Klamath National Forest: Signing the edX-WUaS partnering documents * This is a momentous opportunity for CC-4 MIT OCW-centric wiki World University and School * And could we get some WUaS courses for credit, with grades automatically entered to - https:/
Scott MacLeod <sgkmacleod@worlduniversityandschool.org>Sat, Mar 20, 12:51 PM (6 days ago)



I hope this email finds you well. And thanks for your email yesterday. One item that emerged from WUaS Monthly Business Meeting this morning has to do with when WUaS can remunerate edX (re the edX integration team and WUaS in G Suite for Education), and regarding building out WUaS in the WUaS G Suite for Education platform (or similar). When might we best do this? Could we plan to sign the edX-WUaS partnering documents at this time? And could we get some WUaS courses for credit, with grades automatically entered to - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/You_at_World_University - and up and running for May 1, 2021 possibly?
In thinking today in WUaS MBM further about WUaS registration / application in WUaS G-Suite for Education, I think WUaS would seek to build on this page - https://authn.edx.org/register - but with prospective students writing in their passport name written in (In ENGLISH - since we have two wiki-Universitians having tried to register in English from Australia, and in Russian, from who knows where), probably in the Full Name field ... and including, above this, something like "Register for Free 4-year Bachelor degrees, and Free PhDs" - followed on the next pages with further related WUAS degree program information (like which major / program, transcripts, stated commitment to 4 years, agreeing to honor code, to countries' laws and legal codes, first year courses) ... and with the passport name possibly dovetailing even with the Stanford Mine Pi registration process, so that our registering students might even begin to get free money in the WUaS signing-on process.
WUaS is looking forward to building out our own registration links, and we're still aiming for 2 degrees in the registration process - Bachelor and PhD - with a Master's 'exit strategy,' but are not planning at this stage to offer only a Master's degree. Seeking PhD students, potentially taking 5 years avg time to completion.
When please might WUaS compensate edX to get this process going? Thank you.
Sincerely, Scott

Hi Matthew, (& Larry),
Am just getting ready to email out the WUaS Agenda & News for Monthly Business Meeting this week. Where do we stand with getting a WUaS edX student registration link, for both Ph.D. and Bachelor degree programs, for students beginning prepatorily as soon as May 1, 2021?
WUaS just submitted yesterday (by 11:59 pm March 16, 2021) an ISSIP Award application from ISSIP - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/03/tongass-national-forest-noteworthy.html - which is an organization backed by IBM, Cisco, and Hewlett Packard, and many smaller organizations (and which was founded in part by Jim Spohrer, a MIT alumnus in physics from the early the 1970s).
WUaS would be interested, please, in sending out such a WUaS edX student registration link either in the WUaS Agenda & News, or with the WUaS Minutes after the open hour-long WUaS Monthly Business Meeting on Saturday, 3/20/21. Thank you!
Sincerely, Scott

Hello Scott,
Thank you for your email and insights. I can prepare partnership agreement documents for your review. After they have been received, we can coordinate a time to discuss your feedback for the partnership language and plan the next steps with the solutions architect team for what integration tools we can incorporate into the WUaS G-Suite for Education.
As always, please feel free to schedule time with my directly using my calendar link in my signature.
Best regards,
Matthew

