Paeonia lactiflora: Languages of China, having heard there are 8 language family groups, and many more languages (mutual intelligibility being one definition) * * * Would all of you like to further found China World University and School together and online? * * An online China Law School at World University - - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/China_Law_School_at_WUaS - and out of the Stanford Law China Guiding Cases Project



Dear Mei, Scott, Jie, Prashant Hongbin, Mingwei and All,

Mei - what an excellent Stanford "Education Equity in China in a Global Context" - https://events.stanford.edu/events/838/83803/ &  https://www.eventbrite.com/e/2019-epic-china-education-forum-tickets-60690755684. Thanks for your excellent presentations and contributions. And nice to meet you. Mei, and Hongbin, could we explore together developing an online China Law School at World University - - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/China_Law_School_at_WUaS - and out of the Stanford Law China Guiding Cases Project - https://law.stanford.edu/china-guiding-cases-project/ - or which you're the director, Mei, in addition to online MIT OCW-centric Bachelor and Ph.D. degrees, all in traditional Chinese language and online?

And are you all familiar with MIT OCW in traditional Chinese - https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/translated-courses/traditional-chinese/ as well as MIT OCW high school, not yet in Chinese - https://ocw.mit.edu/high-school/ - but both with remarkable math and STEM potential degree potential?

In speaking with Teacher Jie Li after the panel discussion, and with regard to reaching out to rural populations, I asked here about the languages of China, having heard there are 8 language family groups, and many more languages (mutual intelligibility being one definition; whom else if anyone is working on this, I wonder?). All of this is relevant with regard to your last great presentations and panel on equity and efficiency re the Chinese college entrance exam, in so many ways.  (By the way, CC-r MIT OCW-centric wiki World University and School is seeking to create online wiki schools in all known living languages - 7111 living languages emerging from here - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Languages - and as wiki subject pages in these languages, people could add the Chinese languages' teaching resources that schools, governments, organizations and individual coders might creatively generate, but these would also be platforms for MIT OCW-centric curriculum at all levels. WUaS seeks also to facilitate the development, with time, of avatar bot teachers - emerging out of chat bot AI / machine learning technologies - and explicitly eventually in multiple languages. This would be a way to reach out to rural populations and not only in the Chinese languages, but in many, if not all, of Chinese languages). 

One question I wondered about further is how to develop curriculum for K-8 students emerging out of MIT OCW teachings, and esp. from Stanford Education, and with regards to "Transforming K-12 Education" - https://openlearning.mit.edu/beyond-campus/transforming-k-12-education.

And in a related vein, how might the Scratch drag and drop programming language, with Lego Robotics, help kids to learn coding in China and Robotics in the Chinese language from a young age even? (See letter to Christina Weiland below).

Prashant and all, with regards to studying online STEM and mathematics learning with regards to Scratch drag and drop programming language, I'm posting below an email I sent to a recent Stanford Ed speaker, Univ of Michigan Professor Christine Weiland (on May 16) - https://events.stanford.edu/events/838/83867/ . 

And further World University and School as major online CC-4 MIT OCW-centric universities and high schools in all ~200 countries' official and main languages, planning Bachelor, Ph.D., Law, M.D. and I.B. degrees, is a remarkable opportunity for China re planned online Medical Schools and online teaching hospitals partly in a realistic virtual earth (for tele-robotic surgery, genetic engineering, and Electronic Medical Records / Health Insurance) there - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Medical_School and https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Hospital - in these regards (emerging potentially out of Stanford Medicine / Law OpenCourseCourse or similar, - since MIT has neither a Medical nor a Law School) - and CC-4 MIT OCW is in 5 languages to begin - https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/translated-courses/. With free-to-students' degrees, Chinese would get MIT for free (in a sense - since WUaS would seek reimbursement from all ~200 countries' Ministries of Education per student per year, and re Stanford's tuition). WUaS is currently waiting to begin accreditation with the CA BPPE - https://twitter.com/CaBPPE/status/1024666814989488134 (and then WASC senior). And World Univ & Sch is a A) non-profit, and incorporated as a forked parallel second legal entity, the WUaS Press / Corp, a B) for-profit general stock company, in 2017, two further great opportunities - both planned in all ~200 countries and in all 7,111 living languages with machine learning and machine translation. 

Would all of you like to further found China World University and School together and online? 

