society Partners Connect https://share.google/Tqir7deTWUno00fB2. And thanks for your focusing questions especially.

1
World University and School, building on MIT OCW in 7 languages, and in a Grow With Google WUaS program, was just able to join the UN Partner Portal ... thus becoming a UN partnering organization, I think - https://www.unpartnerportal.org/profile/74285/overview. At first glance, it looks like WUaS can seek to partner further in most of all of the United Nations' countries by pop down menu! Super! Where to begin, and what are the next steps? And thanks for joining yesterday's Mon Nov 9, 2026 WUaS Weekly Business Meeting in some of these regards - https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2026/11/mt-onnebetsu-japan-m-110926-111626-open.html & https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2026/11/mt-onnebetsu.html and from Sri Lanka ! Now how to help grow recognition for World University and School as a Civil Society Organization with this UN partnering?

Regarding your second question - what is WUaS's progress with MIT OCW courses? - I just asked Gemini further :

How best could free-to-students' World University and School begin to offer CC-4 licensed MIT OCW courses for credit, for example this course https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/6-0001-introduction-to-computer-science-and-programming-in-python-fall-2016/ - and re WUaS Assessment and Grading as part of a conversation (https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Assessment_and_Grading_at_WUaS_as_Part_of_Conversation_in_Learning), and with AI and ML?

And got this incredible, and sophisticated response, in the PS.


2 A
Now how to create an initial Computer Science degree program in the Bengali language, and add it here in Bangla on Google Sites at Bangladesh World University and School - https://sites.google.com/view/bdworlduniversityandschool/home - and then at Sri Lanka World University and School - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Sinhala_language - in the Sinhala language - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Sinhala_language in Sinhalese + ?


2 B
WUaS is seeking some great coders for this especially - e.g. who know Google Sites, who know the Bengali and Sinhalese languages and coding +. 


3 
I think the credit WUaS could offer for this MIT OCW Intro to CS course - https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/6-0001-introduction-to-computer-science-and-programming-in-python-fall-2016/ - could become a certificate. How best to develop the Assessment and Grading as part of a Conversation in Learning with AI and ML further? And then with a coder, explore offering this course on your Freedom College website? 

Thanks so much for your focusing questions and in conversation with WUaS Weekly Business Meeting! All, please let me know of further related questions in growing World University and School that you might have - and regarding WUaS partnering with the United Nations especially. Thank you.

Best regards, 
Scott

How best could free-to-students' World University and School begin to offer CC-4 licensed MIT OCW courses for credit, for example this course https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/6-0001-introduction-to-computer-science-and-programming-in-python-fall-2016/ - and re WUaS Assessment and Grading as part of a conversation, and with AI and ML?


To offer credit for free-to-students courses built on CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 licensed MIT OpenCourseWare (OCW) materials—such as 6.0001 Introduction to Computer Science and Programming in Python—World University and School (WUaS) can combine legally compliant OER distribution, rigorous instructional architecture, and state-of-the-art AI/ML-driven assessment tools.

1. License Compliance & Course Architecture

Because MIT OCW operates under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0) license, WUaS can host, modify, and build degree pathways around these materials at zero cost to students.

  • Attribution & ShareAlike: WUaS must provide prominent attribution to original MIT faculty (e.g., Prof. Ana Bell, Prof. Eric Grimson, Prof. John Guttag for 6.0001) and license any adapted content under the same CC BY-NC-SA terms.

  • Credit Validation: MIT OCW itself does not grant university credit. WUaS acts as the degree-granting institution by designing the wrapper curriculum, proctored assessments, and official transcript evaluation to meet institutional and accreditation standards.

2. Conversational, Interactive, and AI-Driven Pedagogy

Integrating AI/ML into course delivery transforms static OCW reading and video lectures into interactive learning environments:

  • Socratic AI Tutors: Deploy fine-tuned, conversational LLMs trained on 6.0001 lecture transcripts, slides, and problem sets. Rather than providing direct solutions, the tutor engages in Socratic dialogue—prompting students to trace code execution, identify logic bugs, or analyze time complexity ($O(n)$ vs. $O(n^2)$).