Dear Matthew (and Larry),
Thanks so much for your email saying "I can prepare partnership agreement documents for your review. After they have been received, we can coordinate a time to discuss your feedback for the partnership language and plan the next steps with the solutions architect team for what integration tools we can incorporate into the WUaS G-Suite for Education." This is a momentous opportunity for CC-4 MIT OCW-centric wiki World University and School.
I'm glad too to have received this morning an "ISSIP Awards Receipt Notification WUaS March 26 2021," which I'm attaching to this email. That said, I reached out to ISSIP founders, and similar, this morning with the following:
"Dear Larry, Jim, Yassi, Jane, ISSIP awards,
I'm glad to write that CC-4 MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch just received the "attached letter confirming receipt of [WUaS's] submission" for an ISSIP Award.
I'm also glad to write that edX just yesterday afternoon sent WUaS an email that edX can send WUaS the edX-WUaS partnering documents now, which is a momentous next step for WUaS. This would involve edX integrating their edX dashboard in WUaS G-Suite for Education, for matriculating students, grades, transcripts, etc. (and potentially, in the process, planning, brainstorming-wise, to code for all 7.8 billion people on the planet as wiki teachers and learners in all 7,139 known living languages, and 200 nation states, at WUaS). But this would also involve WUaS remunerating edX $50,000 which WUaS does not have at this time. So until WUaS can obtain the $50,000, it doesn't seem feasible for WUaS to sign these edX-WUaS partnering documents, which would allow us to begin to matriculate both WUaS PhD (~5 year?) and Bachelor degree (4 year) students as early as May 1, 2021, and on September 1, for online free-to-students' CC-4 OCW-centric degrees.
Here again is the WUaS ISSIP Award application - https://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2021/03/noteworthy-innovations-in-2020-for.html -
https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/03/tongass-national-forest-noteworthy.html
Please let WUaS know if you can think of any way for WUaS to obtain the $50,000 dollars to pay edX to begin this edX dashboard integration into WUaS G-Suite for Education. Thank you very much.
Sincerely, Scott

And I've heard back from MIT Alumnus, and co-founder of ISSIP, just now, that:
"Hi Scott,ISSIP is a poor non-profit, so cannot help with the $50K.-Jim Spohrer"
So I'm not clear where WUaS will obtain the 50,000 dollars you've mentioned, since WUaS is also a poor non-profit, and doesn't have whatsoever $50K.
As you may have read, WUaS is interested in even beginning to matriculate PhD and Bachelor degree students for preliminary coursework (will WUaS students' 'course in' initially to a degree program, in part, I wonder?) with edX on May 1, 2021, and would be very interested in reading and potentially signing the edX-WUaS partnering documents, but WUaS doesn't have the anywhere near the 50K. How best for edX to begin integrating the edX dashboard into WUaS G-Suite for Education in a timely manner? WUaS is seeking to create a launch event with a professional web site too well before May 1, 2021. What would you suggest please? Thank you for your email and potentially for these partnering documents.
Sincerely, Scott

Hello Scott,
Thank you for forwarding the email with ISSIP with context around the WUaS application. For your knowledge, the agreement with edX will detail three main categories: 1. Billing information, 2. Integration and Access Configuration 3. Learner data privacy. Our agreements are designed to be valid for only a period of time, therefore I'm curious when you will learn more regarding funding from the ISSIP? I can time the work our teams internally have for preparing the agreement to when you expect the agreement to be able to be signed.
Best regards,
Matthew

Dear Matthew (and Larry),
I hope this email finds you well. And again, thanks so much for your email saying "I can prepare partnership agreement documents for your review. After they have been received, we can coordinate a time to discuss your feedback for the partnership language and plan the next steps with the solutions architect team for what integration tools we can incorporate into the WUaS G-Suite for Education." This is a momentous opportunity for CC-4 MIT OCW-centric wiki World University and School, planned in all ~200 countries and in their main language for free-to-students' Bachelor, PhD, (Law, MD and IB high school degrees).
Having said that, and heard back again from ISSIP co-founder Jim Spohrer (and MIT alumnus in physics, as well as having a Yale PhD in CS), the good news is that WUaS has received a receipt from ISSIP which says we applied for an ISSIP Innovation Award (but which award didn't say it involved money, too); the bad news is that ISSIP doesn't have the money anyway, and as Jim observes below, it's hard for ISSIP to raise 50k for WUaS in today's climate, and that he thinks that "The individual companies [in ISSIP] would not donate or invest it either for this purpose."
So, how best now to integrate the edX dashboard into WUaS G-Suite for Education (planning for 200 countries, and even speakers of 7.139 languages, and 7.8 billion people on the planet as wiki teachers / learners), so WUaS can get the reimbursement mechanism there from ~200 nation states working, and for WUaS to begin to offer a few preliminary (even) PhD and Bachelor-degree edX courses as early as May 1, 2021, I'm wondering? And how best also to proceed with the edX-WUaS partnering documents' signing - for a number of other important reasons? While ISSIP seemed like one possibility for WUaS to get $50,000 from, since its members are both very large companies, and some smaller organizations, WUaS doesn't have any other options at this point, from which to raise the money, - partly because WUaS doesn't have a track record thus far in raising monies, having been a very poor nonprofit organization for around 14 years now. With 4 prospective PhD applicants / candidates, and I'd think a mass of Bachelor degree applicants or candidates for free-to-students' CC-4 MIT OCW-centric and initially edX-based degrees, beginning even as early as this May, how best to proceed? Thank you.
All the best, Scott

