Sanjeev, Michael and All,

Thanks for the focus on meditation and self-care in this interesting session, Michael, Sanjeev and All,

Very valuable in this major transition time to online learning.

Am glad World Univ & Sch's second matriculating undergraduate class this autumn is learning from edX courses, and one of our online students is in India.

to Sanjeev, Lynn, Michael, Project

Thanks, Michael, Sanjeev and All,

Looking forward to this session soon. I've blogged a bit about this here - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/09/night-flowering-jasmine-social.html - and with regards especially to World Univ & Sch's planned online medical schools with teaching hospitals for online clinical care and clinical research.

Thanks for this definition of telemedicine re Project ECHO -
The ECHO model is not traditional “telemedicine” where the specialist assumes care of the patient, but is instead telementoring, a guided practice model where the participating clinician retains responsibility for managing the patient.

Warm regards, Scott
PSAm wondering how such practical IT instantiations of online medicine, with a mentoring aspect, and learning, will inform, even, theories of learning - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Theories_of_Learning (accessible from https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Subjects) - and check out the developing MIT OpenCourseWare here too). See you in 5 minutes!

It looks like a volcano chain that all went off at once. https://t.co/Hehfq1rICE— Hank Greely (@HankGreelyLSJU) September 8, 2020

https://twitter.com/HankGreelyLSJU/status/1303450335923625985?s=20 ... Could these have been set to pollute California environment even? Where there's smoke there's fire ... What could be getting 'cleaned up' in CA - in Canyon even, and legally too - in these regards too under the cover of the smoke, I wonder? Am glad it's cooler today, that my evaporative cooler, and fan, are on, that the curtains block enough of the smoke to keep the windows open, that it's manageable to be inside today, compared with ever too hot yesterday, when I had the windows closed due to the smoke too! I won't seek to replace the curtains with more filtering ability, since I'm moving out, but staying cool in Canyon for the next 2 months will be valuable.

Could Angela & Victor teach meditation online in my big educational project, I wonder - and for students in all ~200 countries? Victor posted new art recently - https://angela-victor.com/ - and are they the PRODUCTS - https://angela-victor.com/blogs/victor/find-latest-teachings-angela-and-victor-our-%E2%9Cproducts%E2%9D-page - this new art refers to ? Could be ... am not entirely comfortable with the 'products' word, but Yoga is a way of thinking, in terms of going into your own 'stuff' - which I find relevant here. :_)

Hi Ma,
Blogged a bit about this Angela & Victor Yoga thinking here today - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/09/indian-grey-hornbill-project-echo.html - (where social emotional learning here could be meditation, and re Sanjeev Arora MD's Project ECHO with which my big educational project seeks to collaborate, and for online Medical Schools ... )
Am curious about this Jim Spohrer Tweet - https://twitter.com/LFAI_Foundation/status/1301866629958184962?s=20 re the implicit LIFE re AI word (https://twitter.com/JimSpohrer) since also Jim might know Ellin Barrett here in Canyon (a senior woman) whose brother, like Jim, is a long-time IBMer.
Very speculatively, ... and re the 3 states that Ed mentioned in his supportive email yesterday (Oregon, Wyoming or Minnesota), I wonder what ... would choose?
Am continuing with my meditation practice daily - and Angela explicitly explores the role of emotion in learning (and perhaps in response to I-Anger, Yogi BKS Iyengar, as Dona Holleman has called Iyengar, - but where emotion for Angela could also refer to social emotional learning re Project ECHO's teaching of this!)
Love, Scott

Hi Scott,
Will definitely do so. There should be lots of opportunities. Between job loss and jobs going virtual, people are looking for less crowded (and less costly) places to live--Oregon- Wyoming- Minnesota-like less crowded.
Fondly,Ed

Dear Gail, (Jane, Seymour, George, Nancy, and All),

Thanks, Gail, for getting back to my mother and myself just now about "...the work that PAL planned to do (and did) on Cuttyhunk last Friday on ZOOM." I looked up PAL - https://www.palinc.com/project-experience/ma-heritage-landscape-inventory - and find it interesting that it stands for Public Archaeology Laboratory, and has a "MA HERITAGE LANDSCAPE INVENTORY" !

