Outer Banks: Teaching at the MIT Media Lab this autumn?, Outer Voices ("dedicated to weaving unheard stories from remote parts of the world into contemporary media to educate, support and inspire others to action"), Check out Markus Kroetzsch's video, pinned here to the top of Info @ World University and School .org 's G+ feed, Main structured knowledge database heads at Wikidata/Wikibase, which is Wikipedia's "back end" in 299 languages, Markus Kroetzsch is "lead of the Wikidata data model specification and research group leader at Technische Universität Dresden, Dresden, Germany," Stanford Swiss event - "Switzerland : Growing National Startup Ecosystems via Corporates & Universities" and collaboration with World University and School, "[Maniphest] [Created] T2276: Develop SUBJECT TEMPLATE re WUaS Miraheze Mediawiki"


Thanks for the news, Stephanie, and welcome home to Massachusetts! :)
(friend from Reed College:)


Great to hear of all your multi-lingual Outer Voice - http://outervoices.org/ - travels
(https://mailchi.mp/29fc85299715/laos-and-hurricanes?e=14bfba8b41)!


I hope to be teaching at the MIT Media Lab this autumn (http://worlduniversityandschool.org/InfoTechNetworkSocGlobalUniv.html) and re World University and School planned in each of ~200 countries' official languages as major online universities, and in all 7,099 living languages as wiki schools for open teaching and learning; and also re developing a realistic interactive virtual Harbin/earth/universe re my two Harbin books.  (Think Google Street View w time slider/Maps/Earth & at the cellular & atomic levels with Minecraft/SL/OpenSimulator too e.g. https://twitter.com/sgkmacleod/status/955218421267841024). Visit the Harbin Hot Springs' gate, for example, here, in Google Street View ~ http://tinyurl.com/p62rpcg (accessible from here: https://twitter.com/HarbinBook?lang=en) ~ and "walk" down the road 4 miles to Middletown, CA, where you can "amble" around the streets there, to get an early view of where this might be heading. Big projects re the Media Lab 😊 and I would be heading a group there.


Would then head back to the Bay Area for my Harbin project and MIT WUaS developments (with Stanford Medicine and Law too? ) out here for 7 months in January 2019, then back to Cambridge in autumn 2019.


Harbin again in Spring 2019 - and possibly with a class of students? :)


If I get the tenure track position, I hope we can meet up in the Boston area, Stephanie!

Scott

Check out Markus Kroetzsch's video, pinned here to the top of Info @ World University and School .org 's G+ feed -
https://plus.google.com/u/2/+InfoWorldUniversityinEnglish/posts/c4QyjJ4dnRS (see email address above too).

He's one of the founders of the Semantic Web - http://korrekt.org/ - I think and is now the main structured knowledge database heads at Wikidata/Wikibase, which is Wikipedia's "back end" in 299 languages. His Semantic Web papers could be very helpful here- https://iccl.inf.tu-dresden.de/web/Wissensbasierte_Systeme/en - and as a Professor of this in Dresden, his team is growing. He's  "lead of the Wikidata data model specification and research group leader at Technische Universität Dresden, Dresden, Germany" (https://cacm.acm.org/magazines/2014/10/178785-wikidata/fulltext).

While World University and School is like Wikipedia in 299 languages plus CC-4 MIT OpenCourseWare in 5 languages, we seek to develop in all 7,099 living languages, nation state by state - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Nation_States - each a major online university in the countries' language. The linguistic A.I. that emerges from this will be significant to your work, Mark, I think. We donated ourselves to Wikidata for co-development in 2015, and are also in Google Education, and are very Google-ecosystem centric e.g. re TensorFlow and Google Translate (GNMT), conceptually.

What's your focus these days, Mark?

Scot, Mark and All,

Here's the Semantic_Web wiki subject page for open teaching and learning - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Semantic_Web (planned in all countries' official/main languages) - before it moves into our new Miraheze Mediawiki wiki - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University - with Wikidata/Wikibase structured knowledge database (of which Markus Kroetzasch is the lead) as our "backend." So main ideas of the Semantic Web will probably be built in here to Wikidata's "ontology." There's at least one MIT OpenCourseWare course here, for example, with an invitation to add further courses or resources, and make this Semantic Web wiki "school" grow - and develop a generative conversation. The MIT OCW courses and their like will eventually be offered for credit for free, CC-4 OCW-centric online university degrees (Bachelor, Ph.D., Law, MD and I.B. high school) ... and in each of all ~200 countries' official languages - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Nation_States

Cheers, 
Scott

Hi 

Having met Penny, Lea and Andrea at their Stanford presentation recently, and received an email from Penny (below), I'm writing to ask if you could please begin to set up major online universities in each of their following languages, and a wiki school in Romansh, beginning with the following: 

Online CC-4 MIT OpenCourseWare-centric universities:
Switzerland World University and School: https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Switzerland
Suisse World University and School (in each of Switzerland's languages): ...

France World University and School: https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/France

Italia World University and School: ...

