Bonjour Yvain, 

Great to have met you in the Mooc-It France presentation about your Instructional Prize winner, "Les Copros Verte" in the Open edX online community meeting facilitated by Ned Batchelder last Thursday - 
https://twitter.com/OpenEdX/status/1281212341917560832?s=20 - and - https://twitter.com/MOOCit_Fr/status/1276069953855250432?s=20 . Thank you for your excellent courses, and congratulations to Mooc-It Fr for your award! I asked and commented in the chat: 

"Excellent, Yvain, and great too to see an application of the edX course interface. Brainstorming-wise, in what ways could you see eventually helping end users to actually be able to design architecturally their renovations (with regulations even) and in a Realistic Virtual Earth for Architecture - https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualEarthForArchitecture?src=hashtag_click - and with this drawing example too -

https://twitter.com/WorldUnivAndSch/status/1074087349829554176?s=20 - all in a Do it Yourself vein? Thank you, Scott (sgkmacleod@worlduniversityandschool.org)


Am thinking in something like Google Street View with time slider with AutoCAD architecture with even Second Life for group-building and avatars, conceptually. Thank you.

(Further brainstorming idea - collaborate too with IKEA’s home design tool too ? … conceptually …)"
And at partner-support@edx.org's recent suggestion - and excited to find you listed here https://open.edx.org/marketplace-category/service-partners/ - I'm reaching out on behalf of wiki World UnIversity and School (which is like CC-4 https://ocw.mit.edu and https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/translated-courses/ in its 4 languages, with Wikidata in Wikipedia's 300 languages) in seeking a service partner to help World Univ & Sch  get started building courses on the Open edX platform per:  

"Open edX
Service Partners
Our service partners offer a wide range of services to organizations that adopt Open edX technology to build their digital learning experiences"

World Univ & Sch is wondering how best to create some introductory courses in Open edX from CC-4 MIT OCW in the WUaS 6 majors - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/ - for students who have expressed interest in this already. And WUaS seeks to be able to send out links to these WUaS courses in the 'Agenda and News for WUaS Monthly Business Meeting' by this Thursday even, or in the WUaS Minutes following Saturday's open WUaS Monthly Business Meeting (see, for example, last month's WUaS Minutes - http://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2020/06/june-20-2020-minutes-for-open-wuas.html?view=sidebar). 

Yvain, in what ways, please, might we begin to explore these questions? In addition, WUaS seeks to develop France World Univ & Sch - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/France (https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Nation_States) - from CC-4 MIT OCW in French (https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/French_language) as well, and it would be great to communicate about this with time. (And with WUaS's plans to create major online universities in all ~200 countries' official / main languages, there are 29 countries in the world that have French as an official language).

Looking forward to learning how "Les Copros Verte" grows and develops. Thank you!

Sincerely, Scott
I had also blogged about your presentation and this Open edX meeting in this Mars' Mission humor blog post -



Ariel, here are some beginnings of a single Realistic Virtual Earth https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualEarth?src=hashtag_click  - and in again, conceptually, Google Street View with Time Slider with Google Maps / Google Earth / TensorFlow / Translate and group build-able like Second Life with avatars, and with AutoCAD architectural design)!


https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Nation_States (planning for ~206 countries, each a major online university, in their official main languages for free-to-students' degrees - Bachelor, Ph.D., Law, MD and I.B. high school - based on best STEM CC-4 OpenCourseWare, in its 4 languages)
- https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Languages (planning for all 7,117 known living languages, each a wiki school for open teaching and learning)
- https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Subjects (add a new wiki subject; and are there any best STEM CC-4 OCW courses to add?)

to Sri, Nidahas, nidahasvidyalaya, livestream, Peter, mazumdarp, Scott, Marisol

Dear Sri and All,

I've reached out to MOOC-it France as a service partner re collaboration per Open edX process - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/07/sri-lankan-elephant-mooc-it-france-edx.html .

Mooc-It France may have won their recent Open edX course Instructional Design prize in working with key Open edX programmer Ned Batchelder too (speculatively). The video of the Open edX community meeting with Ned in Cambridge, MA, and Yvain in Paris, France, (and in which I participated too) is in the blog link above, so I've met and asked some questions of Yvain Demollière, CEO of MOOCit (see blog post). I hope they will be able to help WUaS get started with making courses in Open edX (from MIT OCW) - as 'service partner' and as part of the Open edX developing process as described on the Open edX web pages.

WUaS seeks at this stage to plan for all 7.5 billion people on planet earth as wiki universitians - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/You_at_World_University - for matriculating students in 200 countries, and wiki universitians among speakers of all 7117 living languages, and even for UBI experiments to distribute a single cryptocurrency backed by most of ~200 countries' central banks, and significantly to alleviate poverty.

WUaS also seeks to develop a major online France World University and School - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/France - in French (offering online Bach., Ph.D., Law, MD and IB high school degrees). And French is an official language in 29 out of ~206 countries in the world (per recent Olympics). And WUaS seeks to develop major online universities in each of these countries in French too. 

Sri Lanka World University and School in Sinhala too would be part of this process, but first Sri Lankan students matriculating this autumn in English would benefit. 

Regards, Scott

Having not yet heard back from MOOC-it France, I followed up with this email to the CEO of edX, Anant Agarwal, a key programmer, Ned Batchelder, and edX partner support:



W, July 15, 2020

Dear Lena, Anant and Ned,

Thanks so much for your support thus far Lena, and nice to meet you Ned, for the second time in the Open edX monthly community meeting recently.

With Lena's guidance I've recently reached out to MOOC-it France on this list - https://open.edx.org/marketplace-category/service-partners/ - as a possible service partner. The email I sent Yvain Demollière and MOOC-it France is below, and in this blog post - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/07/sri-lankan-elephant-mooc-it-france-edx.html - with more questions at the bottom of blog post.

All the best, Scott