Hi Jim,
Thanks so much for your subsequent email - and its informative substance. WUaS will explore further how to begin to develop our edX-WUaS partnership, and for edX to begin to integrate their edX Dashboard in WUaS G-Suite for Education.
Thank you, Scott
Hi Scott,
No thoughts unfortunately.
Hard to raise $50K for WUaS in the current pandemic climate especially.
ISSIP doesn't have it for sure.
The individual companies would not donate or invest it either for this purpose, in my opinion.

Thank you for your email.
World Univ & Sch has a main all-languages' focus so the Cameroonian languages you know are great in these regards. Glad too you write English well and have decent access to computers, and the Internet.
I'd like to introduce you to Imad and Larry. Imad is a prospective PhD student this autumn 2021 and also lives in western Africa (Morocco) and Larry is the Chief Academic Officer at WUAS and a MIT Alumnus. AURELIEN is a prospective PhD student in autumn 2023, and lives in Cameroon, central Africa, which is just coming out of a civil war. AURELIEN may also help to develop wiki Cameroon World Univ & Sch - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Cameroon - in all the Cameroonian languages he knows, as well as reach out to other Cameroonian wiki-teachers and learners in these regards, I think, & n'est-ce pas? :)
Just found this regarding Lego robotics in Cameroon -
https://twitter.com/icistem/status/1344358197541404673?s=19. Where do you live in Cameroon - anywhere near Buea?

Let's wait until 2023 when the CC-4 MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch platform (partly on Google's G Suite for Education) will have developed much further via edX, and when (after completing your Bachelor's degree) you can apply to WUaS for free-to-students' PhD degrees with a Master's degree exit possibility along the same lines. WUaS is going to seek reimbursement from Countries' governments' departments of education (nation state, state, and county - potentially for Lego Robotics' kits too even) per student per year - particularly for countries' 'Olympic' academic students (like applying to and getting into MIT), where WUaS is seeking, like the Olympics (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cameroon_at_the_2016_Summer_Olympics), to offer higher education to all ~200 countries in the world.
Cameroon's situation may be further improved by then as well. In the meantime, feel free to wiki-teach to Cameroon WUaS - - (eg by teaching about something you enjoy to video like Youtube).

Thank you for your feedback. I can fluently express myself in English, French, Pidgin(Broken Africaans), Mbouda and Bakweri. Here in Cameroon, the main official Languages are English and French. I will gladly spearhead the creation of WUaS in Cameroon as many people are eager to acquire degrees but lack the means, especially after these years of crises.Robotics has played a vital role here in its own right. For instance, there is an automated teller machine (ATM) which has just been invented and it uses bitcoins instead of the hard currency. It has also helped in the field of telecommunication and many other domains. However, alot still has to be done which is the main reason why I will like to advocate for free education in Cameroon so that a lot of people who do not have access to education will have it and this will make the population more productive.Mondays here are generally locked down so I doubt if I will be able to attend Monday meetings but you can always give me the link to review it and whenever this changes, I will not hesitate to let you know.Best Regards.