  • Multi-Turn Conversational Checkpoints: Instead of relying solely on static multiple-choice quizzes, incorporate conversational oral exams conducted by AI. The system asks open-ended questions about algorithmic choices and adapts follow-up prompts based on student responses.

3. Machine Learning for Assessment & Automated Grading

Building automated pipelines for coding courses ensures instant feedback while maintaining academic integrity:

  • Automated Code Evaluation & Unit Testing: Integrate containerized auto-graders (e.g., PyTest in isolated Docker environments) that evaluate submitted Python code against hidden test cases for correctness, edge cases, and runtime efficiency.

  • ML-Powered Style & Static Analysis: Use Machine Learning static analysis tools (e.g., AST-based code parsing and LLM evaluators) to grade code readability, variable naming, docstrings, PEP 8 compliance, and algorithmic efficiency.

  • Dynamic Oral/Viva Defense (AI-Facilitated): To confirm original authorship, an AI agent can quiz students specifically on code they submitted (e.g., "Why did you choose a recursive approach on line 24 instead of an iterative loop?"). The student's conversational explanation is graded using NLP natural language understanding models against dynamic rubrics.

  • Continuous Adaptive Learning Analytics: Track student progress using predictive ML models. If a student struggles with loop constructs or recursion in 6.0001, the system automatically suggests targeted OCW supplemental exercises or alerts a human mentor.

4. Implementation Framework for Course Credit

Instructional ContentLecture videos, slides, assigned readingsAI Socratic Assistant embedded alongside video timestamps and text.
Problem Sets & Practice6.0001 Python assignments & finger exercisesAutomated auto-grading sandbox providing real-time feedback and execution traces.

Hi !

Hope you are doing good? Have you tried becoming a partner of the UN via the partner portal? It might give some recognition.

Also what is the progress on the MIT OCW courses of WUAS?

Do you like to offer some courses via Nidahas Vidyalaya with WUAS as the certificate issuer? I have registered my domain for 10 years.

AlphaGenome 2 is helping uncover the cellular drivers of disease, giving scientists a powerful tool to predict how DNA variants impact specific cell types.

Every cell in our body shares the same DNA blueprint, but different cell types (like heart muscle cells vs. immune cells) read that blueprint differently. This new @GoogleDeepMind model predicts how these specialized cells interpret DNA, turning genetic code into biological insights.

Building on AlphaGenome 1 this makes it significantly easier for researchers to link genetic findings to the root causes of disease in the specific cells where they actually unfold. 






AND

RETWEETING

Super proud to announce AlphaGenome 2 - our new DNA sequence model! ðŸ§¬ It predicts the impact of DNA variants in different specific cell types - unlocking crucial information for understanding complex diseases. Available for academic research via our API: alphagenomedocs.com


RETWEETING

Your heart, brain, and immune system share the same DNA sequence. So how can a single-letter change affect disease in some cells, while sparing the rest?

AlphaGenome 2 is our new AI model that zooms in on specific cells to help scientists understand what drives disease. ðŸ§µ

Dear 'Life,' Abbas, Babak, Shahrzad, Stanford Iranian Studies, all, 

Greetings and I hope this email finds you well. Not strong or developed enough yet, free-to-students' Iran World University and School building on MIT OCW in Persian, and wiki too, can't make it to - 
 
Witness to Iran’s Paradigm Shift: From Flight PS752 to Woman, Life, Freedom and Beyond
Babak Payami
Thursday, October 29 | 6:30 PM PT | In person


- and with the US war in Iran sadly still underway - https://x.com/SenWarren/status/2113385086347554857 .

