Hi ! Thanks. It is a pleasure to be with the WUaS team.

Congratulations ! It would be better if we can have a page for matriculated students and their testimonials.

Hi Sri Lanka WUaS aka Rifai, Andrzej, MariuszS, Petros, WUaS family, Rohit, Nidahas, nidahasvidyalaya, WUaS Board, Peter, mazumdarp, Marisol, Shahrzad, Shahbaz, Tanya, All,


Thanks again so much for your generative email, and good ideas, Rifai. With regards to possible WUaS matriculated student testimonials (eg https://orc.mit.edu/admissions/student-testimonial), it could be good to plan for in the future - and even possibly in the WUaS Applying-to-College process from here - worlduniversityandschool.org. To date, when Shahbaz was trying to take the edX courses this autumn 2020 - and I'm so glad WUaS is in the process of partnering with edX - he could only really audit the edX courses, and not really study them 'from the inside,' ie for learning the course material for grades. And similarly with Tanya, she needs to take a "Finance" course (and some other courses to graduate with a free Bachelor's degree, I think), probably courses from edX, - and our WUaS students still can't take the edX courses 'from the inside,' that is for grades, etc. Part of the issue too is that licensing and accrediting in the state of California is evolving, I hypothesize, in the information age (eg with BPPE licensing - https://twitter.com/CaBPPE and WASC senior accreditation - https://twitter.com/wascsenior). To get ONLINE licensing and accreditation 'right,' - beyond the amazing ~2400 MIT OpenCourseWare courses, with their potential to migrate into MITx courses on the edX platform - issues like identity verification from all ~200 countries (beyond government IDs in photos), and language proficiency, (possibly some kind of required entrance exam as starting point), and course testing probably, for example, all have to be addressed - and edX (founded by MIT & Harvard in Cambridge - and a platform for about 150 universities and companies too) isn't 'there' yet either, ie meeting the standards of CA's BPPE and WASC Senior, for ex. So, as you may have read also in the open WUaS ANNUAL MEETING Minutes - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/12/indiana-bat.html (see Minute 0 ... ) - WUaS needs (150 matriculating students and) $101,000 US dollars, I think, to finalize partnering with edX and inter-operate our developing WUaS platform thanks to a new installation of WUaS Wikibase /Wikidata in opencura, and for our 3rd matriculating undergraduate class - eg see these from the new WUaS Opencura Wikibase - 


- with edX's Dashboard (for grades and sign ins), potentially beginning for WUaS on May 1, 2021. It's taking a while to develop this partnership with edX too, even as edX iterating on courses they have available, - and how, for example, again WUaS can get our WUaS students' sign-ins and grades from (WUaS students') edX courses, etc.

Thanks so much to Houcemeddine (above) in Tunisia for installing WUaS Wikibase !  Houcemeddine, can we migrate WUaS Miraheze MediaWiki to WUaS OpenCura WikiBase together sometime, please, and regarding what follows ... ?

In the meantime, our WUaS other wing (to complement the free-to-students' accrediting degrees' wing) is open for free people-to-people open teaching and learning - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Subjects (but this Wiki may also be in transition, and is something WUaS may seek to move to WUaS Opencura too) - but only in English so far, and not yet interoperable with a WUaS Wikibase installation for this WUaS Miraheze wiki (like the new WUaS Wikibase in Opencura). And WUaS hasn't really developed Wiki communities yet - like in Wikipedia's nearly 300 languages - in English. It will help for this when WUaS can begin to hire Wiki developers (like Wikipedia has), and thus also develop parallel volunteer communities of Wiki editors, first in ~300 languages, and then in all 7,117 known living languages, so in about 6,800 more languages! 

So, WUaS team, and Sri Lanka WUaS, let's wait to see what Tanya, for example, does with the edX courses at WUaS as our WUaS-edX partnership develops, and WUaS can pay edX, - and the edX courses become take-able for credit (and re even licensing and accreditation), not just audit-able, for her free-to-student's Bachelor's degree.

And thanks so much to Imad Zalmat in Morocco for your interest in a WUaS MIT OCW-centric PhD beginning in 2021 as well - CA's BPPE said in Feb 2019 that they can license PhD degrees! 

And the further development of the WUaS platform - worlduniversityandschool.org - now with WUaS Wikibase and take-able edX courses will open the way for student learning, and success (and testimonials!:)

Next open WUaS News and Q&A for conversation meet tomorrow, Monday, at 10 am Pacific Time in Google Meet here - meet.google.com/nha-qeuf-nxn (gmail address needed)! 

WUaS News and Q&A M 12/28/20 10a PT meet.google.com/nha-qeuf-nxn (gmail address needed)! i) FREE-to-students' OCW-centric Bachelor's degrees in May '21 ii) Planning for online free-to-students' WUaS PhDs, To join talk, email info@ worlduniversityandschool.org @WUaSPress @WorldUnivAndSch ~

Thank you, Sri Lanka WUaS!, - and the Universitian team!
