Hi Scott and L,

I think you've outlined a great plan. A business degree it is. I'm excited to be able to do this. The order or the start date are not important to me. If there is an effort of cooperation that would need to be coordinated, that end could be pursued and I would be willing to jump to it when everything is ready. If it is my own initiative, I'll just get myself started on the 200 course and go up from there.
The extra course - would I still pick within the business section?

Thank you,

Tania

Hi Tania (and L), 

Thank you. I've updated the Course Catalog at WUaS a little further - see ... http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2017/03/kri-kri-updated-course-catalog-at-wuas.html - including adding our first free HarvardX/JuryX course re WUaS's planned law degree, as well as the first CC OCW WUaS course, plus links to all the MIT OCW courses in 6 other languages. 

I'd like to suggest you take the WUaS course, Tanya, - "Information Technology, the Network Society, and the Global University" ...  http://worlduniversityandschool.org/InfoTechNetworkSocGlobalUniv.html (and we can focus it business-wise too) - which will be interactive and cooperative, probably in Google group video Hangouts, and that you begin the courses you'll take this autumn sometime from mid-August to late September (depending on online course interactivity possibilities re MIT itself, as well as possibly Stanford's). I'd like for all of the courses you take to be interactive and conference method- or seminar-focused, but recognize the value to you of asynchronous-ness re your travel schedule. But live interactivity in learning is a central focus for World University. And WUaS seeks to hire graduate students learning to become faculty to facilitate online seminar-style courses, like students at Stanford and MIT teaching sections in conjunction with a professor (in your case MIT faculty in video). (The HarvardX / JuryX course may actual bridge both of these issues, and WUaS may seek to extend this to other MIT OCW courses for credit with time). 

How does beginning in the autumn and taking "Information Technology, the Network Society, and the Global University" sound to you? 

Would you like to meet again at AFSC / SFFM in the upcoming week or so to talk further about this, as well? 

Best, Scott

Hi E, L. M.,

I'm glad to say WUaS has a student who's matrculating this autumn. You can read our latest communication from today here - 


The Course Catalog at WUsS for credit is also developing. Have to figure how best (process-wise) to add free, timely, topical and actively taught courses to it - 

whereas I just added this course from 2016 ...

Linked Data Engineering
Prof. Dr. Harald Sack
Oct 17, 2016 - Dec 12, 2016
https://open.hpi.de/courses/semanticweb2016


to these wiki pages - 
e.g. 


- as a resource, and to which anyone can wiki-add, for open teaching and learning.


Thanks, L, for creating/beginning this Course Catalog at WUaS (a few years ago!), which should develop into a database soon - and 're languages.

Fond regards,
Scott