Thank you for your feedback.
I can fluently express myself in English, French, Pidgin(Broken Africaans), Mbouda and Bakweri.
Here in Cameroon, the main official Languages are English and French. I will gladly spearhead the creation of WUaS in Cameroon as many people are eager to acquire degrees but lack the means, especially after these years of crises.
Robotics has played a vital role here in its own right. For instance, there is an automated teller machine (ATM) which has just been invented and it uses bitcoins instead of the hard currency. It has also helped in the field of telecommunication and many other domains. However, alot still has to be done which is the main reason why I will like to advocate for free education in Cameroon so that a lot of people who do not have access to education will have it and this will make the population more productive.
Mondays here are generally locked down so I doubt if I will be able to attend Monday meetings but you can always give me the link to review it and whenever this changes, I will not hesitate to let you know.

Hi Prasanth & Chinmay (in India), Imad (in Morocco), Aviv (in Indonesia) and Universitians, All,
Here's the "Upcoming PhD Programs at World Univ & Sch" video from today (which PhD program I hope could begin as early as May 1, 2021 with your taking some preliminary edX courses, as WUaS-edX partnering continues - WUaS News and Q&A on M 3/22/21https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ueA1yAuluixQ0edXGD5vKoltKSkKJyqk/view
What fields would you like to study for your PhDs in at this point? Aviv and Chinmay, in particular, - what majors might you like to explore doing your PhDs in? (Am I recalling correctly, Prasanth and Imad, that you are interested in cognitive science (changing from electronics and electrical engineering - in English and Tamil - for your Bachelor degree), and computer science (changing from chemistry - in French - for your Bachelor degree), respectively?). Please let me know, so that I can communicate further with edX as WUaS begins to plan for the first two years of a PhD program taking edX courses and starting September 1, 2021.
I hope registration / applying to WUaS for PhD will initially be as easy as a variation on this edX registration page - https://authn.edx.org/register - and with the transcripts etc. some of you have sent me at WUaS being added in subsequent registration pages. And World Univ & Sch may seek to explore completion of PhDs in 5 years (rather than in 7, as I've been saying), but this is partly up to the research you would be doing, and your focusing throughout.
Please let friends and other prospective students know of this upcoming online CC-4 MIT OCW-centric free-to-students' PhD opportunity - as well as others know about the upcoming free-to-students' edX-centric Bachelor degrees (with everyone studying from home).
Best regards, ScottAgenda & News for open WUaS Monthly Business Meeting on 3/20/21 - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2021/03/broadleaf-cattail-wuas-agenda-news-for.html - with Minutes to come.

Larry, All, the population of the Philippines re a single worldwide cryptocurrency and even UBI experiments to alleviate poverty - perhaps in collaboration with Stanford Mine Pi or similar - is 108.1 million (2019) and 3 times the 30-35 million I guestimated in MBM.

Zebrafish: CalTech Hindsight 2020 - Thanks for your great "Jan Huisken, Morgridge Institute for Research" presentation yesterday - "Hindsight 2020 - The Allen Institute Developmental Recording Virtual Series" * In what ways could one send this data through
Thanks for your great "Jan Huisken, Morgridge Institute for Research" presentation yesterday - "Hindsight 2020 - The Allen Institute Developmental Recording Virtual Series" https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrszkCFQtagROYcbqv2lxuQ. Here are my questions from the talk in Zoom -
"incredible! in what ways could one send this data through to a single realistic virtual earth for species https://twitter.com/TheOpenBand/status/1367587550274015232?s=19 (think Google Street View with time slider at cell and molecular levels too)? How best to build this for light sheet microscopy as well?"
While Light Sheet Microscopy seems with your zebrafish example, and pictures, like it would be very adaptable in creating digital species - eg https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualEarthForSpecies?src=hashtag_click - and at the cellular and potentially molecular levels too, how could this work with a #RealisticVirtualEarthForEvolutionaryBiology - eg https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualEarthForEvolutionaryBiology?src=hashtag_click and a #RealisticVirtualEarthForGenetics too - eg https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualEarthForGenetics?src=hashtag_click in one single realistic virtual earth (think again Google Street View with time slider / Maps / Earth / TensorFlow, with Samsung Neons for realistic avatar bots) ... and even which software is easily group buildable?
And further, how could this be programmed to be coded in what comes after Google Poly (a library of virtual objects), and regarding your digital embryo example, for example, Jan?
And in what ways could a #film-to-3D App - https://twitter.com/hashtag/FilmTo3D?src=hashtag_click - facilitate this, at the STreet View level at first, but later even at the cellular and atomic levels?
George Church, who gave one of the first talks in this series in 2021 just Tweeted something possibly relevant regarding how genetics and computer design might work -

