Scott MacLeod is founder & president of World University and School (WUaS), an effort to make a high-quality, versatile, free education available to all who desire it, via the Internet. Drawing on wiki technology and with a tremendous supply creative commons-licensed open courseware from MIT & Yale, WUaS is launching its first 4-year class this fall. This project aims to make the education and learning available in a vast number of languages, eventually all languages from all countries - always free to the student. While the vision is breath-taking and the goals lofty, the plan draws on established and tried tools, and overlapping projects like Stanford Online High School and other ground-breaking implementations.

So great, Mark!

Loving your understanding, questions and our conversation's forward momentum ... and the last song especially. :)

Click on the Harbin Hot Springs' gate in Google Streetview with time slider here - https://twitter.com/HarbinBook (top left) - and walk "big foot" 4 miles down the road to Middletown ... this is the beginning I hope of a realistic virtual earth at the atomic, cellular and street levels for STEM research in all 8,444 languages (the number went up in Glottolog recently) and as a developing classroom .. 

Hoping to post your Northern Spirit Radio interview to my blog tomorrow - 

Friendly singing!

Gratefully,
Scott
