Minutes for January 13, 2018 World University & School Monthly Business Meeting


(Agendas:



Present:
-       Larry Viehland (Board Chair and CFO/Treasurer of World University and School)
-       Scott MacLeod (President, Presiding Clerk and Recording Clerk of World University and School)




Minute 1

World University and School seeks to grow its team, conceptually, emerging from collaborations with MIT, Stanford, Google and Wikimedia/Wikipedia, and eventually to engage the academic and organizational hiring practices of these organizations, - and in all ~200 nation states’ official languages as well as wiki schools in all 7,099 living languages.


Minute 2

Re World University and School "independent study" courses for credit, WUaS seeks too to explore a possible collaboration with MIT OCW into MITx “self paced” courses, among other ways of academic advising.


Minute 3

World Univ & Sch's first matriculated class is continuing into 2018!


Minute 4
Accreditation
Re free CC MIT OCW-centric degree focus, where WUaS in its MIT OCW-centricity seeks in the beginning to be a kind of a self-accrediting organization. As WUaS grows WUaS interested in exploring whether WUaS could collaborate with edX for their MIT OCW into MITx courses (i.e. https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/mitx-related-courseware/) and with regard to accreditation too; at World University and School, MIT OCW-centricity is WUaS’s standard for self-accreditation, allowing for the development of creative computing learning environment, in all ~200 countries official languages, and wiki-wise in all 8,461 languages.


Minute 5
The IRS accepted World Univ and Sch's 990 tax form this morning, January 14, 2018 so World University and School continues as a 510 c 3 non-profit organization.

In a related vein, World University and School should be getting Google "Knowledge Panel" soon, per this communication from Google around December 11 , 2017:
“Where can users donate to my nonprofit on Google?
Currently, users in eligible countries searching for your nonprofit directly on Google.com will see a donation button in your nonprofit's Knowledge Panel, after you have signed up to receive donations. “ … https://support.google.com/donations/answer/7570174?hl=en&ref_topic=7569204

Minute 6
World Univ and Sch's home page - http://worlduniversityandschool.org - is due for a remake and in planning for free CC OCW DEGREES, and WIKI schools in all 8,461 entries in languages WUaS would like to develop in these directions: https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2018/01/gentiana-acaulis-in-what-ways-will-we.html  ...

Minute 7
Financial report - no change, but there was a donation in late December that will be reported in the next financial report

Minute 8
World University and School monthly business meeting minutes is newly beginning to email these minutes separately (from the WUaS Corporation’s minutes) and to different groups of people.


  
Sincerely,
Scott
