Thank you so much for your response and your time, actually I'm a Moroccan citizen, and Moroccan's dialect native, and my studies was in French.

I'm excited to pursue my studies and yes I'm interested in the provided degree by your university either in chemistry and computer science and if there is any possibility to get benefit from the programming courses in the Edx catalogue i will be grateful.

Best regards

Hi Zalmat and Larry,

Thanks so much for your quick response too. If World Univ & Sch could begin a licensing and accrediting (in Calif.) CC-4 MIT OCW-centric Ph.D. program for a free-to-student's probably 7 year average time to complete Ph.D. online in September 2021, would you be interested? It would be as if matriculating at MIT (or Stanford) itself in Cambridge, Massachusetts, but studying from your home in Morocco? The Ph.D. degree would be in English (with French and Arabic language degrees only beginning some years in the future online). If you were to choose between chemistry - https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/chemistry/ - and computer science - https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-computer-science/ - which subject would you choose? Courses initially in edX would likely be MIT OCW courses into MITx courses - https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/mitx-related-courseware/ - (on the edX platform). Thank you, and thanks for your interest. In an innovative way, some of this degree might develop in a #RealisticVirtualEarthForSTEM - single https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualEarthForSTEM?src=hashtag_click.

Here, too, is a recent Tweet from MIT Chemistry and with regard to their developing relationship with edX:

Last month, General Chemistry I: Atoms, Molecules, and Bonding, also known as Course 5.01x, premiered on
@edXOnline, a global nonprofit that aims to transform traditional education by removing the barriers of cost, location, and access. https://chemistry.mit.edu/chemistry-news

WUaS's is engaging MIT OCW's Creative Commons' 4 licensing re the open access to the MIT OCW courses, and has a developing partnership emerging with edX. Please let me know of your further thoughts, questions, ideas or suggestions in all of these regards, Zalmat. Thank you.

Best regards, Scott

PS Larry Viehland went to MIT as an undergraduate in Chemistry / Physics, and has a Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin Madison in Chemistry (and is the chairman of the Board at WUaS, if you have any specific questions specific to academics; he's also the head of the Academic Accreditation committee).

PPS I've only visited Morocco once, and been to Fez and Marrakech, in addition to Casablanca.

Nice to be in communication.

Thank you scott and larry for your presence and your dedicating time, regarding your question if i have to choose, i will take in advantage the computer science curriculum as I start to put steps over the field and I'm ready to dedicate the required time and effort to take my learning journey to the next level and i would prefer to learn in English besides that if there is the possibility i could take some minors in chemistry.

Best regards and you're welcomed in Morocco all the time.

Dear Zalmat and Larry,

Thank you too, Zalmat! Stay tuned - I'm meeting with an edX representative for WUaS on Monday afternoon, and we'll talk further about the ~2,500 courses - https://www.edx.org - WUaS can offer for free-to-students' (Bachelor) Ph.D. degrees (probably over a 7 year average completion time, and prior to the fundamental research involved in doing a Phd), as, importantly, WUaS licenses and accredits first in California (so it would be as if you were studying toward a Ph.D. from Stanford, brainstorming-wise, since Stanford is accredited by WASC senior, like WUaS is seeking to be), - and regarding a Ph.D. in Computer Science beginning possibly in September 2021.

While WUaS hasn't begun to plan for our PhDs so far, there may well be some coursework, possibly at the Bachelor's Degree level, that it would be helpful for you to take in order to matriculate as a WUAS Ph.D. student, possibly in September 2021, for example. While you would be applying for a Ph.D. candidates' position at WUaS, and for your information, WUaS also seeks eventually to hire Project Heads and University heads in most countries (and we may seek to hire along the lines that Google hires - https://careers.google.com/how-we-hire/) ... and seek matriculating student applications along the lines that Stanford seeks in its application process.

