WUaS is thinking through how accreditation in any of ALL languages/countries would work at WUaS.
Would interested scholars express an interest, and find funding, together with WUaS, from their countries' departments of education, e.g. would someone in NZ seeking WUaS accreditation
(v-a-v WASC, which also accredits Stanford & Berkeley)
find funding from the NZ governmentt?

World Univ & Sch may eventually take to TV to let folks know about free, online, wiki University & School -
http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/,
as Google has -
"Google Takes to TV to Promote Chrome Browser" (May 4, 2011)
http://mobile.nytimes.com/article?a=784304 -
to let people know about Chrome browser / OS and 'search.'
*
And will WUaS help to make learning COOL, shifting the ways, people, adults and kids, think about learning?

Northern gannets: Pairbondage, Troopbondage, Abidance, Ycleptance & Foredoomance are 5 exigencies of being human, that John Money characterizes, Ovid
http://scottmacleod.com/anthropology/determinism.htm -
as transcultural, transhistorical and universal (Wow!) ...
I'm looking for narratives for each exigency, that peacefully & wonderfully illuminate them - perhaps kids' stories, even.
Ideas?
May add to WUaS's Children's Literature & Wisdom
{was - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Children%27s_Literature_and_Wisdom} subject ...

Ovid's 'Baucis & Philemon' - about the old couple in ancient Greece who loved each other so much, that after doing kindness to a disguised God (Hermes, I think), he granted their request to be forever entwined as trees after they died - is an example of what I mean for pairbonding, for example.
*
In a Gaelic vein, Altenberg's 'Island of Wings' about a couple on St. Kilda in Scotland (reviewed recently in the Independent) ...

Wave Hitting Rocks: New 'Marine Science' subject at WUaS, with 2 MIT OCW courses, Other Water subjects, Nuclear, Ecology, Primatology, Evolution
There's a new 'Marine Science' subject at WUaS, with 2 MIT OCW courses,
http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Marine_Science
in addition to already existing 'Oceanography'
http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Oceanography
& 'Hydrology'
http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Hydrology
subjects -
http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Subjects.
Check out the Nuclear Science & Engineering Subject, too,
http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Nuclear_Science_and_Engineering
to articulate questions you might have about oceans and Nuclear waste in the environment.
We're learning almost nothing about the 'Ecology'
http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Ecology
of Nuclear waste in oceans and water, post-Fukushima, in the news, for example.
*
added NEW resources to the
Ecology,
http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Ecology
Evolution,
http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Evolution
Evolutionary Biology,

Primatology' (a Jane Goodall retrospective:)
http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Primatology
and 'Science'
http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Science
subjects -

at WUaS.
WUaS is like MIT OCW with Wikipedia and a kind of meta-directory of great, open, highest quality, educational resources, where YOU can teach, learn, add & edit.

Merced river with El Capitan: A Taoist approach to giving further form to World Univ & Sch would be to let it do it itself, WUaS's Wiki-ness, Floating
A Taoist approach to giving further form to World Univ & Sch would be to let it do it itself -
for WUaS to find its wiki-ness
- further organizing around wiki -
(like Wikipedia which is in 281 languages - http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/List_of_Wikipedias),
so, in the information technology revolution,
to network / collaborate with a Google or MIT, for example,
where WUAS sprouts forth the ideas
and Google or MIT makes available the engineers and scaling-knowledge
(All languages :)
...Floating down the river together :)

Orca underwater: WUaS is curious how to make easy, and very fun, Teaching to video on their handheld computers, like YouTube
World University & School is curious how to make easy,
and very fun, -
for folks at great universities, especially,
and everyone, -
teaching to video on their handheld computers,
e.g. to YouTube & in other creative ways:
http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Subjects.
WUaS wants to make flourish what people are already richly doing online, anyway,
with an invitation to edit a page, musically, artistically, knowledge-wise,
in a way you create ...
*
Wiki on a 2 x 3 inch interface, on a web computer phone, on a slow connection, will be invaluable
(in conjunction with 4 x 6 inch and full size screen interfaces, for same wiki) ...
Teach while walking between classes, for example?