Deutschland World University and School: ... 

Österreich World University and School: ...

All nation states: 

Wiki schools:
Romansh language World University and School: ...

Swiss German language World University and School (in Schweizerdeutsch: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schweizerdeutsch ): ...

All languages ... 


The Universities' front pages would be based on this - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/ - and in their official languages. And like on this page, they would be linked to the new wiki WUaS main Subject pages with Wikidata / Wikibase as a "backend" around this SUBJECT TEMPLATE: http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/SUBJECT_TEMPLATE . 

And these Swiss universities and schools would become templates and the basis for major universities in each of all ~200 countries' main/official languages, and for wiki schools in each of all 7,099 living languages (per Ethnologue - https://www.ethnologue.com ; see too Glottolog's 8475 entries in languages - http://glottolog.org/glottolog/language and the in-between number from the ISO 639 with local ranges). 

Lea, might you able be able please to become the project manager for an Universal Translator which might emerge from both Google Translate GNMT with Wikimedia Content Translation - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/WUaS_Universal_Translator - and eventually for machine translation and publishing?

Andrea, might you please be able to help develop Italia WUaS in Italian, and a World University and School realistic virtual earth / universe for A) as field sites for STEM research/computer modeling, B) as classrooms, as C) nation states' incubators for startups, and as D) links from our Google Information Boxes on the 1) non-profit side to our related planned revenue streams, and 2) links on the WUaS Co for-profit side planned in ~200 countries' official languages directly to each stock market in all ~200 countries' languages (think ~200 countries of the Olympics) perhaps via a Cryptocurrency, plus many other foci? I can share with you the planned revenue streams in these regards when interested. (Think Google Street View with time slider/Maps/Earth & at the cellular & atomic levels with Minecraft/SL/OpenSimulator + too e.g. https://twitter.com/sgkmacleod/status/955218421267841024).

Alain, might you please be able to develop France WUaS in French, as well as Swiss WUaS in French?

Cyril, WUaS is interested in building in each of all of the SwissCom foci (see below) - https://www.swisscom.ch/en/business/start-up/collaboration/co-creation.html - but in quite specific ways, and with a developing cryptocurrency with blockchain ledger potentially with an universal basic income for all 7.5 billion people, partly as a way to spread a new international cryptocurrency, like the Euro comes after the Swiss franc.


I hope to be teaching at the MIT Media Lab this autumn (http://worlduniversityandschool.org/InfoTechNetworkSocGlobalUniv.html) and re World University and School planned in each of ~200 countries' official languages as major online universities, and in all 7,099 living languages as wiki schools for open teaching and learning; and also re developing a realistic interactive virtual Harbin/earth/universe re my two Harbin HOT SPRINGS books. Visit the Harbin Hot Springs' gate, for example, here, in Google Street View ~ http://tinyurl.com/p62rpcg (accessible from here: https://twitter.com/HarbinBook?lang=en) ~ and "walk" down the road 4 miles to Middletown, CA, where you can "amble" around the streets there, to get an early view of where this might be heading - big projects re the Media Lab 😊 too, and I would be heading a group there. I would then head back to the SF Bay Area for my Harbin project and MIT WUaS developments (with Stanford Medicine and Law too? ) out here for 7 months in January 2019, then back to Cambridge in autumn 2019. 

I post much in these blogs with important related information / planning for all of this - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2018/02/outer-banks-teaching-at-mit-media-lab.html (https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/) - including this email today. 

Thank you, - this is an enormous co-creative WWW and knowledge development growth opportunity in innumerable ways. Thanks again for your great Stanford Swiss presentation, and very nice to meet you!

Hi Penny, Lea, Andrea, Burton and All, 

Nice talking with you recently at the Stanford Swiss event - "Switzerland : Growing National Startup Ecosystems via Corporates & Universities" ... http://events.stanford.edu/events/751/75189/. Thanks for your excellent presentation panel as well. Great to talk with Mitch and "meet" your children, Andrea, as well.

In terms of your talk, and in developing online startup MIT OCW wiki universities and schools in all languages, World University and School's motherlode / gold mine is CC-4 MIT OpenCourseWare in 5 languages - https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/translated-courses/ - and WUaS seeks to create major online Universities in each of all ~200 countries' official languages from this, offering online Bachelor, Ph.D., Law, and MD, as well as IB high school degrees, free to students (due to CC-4 licensing). So in what ways could WUaS further best facilitate "Growing National Startup Ecosystems via Corporates & Universities" in each of these countries' official/main languages online, based on your thinking? 

