World Univ & Sch is planning to offer home robotics' courses beginning in autumn 2019 with our 2nd matriculating undergraduate class, now accrediting ... https://twitter.com/CaBPPE/status/1024666814989488134 ... https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Robotics ... and toward online undergraduate engineering degrees - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Engineering. To this end, WUaS is amazed to see, in a Scratch drag and drop programming language webinar this morning, that Scratch 3.0 is planning for A) TRANSLATION, and working with B) Lego Mindstorms EV3 and C) Lego WeDo 2.0 ROBOTICS beginning in January ...

Wow - Translate, Lego Mindstorms EV3, WeDo 2.0 extensions will be part of Scratch 3 releasing on January 2, 2019 #Scratch3Webinar #RealisticVirtualEarthForLego - #RealisticVirtualEarthForRobotics - #RealisticVirtualEarth https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Subjects /Programming /Languages /Robotics

Re Home Robotics' World Univ & Sch is seeking to develop too a Realistic Virtual Earth for  #PhysicalDigital #ActualVirtual Lego - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2018/10/south-american-coati-visit-harbin-gate.html - in something like Brick Street View in Google Street View with TIME SLIDER / Earth +


In a related vein, while not a book as information technology, a realistic virtual earth could become a radically new form of publishing offering much potential for scholarship in very new and excellent ways - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2018/11/pacific-yew-world-univ-and-sch-medicine.html

And World Univ & Sch is seeking to facilitate a realistic virtual earth for ALL libraries ever - conceptually think Google Street View with TIME SLIDER / Maps / Earth / Translate / TensorFlow + -  where we can all add libraries to this. For example, take a video of a physical archive - say an aisle of books in a library - convert this digitally from video to 3D interactivity (program not written yet), and add links to any given book or newspaper to the actual readable printed content. You can see some pictures of how this might work here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2016/10/cetonia-aurata-how-many-further-ways-we.html - and here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2016/12/san-gabriel-wilderness-libraries-in-all.html and https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2015/11/lions-in-trees-all-libraries-all.html and https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2015/11/lilies-in-garlands-can-world-university.html (and a realistic virtual earth for all museums ever as well).

3
See World Univ & Sch's Course Catalog here re the 'General Engineering' major - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1VRHhXYsk-V9lvSh5onaU2hnEhwoapSN7HyBK1P09LIk/edit?usp=sharing (accessible from - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/) - and which is currently listing 6 majors, but which may expand into the ~32 departments / majors of MIT OCW eventually - and in all ~200 countries' official and main languages.


4
World Univ & Sch may be heading toward getting a coding team in collaboration with the Stanford Graduate School of Education for WUaS - in order to develop

A) a plan and platform for improving this - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/ - with machine learning on the university side in multiple languages and with machine translation ...

B) the Academic Press / Bookstore at WUaS - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/AcademicPress.html - with machine learning and voice with machine translation with these two books re the WUaS bookstore - http://www.scottmacleod.com/ActualVirtualHarbinBook.html - http://www.scottmacleod.com/HaikuishPoetryBook.html - as examples.


5
World University and School is planning Bachelor, Ph.D., Law, M.D. and I.B. degrees, as major online CC-4 MIT OCW-centric universities and high schools in all ~200 countries' official and main languages, and is a remarkable opportunity for students in these regards - and CC-4 MIT OCW is in 5 languages to begin. California, Californians and Students from all ~200 countries in the world would get MIT for free (in a sense - since WUaS would seek reimbursement from all ~200 countries' Ministries of Education per student per year) - an amazing opportunity.

WUaS is currently waiting to begin accreditation with the CA BPPE - https://twitter.com/CaBPPE/status/1024666814989488134 (and then WASC senior). And World Univ & Sch is a A) non-profit, and incorporated as a forked parallel second legal entity, the WUaS Press / Corp, a B) for-profit general stock company, in 2017, two further great opportunities - both planned in all ~200 countries and in all 7,097 living languages with machine learning and machine translation.

Seeking to grow World Univ & Sch into a Stanford & a MIT in each of all ~200 countries' main/official languages - w combined numbers of faculty & staff -& wiki schools in all 7097 living langs growing from Wikipedia's staffing growth in ~300 languages - 2.2 million Universitians?

All the best, Scott

Dear Jonathan, Paul and All, 

Thanks for meeting on Wednesday at French Baguette in Millbrae for an interview for an hour, Jonathan. Am including my MIT Media Lab faculty application from last December 2017, and a recent CV for you, Paul (https://www.linkedin.com/in/drpaulkim/), especially (in that I'm seeking a Stanford faculty position), and since you're assistant Dean in the Stanford Graduate School of Education. I've already shared this with President Emeritus of Stanford, John Hennessy, another Dean, Larry Lagerstrom, a Provost, Paul Marca, and Stanford Peace Innovation Institute's Mark Nelson, among others.

With regard to the WUaS web platform development questions In Google Sites on Wednesday, I've now successfully created 4 web pages, but the 3 new ones aren't working publicly yet. I'm writing to ask for some help in figuring out how to make these, and this whole system and platform, work please.

