Dear Chinmay, Prasanth, Imad, Alvian, Universitians All,

The
Open WUaS News and Q&A - M 7/12/21 1pm Eastern Time, 1800 UTC
meet.google.com/csp-szfv-xdw A) #WUaSFreeToStudents' online #WUaSPhDdegrees & 4-year #WUaSBachelorDegrees & w http://OCW.mit.edu B) 7,139 known living languages as #WikiSchools for open Teaching/Learning for #FreeUniversalEducation focus

Interesting also to read MIT professor about Heather Paxson's view of 2U acquiring edX, and Harvard and MIT getting $800 million for this:

Heather Paxson, MIT professor of Anthropology (and of Quaker background) could be an interesting further contact for World Univ & Sch and our plans for creating careers, and here she just mentions edX tanking (with which WUaS is no longer partnering, I'm glad write) -

PS
Here's the video from the (open) July 10, 2021 Bay Area Stammtisch video recording - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1mavHIoDRU-oIQWEWCNEEsTj0QH8pRu5A/view - and it's a generative conversation!

Some further resources relating to this conversation about where World Univ & Sch seeks to head with teaching regarding MIT OCW courses - 

1
Searched on "MIT OCW teaching seminar," and found - 



Video result for MIT OCW teaching seminar (52:58)
HHMI Education Group Seminar: Flipping the Dice
YouTube · MIT OpenCourseWare
Dec 22, 2014

Could WUaS create a course or share resources that could be used to instruct for example 10 German post docs in how to teach a flourishing SEMINAR newly, and, for example, to 100 German undergraduates and PhD students, and so they could begin teaching in this way to CC-4 MIT OCW courses - https://ocw.mit.edu/ AND - https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/translated-courses/ - starting in January 2022, and here in these WUaS wiki subjects in particular -  

Conference_Method_of_Teaching_and_Learning - 

Assessment_and_Grading_at_WUaS_as_Part_of_Conversation_in_Learning - 

(And Fritz and I began our Bay Area Stammtisch conversation today talking about emotional intelligence and grading, which WUaS hopes to facilitate a conversation about in this wiki subject, and eventually in 200 countries and in their main languages).

A good course platform for both asynchronous seminar, and virtual reality with avatar bots - 

Is this JuryX, HarvardX, edX course from Charlie Nesson a helpful course platform approach, and for teaching the seminar method, even in conjunction with avatar bots, in some of the VR simulations - 
https://www.edx.org/course/juryx-deliberations-for-social-change ?



4
And here's a little further information about edX being acquired by 2U, and Harvard and MIT getting $800 million dollars for edX - 

As
@edXOnline
 looks to its next phase of growth and impact, joining forces with
@2UInc
 marks a major milestone in our evolution. https://press.edx.org/2u-inc.-and-edx-to-join-together-in-industry-redefining-combination

https://twitter.com/agarwaledu/status/1409840804957409285?s=20

"2U to acquire substantially all edX assets, including edX brand, website, and marketplace"

"edX offers over 3,000 online programs, including a substantial majority of courses with a free/audit track, Masters and doctorate degrees, Professional Certificates, and MicroBachelors® programs and MicroMasters® programs." 

 ... with more here including a letter from the President of MIT - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/06/piping-plover-san-francisco-5-yrs-ago.html ... 

There will be no Bay Area Stammtisch that I'll facilitate on 7/17/21, since I'll be traveling (but would you like to facilitate a Bay Area Stammtisch, Fritz, Simone, Peter or anyone)? The next Bay Area Stammtisch will meet on July 24, 2021 - meet.google.com/pwa-jymy-ipk 

Cheers, 
Scott
