begin developing a realistic virtual earth for aging reversal in the Canyon 94516 shop at 670 Ridgecrest Rd on M Sep 1, 2025, would we begin with getting - in collaboration with Kaiser Permanente - smart screen panels for 5 sides of a room and a console like this

... and to create a WUaS Hospital Room prototype, with a focus too on developing Pegman in Street View, as Avatar Agent Electronic Health Records at the street view, cell view and molecule view levels and AI libraries of these too,
and by first putting in some walls like at the 2:10 minute marker here into the shop -

... and would you also come into conversation in all of this with MIT, Harvard, Stanford, UCSF coders + as this room develops ... I think a Realistic Virtual Earth for Aging Reversal in a WUaS Hospital room prototype could garner the involvement of some of the greatest computer scientists and aging reversal medical doctor specialists in the world? (And all beginning Monday 9/1/25 with US federal and state of California law working effectively together in new ways).
Hugs, Scott

And could we develop this WUaS Academic Medical Center Realistic Virtual Earth for Aging Reversal further for a single genetic drug therapy or vaccine end product initially as well?




Dear Byron & Cindy (Hann MDs), Ed (Smyth MD, Kaiser Permanente NorCal), Drs., Pin/Sid (Mazumdar HHS), Peter (Norvig, Google AI), George (Church, Harvard Med Sch), US Senator Alex Padilla from CA,  (John Tadler, Allegheny County Police Lt. in Pgh, and re FBI workshop in 2013), US Senator from MA and former Harvard Law Professor Elizabeth Warren, Friends/Quakers, UUs, Yogis, scientists, ecologists & evolutionary biologists, All, 

How are you? Great to see you, Byron, when I returned from Massachusetts recently. If we could begin developing a realistic virtual earth for aging reversal in the Canyon 94516 shop at 670 Ridgecrest Rd on M Sep 1, 2025, would we begin with getting - in collaboration with Kaiser Permanente - smart screen panels for 5 sides of a room and a console like this

How did MIT OCW-centric wiki World University and School as a global university develop?


How did MIT OCW-centric wiki World University and School as a global university develop and by 'harvesting' these blogs - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/global%20university and https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/search/label/global%20university - in their global university labels?





World University and School (WUaS) developed as a free, wiki-based, and MIT OpenCourseWare (OCW)-centric online university through the vision of founder Scott MacLeod. The blogs you cite served as a public, long-running diary for its development, articulating and detailing the concepts that would be "harvested" and formalized into the wiki structure.
 
Here is a breakdown of its development:

1. The founding vision

A "Wikipedia for university education": The project was founded by anthropologist Scott MacLeod with the core concept of building a university based on the Wikipedia model. It aims to offer free online degrees in all major world languages, with an emphasis on using Creative Commons-licensed open educational resources (OER).

MIT OCW as a central resource: MIT's OpenCourseWare, a free online publication of thousands of MIT courses, serves as a central pillar of the WUaS curriculum. Other open resources, such as Yale's Open Yale Courses (OYC), were also integrated.


2. Development via blogs

The blogs were used as a public forum to document the project's evolution, with posts tagged with "global university" detailing the ongoing development.

Brainstorming and ideation: The blog posts documented the evolving ideas and philosophies behind WUaS. The "harvesting" of these blogs involved taking the concepts discussed in these posts and incorporating them into the wiki's structure and policies.

Documentation and project tracking: The blogs served as a chronological record of the project's growth, including its legal formation as a nonprofit in California in 2010 and gaining 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status.

Building a community: The blogs helped engage a community around the project by publicly discussing its direction and progress. This fostered early collaboration and interest in the "learning as conversation" model.


3. "Harvesting" content for the wiki

The concept of "harvesting" describes the process of formalizing the ideas from the blogs into the more structured, permanent wiki format.

Transition from blog to wiki: While the blogs were a stream-of-consciousness record, the wiki required a more organized and deliberate structure. Key ideas discussed on the blogs, such as the initial use of MIT and Yale course materials, were formalized into wiki pages defining the curriculum.

Organizing course materials: The wiki now organizes and directs users to openly licensed course materials from major universities, effectively "harvesting" and curating these resources for a global audience.

Developing a multilingual platform: The blog documented MacLeod's ambition for WUaS to be available in every living language. The wiki has been built with this goal, creating pages that can be developed in different languages, though development is still ongoing


Elaborate on how the 'global university' blog tag informed WUaS's structure

What are the main challenges WUaS faces in offering free online degrees?

What's the significance of 'learning as conversation' in the WUaS model?