Per my question about potentially doing this in a 3D interactive realistic virtual earth, visit the Harbin Hot Springs' gate, for example, here, in Google Street View ~ http://tinyurl.com/p62rpcg (accessible from here: https://twitter.com/HarbinBook?lang=en) ~ and "walk" down the road 4 miles to Middletown, CA. WUaS would like to create countries as place, and people as avatar bots, online to develop startup ecosystems via corporates and universities. Think Google Street View with TIME SLIDER, Maps, Earth, Brain, Hangouts-into-avatar-bots, and group build-able like Minecraft (with a virtual-actual correspondence with Lago and the physical), SL, OpenSim, (but realistic, not cartoon-esque) - and at the cellular and atomic levels too. This would be a STEM field site and classrooms, as well as nation states (in Google Earth, where people in Hangouts-into-avatar bots could meet in virtual place), and would begin with online Swiss French, German and Italian MIT OCW-centric universities re Switzerland, and a Romansh wiki school in Switzerland WUaS (https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Switzerland), in virtual Switzerland (https://www.google.com/maps/place/Switzerland/@46.2237315,6.1333955,3a,75y,316h,88t/data=!3m8!1e1!3m6!1sAF1QipMAqd664RtU75tu9wORSN6ReDwELU0BveI-qLy6!2e10!3e11!6shttps:%2F%2Flh5.googleusercontent.com%2Fp%2FAF1QipMAqd664RtU75tu9wORSN6ReDwELU0BveI-qLy6%3Dw203-h100-k-no-pi-8.464018-ya207.86691-ro19.876877-fo100!7i5376!8i2688!4m5!3m4!1s0x478c64ef6f596d61:0x5c56b5110fcb7b15!8m2!3d46.818188!4d8.227512). Corporations would emerge out of this too. This is a very Google-centric planning, conceptually and Mitch could potentially help with this in these regards. 

Andrea's parking project with unfolding data machine learning and AI resources would emerge here, too, in terms of place.

And this realistic virtual earth planned at the cellular and atomic levels for bioengineering, for example, with all species, could facilitate further experimentation such as what emerges with Ava, Lea. 

Thank you for the wonderful Alphorn music too, Monika. WUaS is planning an online music school for all instruments in all languages - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/World_University_Music_School (which is moving into our new Miraheze Mediawiki with Wikidata/Wikibase's structured knowledge database as a "back end") - each a wiki subject page to begin for open teaching and learning. Music-making and lessons would happen in group video (as this moves to real, real time) and later in a realistic virtual earth

In conjunction with https://epfl.ch/, how might we best explore further something like "Nation State : Growing National Startup Ecosystems via Corporates & Universities" together? 

Thank you again!


Best, Scott

Hi Larry, Diana and Kyle, and All, 

On Valentine's Day, John Lewis added some new developers to our Phabricator page here - https://phabricator.miraheze.org/T2276 - "Develop SUBJECT TEMPLATE re WUaS Miraheze Mediawiki" . Phabricator is for work flow organization.

In seeking to plan for 7.5 learners / Universitians, in all 7,099 living languages at this early stage, there are implications for both wings of WUaS: A) World University and School and B) WUaS Corp.

Seeking to get you some shares for our WUaS Corp Board meeting on 2/14 in your office at Stanford Medicine recently, Diana. (Hoping this process will become automated too).

(Julian, re your business focus, I just posted today this - https://twitter.com/JannaQ/status/965646689460682752 - to https://twitter.com/WUaSPress ... and check out Stanford Professor Burton Lee's Europreneur series - https://www.youtube.com/user/StanfordEuropreneurs/videos - which I also just added here to our new wiki - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Entrepreneurship . There appear to be two presentations focused on Romania, for example).

Sincerely, Scott



Monday, Feb 19, 2018 to phabricator https://phabricator.miraheze.org/T2276

Thanks for this update, John Lewis! 

I attempted to add a new "Regions" wiki subject page to World University and School's new wiki in WUaS Miraheze Mediawiki, but couldn't because the central "SUBJECT TEMPLATE" - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/SUBJECT_TEMPLATE?action=edit - isn't up and running in WUaS Miraheze Mediawiki,  I did, however, add a "Regions" new page LINK to https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Nation_States . 

And because I couldn't create a "Regions" wiki subject page in WUaS Mediawiki, I created one the old way here - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Regions - copying and pasting the WUaS Wikia SUBJECT_TEMPLATE . I then added a reference to a Stanford talk about Flanders, to give you an idea of how wiki WUaS works.  

The WUaS Miraheze Mediawiki SUBJECT_TEMPLATE will, however, connect with Wikidata/Wikibase. How best to do this, and anticipating all 299 of Wikipedia's languages? (Translation of the sections will be part of this, but I'm not sure which section headings will get a Q-item, for example). And how best, at this stage, to plan for 7.5 billion endusers / learners / Universitians, and in each of all 7,099 living languages - via the SUBJECT TEMPLATE with Wikidata/Wikibase? 

Any chance I could please begin adding new wiki Subject pages, like the Regions' page, newly in WUAS Miraheze Mediawiki  WITH Wikidata / Wikibase - as well as already registered / matriculated students at World University and School (for free CC-4 MIT OpenCourseWare-centric online degrees)? 

Thank you, thank you, thank you! - Scott_WUaS ( worlduniversityandschool.org is where this will all link from, in English )