All the Best, Scott

Here's what I have in mind by a 3D interactive realistic virtual universe / earth and at the atomic / cellular levels in something like Google Street View with TIME SLIDER / Maps / Earth / Translate +++ : Visit the Harbin Hot Springs' gate here, and "walk" "4 miles" down the road to "amble" around Middletown, CA: http://tinyurl.com/p62rpcg ~ https://twitter.com/HarbinBook ~ http://bit.ly/HarbinBook ~

All planned online in Traditional Chinese for free-to-students' CC-4 MIT OCW-centric degrees at World University and School:






Re Scratch and Scratch Jr ...
Dear Christina, 

Thanks for your talk and the great research you presented yesterday - https://events.stanford.edu/events/838/83867/ - and nice to meet you. (Did you enjoy Dartmouth and Harvard?) I greatly appreciate your rigorous research in many ways. 

In a brainstorming fashion, my question could be modified to inquire if you could substitute Scratch Jr drag and drop programming language - https://www.media.mit.edu/projects/scratchjr/overview/ & - https://www.scratchjr.org/ from MIT Media Lab for 5-7 year olds for the math curriculum you studied, and then begin to study samples in multiple Boston schools / 'jurisdictions' online, since Scratch is much online any way? (Further related STEM studies with Lego Robotics such as WeDo 2.0 and Mindstorms EV3 and even both actually and virtually, physically and digitally in something like Google Street View, with Brick Street View, where the brick in this 'hack' from about 2014 refers to Lego bricks, and may develop in upcoming years in a realistic virtual earth like Google Streetview / Maps / Earth / TensorFlow +).

We could create a wiki subject page at World University and School like - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Clinical_Trials_at_WUaS_(for_all_languages) (check out the MIT OCW eventually for credit, in multiple languages, accessible from https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Subjects - with many other wiki subjects having many more MIT OCW courses). 

I'm including below the email I just shared with many people about World University and School' open monthly business meeting below, for your interest. May I add you to the monthly business meeting email list? 

Nice to meet and talk with you.

Sincerely, Scott

Dear Hongbin and All, 

Re your interesting research on twins in China, here too is the "Twin Studies"' wiki subject page at World Univ & Sch - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Twin_Studies (and check out the MIT OCW courses here in many of these open scalable wiki subjects at WUaS - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Subjects - which will eventually be for credit, to get an idea further of how World Univ & Sch will work in Chinese too).

And could you possibly please forward this email to Peking University Professors Wen Hai and Changjun Yue since I got a bounce back from cjyue@pku.edu. 

I also got a bounce back from Teacher Jie Li's email, so if someone knows an email that works for her, could you please forward this email to her as well, and to Wesley Chu and others too. 

I'm also adding to this email thread Stanford MD Professor Dr. Chih-Hung Jason Wang - https://profiles.stanford.edu/chih-hung-wang - who went to MIT as an undergraduate, and is focusing on developing hospital technologies in a startup company. 

If China WUaS were to have the resources, WUaS would love to begin hiring for summer internship academic jobs online, and all of you could list being the co-founders of China World University and School - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/China - in these regards as well. 

Thank you, Scott

Hi Tianyu, 

Thanks! I had emailed you and about 20 other conference attendees the following two emails earlier today, and received 2 bounce backs as you'll see below, but none from you, so am not sure why you didn't get these emails. (Perhaps someone with Google screened these for Stanford related students??? an hypothesis, and don't really know). So thanks for contacting me and good to hear from you. And sounds good. Any specific questions?

Regards, and I hope to email everyone soon again. Please let me know if you happen to receive an email with the group if possible. 

Sincerely,
Scott

Dear Prof Hongbin Li and All, 

Thank you for the excellent "Stanford Ed - Inquire, Innovate, Inspire - Education Equity in China in a Global Context" conference last Sunday at this time. I've blogged about this here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2019/05/paeonia-lactiflora-languages-of-china.html.

Looking forward to staying in touch about China World University and School re equity questions, and all planned online in Traditional Chinese for free-to-students' CC-4 MIT OCW-centric Bachelor, Ph.D., Law, M.D. and I.B. high school online degrees at World University and School:


In addition to including Stanford Dr. Jason Wang MD, I'm also including Patrick & Regan Kao (who also speak fluent Mandarin; Regan is a Stanford librarian of East Asian studies), and whom I met at the Scratch drag and drop programming language yesterday in SF at Google Embarcadero. Greetings Jason, Patrick and Regan!

I'll plan to add you all to World Univ & Sch's 2 monthly emails, unless I hear unsubscribe from you. Please extend my greetings to Peking University Professors Wen Hai and Changjun Yue and speakers at the conference. 

Thank you again (and please forward to other participants if possible). WUaS seeks to emerge out of Stanford significantly. 

All the best, Scott MacLeod