I'd love to visit Fez and Marrakech with you (and Larry too - on Semester at Sea even, post Covid-19 pandemic) at some point, but possibly first in a realistic virtual earth for hiking or walking - https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualEarthForHiking?src=hashtag_click - and in a realistic virtual earth for history - https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualEarthForHistory?src=hashtag_click - where I'm thinking in terms of Google Street View with TIME SLIDER and regarding my ethnographic or anthropological research field site, eg the Harbin Gate House in Google Street View (and the time slider function in its beginning stages is visible in the bottom-most images where you can also begin to "walk") ~ http://tinyurl.com/p62rpcg (~ https://twitter.com/HarbinBook ~ http://bit.ly/HarbinBook). Fez and Marrakech, as UNESCO World Heritage Sites, are also my virtual anthropological field sites, and I've written one chapter about virtual UNESCO WHS - and in Morocco specifically - entitled

"DIGITAL SPATIAL REPRESENTATIONS:

NEW COMMUNICATION PROCESSES AND ‘MIDDLE EASTERN’
UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE SITES ONLINE" (in 2001, in a volume edited by Rami Farouk Daher, from Jordan - https://www.amazon.com/author/scottmacleodworlduniversity)

Would you be interested in studying toward applying to a free-to-students' Ph.D. program at MIT OpenCourseWare-centric wiki World Univ & Sch, beginning with Bachelor-level edX courses, in order to gain the background? Larry and I will begin to think through further about how applying for WUaS Ph.D.s will work, thanks to your potential interest.

What are some of your social media sites - Twitter, LinkedIn or similar if you'd care to share these? Thank you!

Best regards, and looking forward to meeting you online (in virtual Morocco?) at some point, to talk further,

Scott

Thanks so much, Zalmat,

Do you happen to know Brian Seilstad - https://www.facebook.com/brian.seilstad - whom I know from the San Francisco Quaker Meeting, and who lives in Ifrane, Morocco, where he's at the university? In what city do you live? I'll let you know what I learn after talking with the edX representative on Monday - and regarding WUaS planning for emerging Ph.D. degrees, and how you might best develop a background for a CS Phd at WUaS, which is CC-4 MIT OCW-centric and online (as you change academic directions from your undergraduate degree in chemistry) ... Since WUaS is CC-4 MIT OpenCourseWare-centric, WUaS will be free-to-students, and is going to seek reimbursement from all ~200 countries' departments of education, per student per year. So this would be part of our conversation ahead, as we think through how you might best prepare to apply for Ph.D. candidacy at World Univ & Sch. And initially the application process would be similar to the new approach WUaS has outlined fairly recently here - worlduniversityandschool.org - but which will develop further as our website grows.

Regards, Scott

Thank you dear Scott for your effort and your time, actually i don't know Brian Seilstad but I'm glad to get in touch with him and i will send a friend request, about the city where i live it's called "Salè" which is attached to the capital Rabat, they are separated by river called "Abou regrag",the ifrane city is about 192 km from here and it's one of the most beautiful city of Morocco.

I'm looking forward to hear from you in the next coming days about any updates and thank you again for your dedication.

to me

Dear Scott,

Sorry, i couldn't attend the Q&A livestream, i just connected now and i find your email, i hope if the livestream is recorded and i will be grateful if you could provide the link to watch it, thank you very much

My regards

Dear Zalmat,

Thanks so much for your email too. WUaS News and Q&A happens most Mondays at 10 am Pacific Time (from the SF Bay Area). Am not actively recording them currently, and I don't have much to share from today's, but it was great to meet at 1:30 pm with the edX representative for WUaS, in our developing partnership. While edX and WUaS are already emerging partners, for WUaS to get the grades and sign up information of our WUaS matriculated students from edX, WUaS needs to pay edX $10,000 dollars, and for this amount of money, WUaS would need to have 30 matriculating students, if we were already getting reimbursed from nation states' departments of education. We have neither these students yet nor the arrangements with countries' departments of education, - so please stay tuned. I asked our WUaS edX representative about your potential interest in a 7-year (average time to completion) Ph.D. and what courses at edX would be available for both preparing to apply for the WUaS Ph.D. program, as well as studying in the first year of a Ph.D. program at WUaS with edX courses. While edX does go to the Master's Degree level, newly I've found out, the MIT OCW into MITx courses they offer don't seem to be available to WUaS yet. CC-4 MIT OCW lists both undergraduate and graduate courses, and it's from these that WUaS is building. Also the NYU MicroBachelor's course of study and degree aren't available either, and WUaS isn't clear in our planning for a Ph.D. whether this new degree would prepare someone adequately like yourself to enter a CS Ph.D. program at WUaS either.