This World Univ & Sch Home page is working in Sites: 
A) 
501 c 3 non-profit World University and School wing - 

but these new WUaS Corp pages aren't: 
B)
for-profit general stock company WUaS Press / Corp - 



The latter three are all on the B) WUaS Press / Corp for-profit general stock company wing, and I could make these two books available in PDF format for sale immediately, if I get the payment system working (planned from all ~200 countries). And these web pages on the B) WUaS Co wing should eventually feed into a publicly traded stock price, after this wing goes public with an IPO.

Please remember that both A) and B) are separate legal entities in the state of California, and it's important for them to remain separate platform-wise I think (so the above new Press and Books' web pages could be considered mockups).

And WUaS already has Intuit Quickbooks for non-profits in the cloud - which correlates to non-profit A) ... but can't work with for-profit B.

My hunch is that the latter 3 web pages are not working publicly because the TXT verification with host Gate.com hasn't worked yet for days, but the CNAME verification did work starting a few days ago with Gate.com, and this has allowed me to publish successfully all 4 pages to Google Sites, so that I can see them and develop them further, so -  

TXT verification in DNS setting - NOT VERIFIED

CNAME verification in DNS settings - VERIFIED - allowing me I think to PUBLISH all 4 pages to Google Sites. 

But beyond this, the Google platform is technically beyond me, and especially with planning for machine learning and voice and finance, etc., for example, - and WUaS is seeking professional guidance here. 

Again, I'm continuing to seek a faculty position at Stanford, had two scheduled video conferences with Stanford Peace Innovation Institute's Mark Nelson about this fairly recently about this agenda doc, have been in communication with and emailed recent Stanford President/now Chair of Alphabet John Hennessy my MIT Media Lab faculty application earlier this year (which I'm attaching - with my updated CV), have been in touch with Stanford Dean Larry Lagerstrom and an Associate Vice Provost Paul Marca there about this as well. Also gave a talk in the UC Berkeley Tourism Studies' lecture series on Fr Oct 26, 2018 in these regards, which video, related resources and slides you'll find interesting - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2018/10/lewis-river-washington-state-uc.html - and I'm grateful that UC Berkeley Professor Emeritus Nelson Graburn, who organizes this, wrote the Forward to my actual virtual Harbin Hot Springs' ethnographic book - http://www.scottmacleod.com/ActualVirtualHarbinBook.html - and my third book is coming out soon this autumn. And the course I'm co-teaching at World University and School with Larry Viehland (above) is proceeding - at not-yet-accredited World University and School, but with our first matriculated online undergraduate class. 

Seeking to teach the first of 3 courses beginning in January at Stanford - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/InfoTechNetworkSocGlobalUniv.html (the other two you'll find here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2018/10/field-and-water-programming-robotics.html). 

Please remember that the two WUaS wings A) and B) are a remarkable and unique GROWTH & revenue opportunity to create online CC-4 MIT OCW-centric (in five languages) universities in ~200 countries' official/main languages, and wiki schools in all 7,097 living languages, with academic presses / bookstores / computer stores (Ikea / Walmart) 0 where Wikipedia is in ~300 languages, and WUaS has too Wikidata/Wikibase with MediaWiki. And WUaS seeks to hire a remarkable number of Stanford graduate students, beginning with the pending WUaS National Science Foundation grant, and potentially eventually hire possibly 2.2 million people in all ~200 countries and ~7,100 living languages - to become the Stanford / Harvard / MIT / Oxbridge of the Internet. 

Looking forward to learning how best to proceed with, and scale, the WUaS information technology platform, and with the faculty position as well.  

How best to communicate about this further? 

Thank you very much, and looking forward to further communication about this soon.

Thanks, Tony,

Let's plan for this as we begin to develop World University and School in WUaS MediaWiki / Wikidata/Wikibase here in the World University and School Law Schools -
https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Law_School (and in the beginning planned online law schools below, planned in all ~200 countries' official languages).

Hope to begin a 'Blockchain ledger' wiki subject at WUaS soon too, but in the meantime people can wiki-add blockchain resources here - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Law and https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Artificial_Intelligence and https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Banking_and_Money (accessible from -  https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Subjects), - each subject planned in each of all ~200 countries' official and main languages.

Not too many blockchain ledger or related courses at MIT OCW (https://ocw.mit.edu/search/ocwsearch.htm?q=blockchain), or at WUaS (https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/w/index.php?search=blockchain&title=Special%3ASearch&go=Go), so looking forward to developing such curriculum out of Stanford Law CodeX and Stanford Law re World Univ & Sch.

Tony, where do you see the blockchain ledger and law playing a role with the development of a single cryptocurrency in all ~200 countries, and backed by all ~200 countries' central banks - and re MIT Digital Currency Initiative's Executive Director, Neha Narula - https://twitter.com/neha - if at all? Have blogged some about this - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2018/07/himalayan-brown-bear-world-univ-sch.html - as well, and with regard to Stanford too and developing approaches to alleviate poverty in Africa, for example, but all around the world (https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Poverty_Action). World University and School is seeking to plan for all 7.5 billion end users as we develop our 'main You at WUaS' (https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/You_at_World_University) for learners in all 7,097 living languages, and this could dovetail with the development of a single cryptocurrency in all ~200 countries.

Jonathan, talk with you soon about this.

Thank you, Tony.