And while your amazing microscope seems relatively stationary, how about a version of Light Sheet Microscopy for the field, and even with a smartphone microscope (have added a few links below from an initial search)?
How also to begin to model the Axolotl in the very first Open Band Twitter picture and even regarding its genetic engineering with a bird in such software. Could Light Sheet Microscopy even offer research avenues into this ?

(And brainstorming-wise, would there even be gaming potential here regarding the Pokemon Go which is based on Google Street View too - eg since the Axolotl looks a little like it could be or become too a Pokemon Go creature)?
Thanks for your superb CalTech presentation on Light Sheet Microscopy and the amazing research you do. Looking forward to staying in communication. Thank you.
All the best, Scott

smartphone microscope
A new smartphone microscope called DIPLE more than doubled its Kickstarter funding goal of about $28,000 well over a month before its December 28 deadline. SmartMicroOptics, the parent company producing the device, said that DIPLE is capable of 1000x magnification while using a smartphone or tablet as a monitor

I am doing good.

Hi Jackie,
Pretty well, thank you, but am living in a temporary, I think, 'safe house' just north of Berkeley (which may change in a few months however)! Glad to hear from you as well! And glad you're doing well.

Living in a 'safe house'. I feel like there is a more interesting story there. :) I hope that if you do move it is a smooth move into a new place. Nothing so exciting over here. Mostly just working and trying to get my boys through distance learning while our schools are still closed. Have a great day. Take care, Jackie

Thanks, Jackie!
Am curious how remote learning can begin to flourish online, and not just at the high school and college/ university levels per CC-4 MIT OCW (and newly with edX re World Univ & Sch partnering) - but also on the WUaS wiki pages (in 200 countries & in their main languages!), for all ages potentially, as people wiki-add excellent online learning opportunities (like vetted remarkable home schooling opportunities) for example!

I would be happy to share my frustrations and accomplishments when it comes to what I have seen with distance learning. I think online learning can be very beneficial when done well. If you do decide to go down this path you might want to look at the differences between what CA public schools are doing vs. what traditional homeschool/ Charter public online schools are doing. What the public schools are doing right now is causing frustration for a bunch of reasons. One reason is the parents were not and are still not prepared for the task. With homeschool and the Charter public online schools. They provide the parents the teaching manuals along with the kids assignments. This is one way they are preparing parents to take over the role as the educator. I will not bore you with more details. I live this everyday so it is in the front of my mind. There are some really great homeschool/online programs out there you might want to look at.
Thanks,
Jackie