So if we could get 30 students for our term which begins May 1 - August 30, for a free-to-students' Bachelors degree, and you were to matriculate at WUaS and take edX courses to prepare you for our WUaS Ph.D. program then, it might be possible for you to matriculate for a free-to-students' Ph.D. degree program September 1, 2021. Would you be interested in such an opportunity? How might we best communicate about this further - and also with the Moroccan department of Education at the federal level even, in these regards? WUaS is in the process of developing our website and our Learning Management System for all of this, and this would inform, too, how your Ph.D. degree program would develop, after you completed the courses helpful for you to get into a Ph.D. program in CS at WUaS. Other possibilities exist in all of this so please let me know what you think, some of thoughts and questions in all of these regards.

Thank you, and my regards, Scott

to me

Dear Scott,

Thank you for your efforts and commitments to put this great job into existence, I'm interested and i will be interested until this happens and you have my support in all times, just having the will to provide such an opportunity for students who could not support the cost of universities prove a great and noble intents in the background, i have once saw a platform called "Modern States Education Alliance" i think it's dedicated for American students i'm not really sure, it's provide a freshman year online formed by a businessman i forgot his name but it has also partnership with edx and some American universities , maybe their experience could help, i hope your efforts will get rewarded soon and reach the objectives sited and we could also be part of your great project, a big thanks with my regards

Dear Zalmat,

Thank you for your email. Would you like to meet in the WUaS News and Q&A video conference this upcoming week?

Am curious

about your interest in the following:

PhD ?

MIT centric?

Free to students'?

Online (from home in Morocco)?

How did you hear about World Univ & Sch?

Switching from chemistry to CS?

Thank you.

Best regards, Scott

Thank you as well dear Scott, and it will be my pleasure to attend the next coming meeting, i will try to find a way to be up in the scheduled time, i find WUAS coincidentally through freedom college in the period of lockdown where i got benefit of some edx coupons which i will be thankful for in my whole life.

My regards

Thank you too Zalmat! (and hello Rifai in Sri Lanka!),

Zalmat, 10 am Pacific Time should be 6 pm Morocco time on Monday, Dec 21st.

Zalmat, and great, Rifai at Freedom College is also the head of WUaS Sri Lanka, coincidentally. And you could become head of Morocco World Univ & Sch, which seeks to become a major online university, in Moroccan dialect/Arabic and French too, offering free-to-students' Bachelor, Ph.D., Law, MD and IB high school degrees with time. You'll find both the beginnings of Sri Lanka World Univ & Sch in the Sinhala Language in GOOGLE SITES for a smartphone, as well as the wiki university / school for it here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/06/bluethroat-wuas-news-livestream-q-sri.html - not yet in the Moroccan-dialect or in French for Moroccans.

This Saturday, 12/19/20, at 9am Pacific Time which I think is 5pm in Morocco (but please check) is the open WUaS Monthly Business Meeting (conducted loosely in the manner of Friends/Quaker), and an hour-long only. I'll send you the Google Meet video conference link soon, and the Agenda and News probably later today.

Are you most interested in a free-to-students' MIT OCW-centric Ph.D. candidacy in Computer Science beginning in September 2021, with a likely 7 year average time to completion at first? Perhaps you could help develop a realistic virtual earth for chemistry in these regards, and in French and Arabic even in part, since your undergraduate degree was in chemistry - https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualEarthForSTEM?src=hashtag_click.

My regards

Imad, so great! ...

See you on Saturday, and please keep your ears open for any classmates or alumni of your college/university's undergraduate chemistry (or other) degree program who might wish to apply for a Ph.D. candidate's position at CC-4 MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch as well. World Univ & Sch could begin to plan much better than now as we learn of prospective applicants (and check out again worlduniversityandschool.org re approach to applying for the undergraduate degree, since it will be similar for the Ph.D., and in conversation with MIT's application process eventually probably). In some ways, WUaS is seeking students who are at the top of their graduating class, or otherwise creatively smart, to apply - from any academic discipline. As we've emailed about before, it may be helpful if you decide to apply for this Ph.D. program if you take some courses that would help prepare you for entering the Ph.D. program especially, which we can talk further about with time. Thank you so much.

edX

Hello Scott,

I hope my note finds you well. As we approach the new year, I was curious if we can arrange a time next week to discuss your progress with the initiative and ensure that we are on the same page with the direction of the partnership.

