Peter, I am wondering if I should be concerned with this notice from Google. I'm assuming that if someone in the Indonesian language adds my email address as their back up, that they won't be able to use the backup email, because they don't have the password to it. What else could this email be about, I wonder? I'm going to ignore this unless you or Google suggest otherwise. I hope this finds you well. How are you doing?

I heard the very impressive 

Sal Khan 

(https://www.khanacademy.org)


- here today at - 

~ MIT Solve ~

https://solve.mit.edu/events/solve-challenge-finals-2020


and he mentioned Khan Academy's amazing mission - 

'free world class education for anyone anywhere' 

Sal reports many learners using Khan Academy too ... and as an entrepreneur especially.

https://solve.mit.edu/events/solve-challenge-finals-2020

How many people are using WUaS? ... am seeking for many in collaborating with edX Online Campus beginning this January ... 

(Is Khan Academy too testing oriented? ... re the aversive experience of testing in today's online education, and even regarding BF Skinner's animal behaviorism, and re schedules of reinforcement. Who knows re engagement of students toward free-to-students' online degrees?, - and in thinking about World Univ and Sch). 


* * 

World Univ & Sch's mission is as broad, - planning to code for 7.8 billion people on planet - at You at WUaS  - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/You_at_World_University ... 

and adds 

CC-4 MIT OCW-centricity in its 4 current languages, for free to students' online Bachelor, Ph.D., Law, MD, and IB high school degrees, 

wiki schools in all 7,117 known living languages, for open teaching and learning, 

so anticipates wiki teachers and learners among all 7.8 billion people

And you'll find World Univ & Sch's mission here - 

https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Foundation


Mission:

World University and School's mission is free education, courses, and degrees in all known languages. World University and School (http://worlduniversityandschool.org - like Wikipedia with best CC-4 OpenCourseWare) seeks also to facilitate all levels of teaching and learning through open, editable wikis. WUaS plans to accredit at the university and high school levels to offer online degrees and diplomas in all countries' main languages. WUaS’s wiki will involve open and editable teaching and learning but also non-editable courses prepared under a Creative Commons’ license. WUaS will facilitate the use of free CC courses as credits toward degrees. Due to the rapid spread of broadband worldwide, WUaS plans to make this accessible to underserved parts of the world and to poor people everywhere. WUaS will explore the possibility of using universal translators to extend the project automatically to any language with time.

Am very glad to announce that WUaS is proceeding with the next steps in partnering with edX Online Campus for January 2021 - see the email from Matthew at edX in the Minutes above. This should allow you to take VERIFIED courses, Shahbaz - and toward a 4 year free-to-students' Bachelor degree. 

And my 'Society and Information Technology' course - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/InfoTechNetworkSocGlobalUniv.html - begins in mid-October, Shahbaz and Rohit - 8:30 pm India Time on Tuesdays and Fridays probably - in group video. Please join this if you can, and in anticipating January's edX courses at WUaS. 

If any of you would like to join today's conversation in Jitsi video conferencing, streaming to Youtube Livestream (and recorded there too), please let me know. (Shahbaz, and Rohit, meeting today would be a good preamble to "Society and Information Technology" course, but I realize it may already be too late at night in India).

What I've been watching

Over the past week, I have watched the six-part HBO miniseries The Plot Against America, which came out in March. It is based on the 2004 Philip Roth novel of the same title and tells an alternative history in which FDR is defeated in 1940 by the fascist-sympathizing Charles Lindbergh through the eyes of a Jewish family living in Newark, NJ. Compelling story, well acted. It is the best piece of television I have seen in years.