Thanks so much, Jackie, for your message.
And great to hear about what you're learning about 'homeschooling,' and perhaps with parents becoming teachers themselves (and re guidance for this esp.). Am looking around for a blog entry from some years ago regarding planning for this, and found this mentioning parents -
Flicker: Stanford Business School free course - "Scaling Up Your Venture Without Screwing Up," Homeschooling as emerging from hippies?, Cultures give shape to organizations, e.g. Quakers have created many Friendly schools and colleges, "New Age Journal" web site, and the "New Age Explorations" wiki subject page at WUaShttps://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2014/07/flicker-stanford-business-school-free.html - but not the blog post or two regarding how beneficial it would be to prepare for parents' roles in the home re online learning. Let's stay in touch about this, and please add any great links (that you've thus vetted for quality, or are otherwise accredited somehow for quality too) here, for example - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Courses#Kids'_free_learning_materials (from the main - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Courses), or possibly to https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/English_as_a_Second_Language_for_Kids (from https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Subjects). These wiki pages will grow, and anyone can create new ones (in any language eventually), and will become interoperable with WUaS's "back end" in Wikidata (eg MIT OCW in Wikidata - https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:EntityPage/Q1637597 or edX in Wikidata - https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q2106448). Will be interesting as WUaS's wikis grow how to best link all the best open free resources out there (re Charter schools, homeschooling online, etc.)
Thanks, Scott

Tongass National Forest (Alaska): Noteworthy Innovations in 2020 for World University and School
Noteworthy Innovations in 2020 for World University and School
World University & School - WUaS - Innovations in 2020:
Facilitating Excellence in Learning via best STEAM CC-4 OCW (in 4 languages) with Wikis (Wikidata/Wikipedia) in 300 languages +
Overview
World University and School's mission is to offer free university degrees and IB high school diplomas to students in their own countries and in their own languages, building upon Open Courseware in its current languages, and to facilitate Wiki schools for open teaching and learning in all living languages. WUaS is currently in the process of partnering with edX (founded by Anant Agarwal, a MIT and Harvard Professor, and the CEO of EdX) to offer online free-to-students' Bachelor and PhD programs in the autumn 2021. This would start in English, with students matriculating from as many as 200 countries. WUaS plans to license and accredit at the university and high school levels for its online degrees and diplomas, including Bachelor, PhD, Law, MD and IB high school, in the countries' main languages - http://worlduniversityandschool.org. Our Wikis will involve open and editable people-to-people teaching and learning, both creative and academic (see - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Subjects), but will also involve non-editable courses prepared under a Creative Commons’ license. With time, WUaS will use universal translators to extend the project automatically to any language. Part of WUaS's focus will include an academic press (http://worlduniversityandschool.org/AcademicPress.html) with machine translation and learning. 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.
New Innovations at World University and School
In 2020, WUaS innovations included beginning to: partner with edX; coding for anyone, with each getting a Wikidata Q-item (or similar) number; a new WUaS Opencura WBstack Wikibase platform; creating 1 Realistic Virtual Earth (think Google Street View with time slider) for use as field sites/classrooms, and everything, including a realistic virtual earth for genetics for aging reversal drug therapies; WUaS is planning tele-robotic surgery, and in a realistic virtual earth for surgery at cellular and atomic levels too; #WUaSHomeRobotics developing courses for each of 3 physical WUaS Lego Robotics' kits for #ActualVirtual #PhysicalVirtual robotics with the #Scratch3 programming languages with #GoogleTranslate & its100 languages in a #RealisticVirtualEarthForLego & #RealisticVirtualEarthForRobotics & re https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/experimental-study-group/es-293-lego-robotics-spring-2007/; using a crypto-currency; and, experimenting with Universal Basic Income to alleviate poverty, and connected with free universal Wiki education; reimbursement from ~200 nation states' counties for CC-4 MIT OCW-centric degrees; Sri Lanka WUaS in Google Sites for smartphone in the Sinhala Language https://sites.google.com/view/worlduniversityandschool/srilanka and WUaS in English in Google Sites https://sites.google.com/view/worlduniversityandschool/; credit for individual classes along the way to Bach and PhD degrees; print with machine translation to new language from a single book's page URL in the WUaS bookstore; WUaS’s 3 legal entities – a 1) federal 501 c 3, and 2) a non-profit and f3) or profit general stock company in California - are developing; the WUaS Corporation first filed its tax returns for 2017, 2018, 2019.
