Heard back from MIT Professor Sanjay Sarma in the Office of Digital Learning this morning and will begin adding CC-4 MIT OCW > MITx from the edX platform - so edX courses - to World University and School's course catalog, another major breakthrough :)

Dear Sanjay,
Thanks so much for your email.
WUaS is going to list edX links in our WUaS course catalog - https://docs.google.com/
We intend to offer free-to-students' programs with 6 majors: 1) EECS, 2) General Science, 3) General Engineering, 4) English, 5) History, 6) Business - see: http://
World Univ & Sch intends to seek reimbursement from non-student sources regarding CC-4 MIT OCW > MITx on the edX platform. How might we use the money transfer mechanism on edX to accomplish this?
Thank you, Scott

Dear Larry,
I think we're / WUaS is good. Sanjay writes : "Thanks Scott."
Now to figure out the next steps.
California's BPPE preferred the "Programs' ' word to the "Majors" ' word in February 2019.
Sincerely, Scott

Dear Larry,
I've started to add MIT OCW > edX courses to the WUaS Course Catalog - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1VRHhXYsk-V9lvSh5onaU2hnEhwoapSN7HyBK1P09LIk/edit?usp=sharing .
I went here -
MITx Courses and Related OCW Courseware
searched on "engineering" and found
which links to -
emerging from - https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/mechanical-engineering/2-96-management-in-engineering-fall-2012/
and so I added this to the WUaS catalog:
GENG 302 Management in Engineering: Strategy and Leadership Major-3 Mech. Eng. https://www.edx.org/course/management-in-engineering-ii
- and there are 2 MIT professors teaching it.
Success! This edX course starts August 11, and is an 'intermediate' course per edX. Shall we add the rest of these MITx courses, and then announce some of the courses' beginning dates in next month's WUaS Monthly Business Meeting News and Agenda? I think Edward G. has expressed interest in an engineering major.
Thanks for your excellent 'MIT English' again re Sanjay's affirmative response!
Sincerely, Scott

Dear Larry,
Thanks so much. I could see this further letter in conversation with Sanjay - in hindsight - as a bit of a gamble, but I think the language of "WUaS is going to list edX links ... " is good logical MIT 'engineering' language, while recognizing a system, and which worked ... and it means that the MIT Office for Digital Learning doesn't have to do anything to speak of, whatsoever ... since there was no response to the questions. I think the timing was good too - ie we hadn't heard back yet regarding Sanjay's "Stay tuned" ... and so WUaS emailed, and then we did hear back this morning with "Thanks Scott." - and WUaS is in the driver's seat so-to-write. The "Your email to President Reif" thread is also a developing conversation.
Now how to plan for using a kind of WikiTree end user schema (presumably wiki and planning for 7.5 billion people) for WUaS matriculated students), and even for our WUaS remuneration / bookstore ? And re UBI experiments too, here's the Stanford Basic Income Lab new map of "Global Map of UBI Experiments: Where Have We Been, Where Are We Now, and Where Are We Going?" - https://basicincome.
Would be great for a programmer to simply add all the relevant links from CC-4 MIT OCW > MITx on edX to the WUaS Course Catalog ... but probably not yet, and I'll seek to add some, or all 205 of these courses, by hand. These GDocs WUaS Course Catalog spreadsheet links may eventually become a master course catalog that will feed into the WUaS Wiki Universities on relevant subjects - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Subjects - in all Wikidata's ~300 languages. :)
Thank you, Larry, for our MIT email drafts' conversations!
Sincerely,
Scott

Also could Stanford's John Etchemendy (via John Hennessy?) help with BPPE licensing - https://twitter.com/CaBPPE ... no new workshops seem posted, and maybe things are shifting there too, - and WUaS doesn't have the monies anyway. How is it that you thought to edit/add the "programs' word (in addition to the 'majors' word) into the WUaS email?

Dear Larry,
I'm hoping the BPPE licensing process goes much more automatically than I got the sense of at the 2/20/19 workshop - and re MIT OCW > edX courses!
Sincerely,
Scott

Stanford Law Codex - 5/28/2020
Thursday, May 28, 2020
Hi Sachin, Julie, Emil, Siva, Roland and All,
Thanks for your excellent presentation (and nice to share today's meeting) just now at Stanford Law Codex - https://law.stanford.edu/2020/05/27/codex-meeting-may-28th-2020/!
Here's the WUaS News' announcement I shared:
Very glad to announce that MIT OCW-centric World Univ & Sch will begin to list MIT OCW > MITx on the edX platform links in the World Univ & Sch Course Catalog - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1VRHhXYsk-V9lvSh5onaU2hnEhwoapSN7HyBK1P09LIk/edit?usp=sharing -
for online free-to-students’ Bachelor degrees this autumn, universities in many languages to follow, and law schools as well.