Regarding access to learners sign-ups and grades, this takes place on the admin dashboard. Accessing learner data requires a signed agreement with edX and prepaid access to courses. I have included a link below for what the Admin Dashboard looks like for your review.

Thanks again and feel free to select a time to meet here:30 Minute Call with Matthew Gusching from edX.

Hi Matthew,

Thanks for reaching out, and I hope this email finds you well.

Sounds good. Where please is the link to the Admin Dashboard - I don't see it in your email.

I'm also sharing with you an email exchange I just now engaged in with a new prospective student, and Larry Viehland, regarding his inquiry into taking edX courses. Perhaps we could talk about this email too, when we video chat. Thank you. As WUaS builds out our Bachelor, Ph.D., Law, and MD degrees, and IB high school diplomas, in all ~200 countries, and in their official and main languages - and plans for all speakers of all 200 countries' main and official languages, each a Wikidata Q-tiem #, then also speakers of all 7,117 known living languages - and then brainstorming-wise for all 7.8 billion people on the planet - https://worlduniversityandschooldatabase.wiki.opencura.com/wiki/Item:Q4 - https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2020/12/nov-21-2020-minutes-for-world.html ... - I can see how a 7 year average time to finish a Ph.D. at WUaS might not be in Zalmat's interests, at this time. Let's keep in touch about this as well. I'll let you know if and how Zalmat replies in our meeting. Thank you.

Dear Larry,

I've just scheduled a meeting with Matthew at edX on Monday afternoon in MIT Zoom, and he's also sent me the template for the emerging edX dashboard, regarding "learners' sign-ups and grades." This is the information we've been asking for, and it looks like a good starting point - since WUaS could potentially interoperate our own Wikidata Q-item #s or WUaS Q-item PIN #s for 7.8 billion people, on our end, emerging, with this (and even for Stanford 'Mine Pi' cryptocurrency brainstorming-wise).

What other information might WUaS want from such an edX "learners' sign-ups and grades" ' information source, - and compared with our own hypothetical dashboard which we might create for students studying MIT OCW courses into our own Learning Management System, such as in G Suite for Education?

What do you think of this edX Dashboard?

Sincerely, Scott

Please see the zoom information below.

Hi Terri,

Thanks for your great moderation of the ISSIP conference. Regarding workcraft (Job crafting is a means of describing the ways in which employees utilize opportunities to customize their jobs by actively changing their tasks and interactions with others at. work. Those who engage in these actions are called job crafters, and research suggests they can. - https://positiveorgs.bus.umich.edu/wp-content/uploads/What-is-Job-Crafting-and-Why-Does-it-Matter1.pdf) .

Am curious whether Google kind of front-ends work crafting in their hiring process regarding this questions -

What is something you learned that made everything that came after easier?
Have more of your achievements come as a result of solitary effort or teamwork?
What do you enjoy more, solving problems or pushing the discussion forward?
What is the most rewarding job you've ever had? Why?
Describe the best team you ever worked with. What made that experience stand out?

which leads to a series of other questions in the career-hiring process at Google that might further inform their work crafting from the beginning (and given too that Google is kind of an AI company per Peter Norvig) ...

and re what I asked in chat:

"Am an applicator of Google - invite them to ISSIP (brainstorming-wise)? - I looked up their hiring practices - https://careers.google.com/how-we-hire/ - and am wondering how T-shaped approaches might interoperate. How might these approaches to careers at Google interface with T-shaped thinking re ISSIP? Thanks!"

Thoughts, ideas, questions, suggestions?

(MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch may well engage these Google practices, in 200 countries, and in 7,117 known living languages, when we begin to hire). Thank you!

Am an appreciator of Google - invite them to ISSIP (brainstorming-wise)? - I looked up their hiring practices - https://careers.google.com/how-we-hire/ - and am wondering how T-shaped approaches, job-crafting, and service design, might interoperate in regards to Google's career hiring practices.
