Greetings from MIT OCW-centric - https://ocw.mit.edu/ - wiki #GrowWithGoogleWUaS World Univ & Sch WUaS. WUaS Monthly Business Meeting which is becoming WUaS Weekly Business Meeting / WUaS News and Q&A on Mondays at 10 am PT as you may have read on Saturday, June 21, 2025.
As a Friendly unprogrammed Quaker (NtF, NtQ) leading or calling - to create free universal education with free-to-students' MIT OCW-centric World University and School WUaS Degrees in all ~200 countries and in their main languages, and free wiki schools for people-to-people wiki-teaching and wiki-leading in all 7,159 known living languages - WUaS Monthly Business Meeting (which has met on 3rd Saturdays at 10 am PT until now) is becoming WUaS Weekly Business Meeting / WUaS News and Q&A on Mondays at 10 am PT.
In talking with a Quaker Friend recently, key next steps forWUaS involve becoming accredited potentially with Middle States Commission on Higher Education with offices in the greater Philadelphia PA area (which involves having already matriculated students in part) - and to matriculate large numbers of students for free-to-students' MIT OCW-centric WUaS degrees, online from home.
On the WUaS wiki side, it would be great to be generating large numbers of wiki teachings, and potentially for those people who might be interested in teaching about something they love in the future too & see agenda item 5.
The next MIT OCW-centric - https://ocw.mit.edu/ - wiki World Univ & Sch WUaS News and Q&A meets on Monday June 9, 2025 now again at 10:00 AM Pacific Time, 1:00 PM ET (US & Canada), 5:00 PM GMT, 10:30 PM India Time, 1:00 AM Tu the next day Hong Kong Time (but please check your time converter from any of your 24 time zones to join this open WUaS Monthly Business Meeting) with Zoom URL here too -

How best for people to wiki-teach at MIT OCW-centric wiki World University and School in the open wiki subjects page - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Subjects - for example by teaching to Youtube video about an academic subject or about something they love, and then adding the video to the relevant wiki subject?
World University and School (WUaS) aims to be a free, open, and MIT OCW-centric platform where anyone can contribute to global education. The approach of "wiki-teaching" by adding YouTube videos to relevant subject pages on their wiki is a key part of their vision. Here's a breakdown of how people can best do this, focusing on both academic subjects and topics they love:
General Best Practices for Wiki-Teaching on WUaS with YouTube Videos:
Understand the Wiki Ethos and WUaS Mission:
Openness and Collaboration: WUaS is built on the principles of open education and collaborative knowledge creation, similar to Wikipedia. Embrace this by being open to feedback and potential edits from others.
MIT OCW-centricity: While you can teach on any subject, understand that WUaS emphasizes STEM and aims to accredit courses based on quality open content like MIT OpenCourseWare. Aligning your teaching with academic rigor and clear learning objectives will be highly valued.
Free Education: The core mission is to provide free, quality education globally. Your contributions should reflect this spirit.
Choose Your Topic Wisely:
Academic Subjects: If teaching an academic subject, select a topic within your area of expertise. The goal is to provide accurate, well-explained information that aligns with established academic understanding.
Something You Love: If it's a passion project, ensure you have a deep understanding and can explain it clearly and engagingly. Even non-academic subjects can have educational value.
Create High-Quality YouTube Videos:
Clear Audio and Visuals: Good production quality is crucial for effective learning. Ensure your voice is clear, the lighting is adequate, and any visuals (slides, demonstrations) are easy to see and understand.
Concise and Focused: Break down complex topics into digestible chunks. Each video should ideally focus on a specific concept or skill. This makes it easier for learners to find what they need and prevents overwhelming them.
Engaging Presentation: Be enthusiastic and passionate about your subject. Use clear language, avoid excessive jargon, and consider incorporating examples, analogies, or real-world applications to make the content relatable.
Structured Content: Even for informal teaching, a basic structure (introduction, main points, summary, call to action/next steps) helps learners follow along.
Accessibility: Consider adding captions or providing a transcript for your videos to make them accessible to a wider audience, including those with hearing impairments or non-native English speakers.
Integrate Videos into the Wiki Effectively:
Find the Right Subject Page: Navigate to the relevant subject page on the WUaS wiki (e.g., https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Subjects). If a suitable page doesn't exist, consider creating one, following any wiki guidelines for new page creation.
Embedding Videos: Most wikis allow for easy embedding of YouTube videos. Look for an "edit" button on the wiki page, and then typically there will be an "insert video" or "embed media" option. You'll usually just need to paste the YouTube video URL.
Contextualize Your Video: Don't just embed the video. Add text around it to:
Introduce the Video: Briefly explain what the video is about and what learners will gain from watching it.
Provide Key Takeaways: Summarize the main points discussed in the video.
Offer Further Reading/Resources: Link to related sections on the wiki, MIT OCW courses, external academic articles, or other reputable sources.
Suggest Activities/Questions:Encourage active learning by posing questions for reflection or suggesting small activities related to the video's content.
Categorize and Tag: Ensure the wiki page (and by extension, your video's content) is properly categorized and tagged within the wiki's system. This improves discoverability.
Link to Relevant OCW Materials (where applicable): If your video teaches an academic subject, connect it to specific MIT OpenCourseWare courses or topics. This reinforces the MIT OCW-centric nature of WUaS.
Engage with the Community:
Monitor Your Contributions: Check back on the wiki page periodically to see if others have commented, edited, or added to your contribution.
Be Open to Collaboration: The wiki format thrives on collaborative editing. Be prepared for others to refine your content or add their own insights. This is how the collective knowledge grows.
Participate in Discussions: If there are discussion forums or talk pages associated with the subject, engage with other teachers and learners.
Example for "Teaching a Subject You Love" (e.g., Bread Baking):
Let's say you love teaching sourdough bread baking.
Create Videos:
Video 1: "Introduction to Sourdough Starter" (explaining what it is, how to feed it)
Video 2: "Mixing Sourdough Dough: Autolyse and Bulk Fermentation"
Video 3: "Shaping and Baking Sourdough"
(Each video would be concise, well-lit, with clear instructions and demonstrations.)
Wiki Integration:
Find or create a "Sourdough Baking" page under a broader "Culinary Arts" or "Home Skills" subject on WUaS.
On the "Sourdough Baking" page, create sections for each video.
For Video 1 (Sourdough Starter):
Text Introduction: "This video covers the fundamentals of creating and maintaining a sourdough starter, the living culture essential for sourdough bread."
Embed Video.
Key Takeaways: "You learned the ideal flour-to-water ratio, feeding frequency, and signs of a healthy, active starter."
Further Resources: Link to an external article on starter troubleshooting, or another WUaS page on "Microbiology of Fermentation" if it exists.
Activity: "Try feeding your starter and observe its activity over 12 hours. Share your observations in the comments!"
This structured approach, combining well-produced video content with thoughtful wiki integration, will maximize the educational impact and contribute effectively to the World University and School's mission.