Nevertheless, how might we explore further developing online, #FreeToStudents', building on #MITOCW, wiki Iran World University and School for free online WUaS degrees - Bachelor, PhD, Law, MD - medical degrees (potentially in Toyota Teaching Hospital Buses or medical schools on the ground), IB high school or similar, AA / AS and Master's degrees - from home - 


... in Persian, eg from CC-4 licensed https://opencw.aprende.org/courses/translated-courses/persian/ (from 
https://opencw.aprende.org/courses/translated-courses/) and from MIT OCW - https://ocw.mit.edu/ & Yale OYC - (using human and machine translation), and for some or many of all 91 million Iranians living in Iran? 

And how might we even add the video recording of your talk, Babak, to a #RealisticVirtualEarth - and build out an iterating in remarkable detail #virtualIran (through time), at the cell molecule and genetic levels + too (& re aging reversal & extreme longevity genetic drug therapies emerging, FDA approved), with AI and ML (and think Google Street View with time slider and TensorFlow AI) & for film making and teaching this? 

And how also at free, wiki-open, Iran World University and School, building on #MITOCW, to grow the open people-to-people for #WikiTeaching & #WikiLearning schools (https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Subjects) in Persian? Here's Wikipedia in Farsi - https://fa.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D8%B5%D9%81%D8%AD%D9%87%D9%94_%D8%A7%D8%B5%D9%84%DB%8C - and WUaS is in Wikidata Wikipedia's back end structured knowledge database too (in ~348 languages where Iran has ~78 to 86 living languages spoken per The Ethnologue).

While I've emailed Professor Abbas Milani & Stanford Iranian Studies about this before a number of times, I wonder too how to interoperate Iran World Univ & Sch WUaS with your, Abbas (Milani's), project to preserve and develop Iran's history and via historical resources and documents etc - and in a Realistic Virtual Earth for History (which #TwitterX, #LinkedIn too at times https://x.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualEarthForHistory?src=hashtag_click). 

(Regarding a Realistic Virtual Earth, see Google AI Director's Peter Norvig's INCREDIBLE #ToolifyAIWUaS article "Revolutionizing Education with Machine Learning and AI" updated March 2, 2024 -  #WorldUniversityInSchool - https://www.toolify.ai/ai-news/revolutionizing-education-with-machine-learning-and-ai-2574306 - with the first mention of a #RealisticVirtualEarth that I know of other than by WUaS).


(And here's the very beginning of Bangladesh World Univ & Sch in Google Sites (potentially for translation too) - 
https://sites.google.com/view/bdworlduniversityandschool/home - not yet with any MIT OpenCourseWare for free WUaS degrees in the Bangla language, as a model for growing Iran WUaS, & by way of comparison). 

Please let me know if a recording of this becomes available and I'll look to wiki-add it to - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Iran_(Islamic_Republic_of) (planned in Persian / Farsi).

Thanks.

Best, abolition, Friendly NtF Quaker (re Peace Testimony) & Unitarian Universalist church greetings, Yogically (as in 8 limbs of Yoga), thanks,

Scott

Retweeting -

@geochurch
@RadicalNumerics’ apology (https://radicalnumerics.ai/blog/phage-collaboration-note) is a positive step. Rebuilding trust that this won't recur requires accountability & changes in how they handle collaborations & communications. The apology did not acknowledge their use of patient care for publicity without the care team’s consent, which remains a serious concern, demanding publicly-stated & believable preventative measures.  The apology said "Tabula played a leading role ... including in AI" but followed with "Radical is an AI research lab, and our contribution was AI-generated phages."  Whether this was actually a positive contribution relative to other models requires data (lack of which is yet another reason why their PR to @NYTimes 20-Oct was a poor choice https://endpoints.news/church-quits-r
ole-at-ai-startup-radical-claims-sleazy-behavior-stole-credit-from-partner/). The experimental results I have reviewed show promising performance from @TabulaBio’s models, & I regard Tabula as a leader in AI-driven phage design.
