NEWS about World University and School:

1 Could universities become first investors in new potential revenue developments at CC WUaS; Investing here by greatest universities would be much broader than just capital, and would include questions of engagement; These new developments are simply ways of re-conceiving organizational structures - legally, institutionally, financially, linguistically and especially information technologically ... in terms of all-languages and all countries' World University and School - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2015/12/armillaria-honey-mushroom-could.html.

2 World University and School is looking forward to talking with US Brigadier General Kim Crider next week about wiki WUaS planned in all 7,938+ languages and 259+ countries. Kim Crider is affiliated with the Harvard Office of Information Technology, where Anne Margulies is Harvard's CIO - http://huit.harvard.edu/pages/anne-margulies (and Anne Margulies was also the founding Executive Director of CC MIT OpenCourseWare, upon which CC World University and School plans to accredit in the 7 CC MIT OCW languages, if possible, as well as on CC Yale OYC). In seeking to become the Harvard of the Internet in all countries' main languages, WUaS also doesn't know of any other great universities developing with machine learning.

Dear Friend:

Please support World University and School in its work for Best STEM CC OCW-centric, online degrees, and worldwide learning! WUaS is a global, digital, open, free-to-students, multilingual university & school, where anyone can teach or take a class or course; it's like Wikipedia with Best STEM Open Course Ware. World University and School is an education and service organization that can change thousands of lives each year.

Best STEM OCW-centric World University & School is seeking undergraduate students for free, online, Best STEM OCW-centric, bachelor’s degrees to apply in the autumn of 2015, for matriculation in autumn 2016 - http://worlduniversityandschool.org - and is already open for learning as wiki. You or anyone can teach a course or take a class now at wiki (editable web pages) WUaS, and WUaS is planning to do this in all 7,938 + languages, and < 200 countries, potentially with many, free CC degrees, or at any level of education.

We are planning five degrees - Bachelor, Law, I.B., M.D., and Ph.D. - with matriculating classes in 2017 in English.  To support these free, Best STEM OCW-centric, Creative Commons’ licensed degrees, WUaS seeks to raise $100,000 in our 2015 capital campaign, and $125, 000 in next years’ campaign. Come join WUaS’s Gold, Silver or Bronze Giving Circles here - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/%24100%2C000_Capital_Campaign_at_World_University_and_School - before our fiscal year ends on December 31, 2015. If you’d like to help volunteer at World University and School, we’ve recently begun the ‘Association for WUaS’ -  http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Association_for_World_University_and_School - to help with merchandising WUaS, for example, in WUaS’s upcoming, online Bookstore / Computer store - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Bookstore_/_Computer_Store_(New_&_Used)_at_WUaS.

And World University & School plans to expand steadily to make teaching and learning materials available in every language and in most countries. WUaS is designing this educational resource to work on "One Laptop Per Child" computers in Rwanda, Ethiopia, Colombia, Haiti, Mexico, Peru, Uruguay, Afghanistan, Mongolia, Cambodia, & Papua New Guinea. These resources will also work on video-capable, programmable, mobile phone-like devices ("broadband video on a handheld computer"). And people in developing world countries can add their own teaching and learning resources to World University's wiki (editable, web pages). Best STEM Open Course Ware will be our model for degree-granting, academic, course work. With the interactive Google + video hangouts +, and virtual worlds, it's now possible to engage with almost every aspect of learning which occurs in the classroom, especially INTERACTIVELY, through group video, group voice communication, group text chat, as well as video streaming. WUaS now also has Google Classroom, and recently donated CC WUaS to CC Wikidata for further development. On its own and in connection with these technologies, World University and School has the potential to generate a remarkable archive of courses over time.

We need your help. You can make 501 (c) (3), U.S., federal, tax-deductible contributions directly to World University and School, P.O. Box 442, (86 Ridgecrest Road), Canyon, California, 94516. Alternately, you can give by credit card or PayPal account here at http://worlduniversityandschool.org.

Sincerely,