Janie and Scott: Perhaps I wasn't clear with respect to the work that PAL planned to do (and did) on Cuttyhunk last Friday on ZOOM. They were gathering information with respect to buildings and houses over 50 years old. They did not enter anyone's property unless the owner was home and told them they could enter the property. As far as I know, this only occurred twice to property not owned by the Town. No "surveying" of land/building was done. Perhaps the word "surveying" is not the word that should be used, but that is the word that PAL uses. The information that was gathered on each house/building was information that could be seen from the street - such as type of roof, siding, number of chimneys/type, number of stories, etc. Photos were taken.

The reasoning behind this project is that no community-wide inventory of historic, architectural, landscape, or archaeological resources has been done on Cuttyhunk. The Board of Selectmen believes there is a need to document those properties that have historical significance to the community, Massachusetts, and the country.

For example, in the event that one of these houses is either torn down or destroyed by fire, there will be preserved some documentation and photos of the house. Some individuals may want to use the information to place their homes on the National Register, but a decision to do this is the owner's - no one else.

Hope the above answers your questions. Let me know if it hasn't, or you have additional questions.

Regards. Gail

to Anant, Rohit, Rohit, Sri, Shahbaz, Larry

Shahbaz, I wonder if the 4 individuals below can be of possible support to you in your Bachelor degree studies at World Univ & Sch, and as models too of high achieving Indians, some of whom have navigated an American educational system:

Rohit Sharma
Anant Agarwal
Shankar Raman
Swapnil Mehta
https://www.linkedin.com/in/swapnil-mehta-343b18180/

More about welcoming you, and them here - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/09/firewheel-gaillardia-pulchella-happiness.html?m=0

You write on your LinkedIn page "I will work my heart out to achieve it" - https://www.linkedin.com/in/shahbaz-sanjer/ - and I'm glad that it may well refer to your Bachelor's degree at WUaS.
A full load at World Univ & Sch is nearly four 15-week long CC-4 MIT OCW courses - https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/literature/ - every term (with 3 terms per year) OVER 4 years. Regarding edX courses this September-December 2020, this translates to about 4 edX courses PER WEEK over 15 weeks. This could be an exciting and remarkable learning opportunity for you, - drinking deeply! - but it may also involve developing approaches to studying and learning that will transform your life in Lucknow. (The 4 edX courses per week may involve, in addition to class, an hour of study outside of class each DAY per week. Time to use the calendar (in Google?) ? Time management and scheduling may become very helpful, developing skills for you. I hope you can read literature and other areas in English broadly (a joy!) outside of your courses, but I also hope you can develop great approaches to studying for your courses primarily, and this autumn via the remarkable edX platform in a new way (for most of us even).
World Univ & Sch Cheers, ScottPSShall we map out ~50 WUaS credit units of courses for you this autumn, and from - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/English_Literature - and - https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/literature/ - and - https://www.edx.org/course/subject/literature - and regarding distribution requirements from - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/InfoTechNetworkSocGlobalUniv.html - in addition to the 13 credit units you're signing up for initially this autumn?

to me

Thanks Scott for your help and support. I really appreciate it.
Just to clarify on the last conversation we had, I am not dropping out of the Degree program of WUaS. I share the vision and goal of free education to all with WUaS.
I would love to recommend the available Degree programs to the students I know.
Yes, I am ready to map out 50 credit units this fall.

to Larry, Shahbaz

Hi, Shahbaz and Larry,
Thanks for the re-confirmation that you aren't dropping out of WUaS. How did the edX enrollment go? And how are you doing? How are your classes going?
Again, please include Larry Viehland here, as WUaS Academic Registrar, in emails about your academic developments.
Please let me know how you are doing with edX, especially, before WUaS considers other students in your area. The time commitment at World University and School for a free-to-students' CC-4 MIT OCW-centric Bachelor's degree is great, and WUaS is going to seek reimbursement from Indian departments of education. And WUaS would like the initial edX classes to be something that you can do first, since the edX or WUaS Open edX courses are what WUaS will WASC-accredit and BPPE-license upon - and thus assure quality of our WUaS degrees (in seeking to become the Harvard / MIT of the internet) ... and with the study time that entails. Consider your perseverance since January as part of your application, and WUaS, as we license and accredit, seeks to develop further our application process in new ways. Let's wait to explore your friends contacting WUaS until you've completed the AdelaideX 5-week course, and share the results with Larry, as a kind of further step in your WUaS matriculation process. WUaS seeks for you to be as persevering with your courses as you were in applying to and getting into WUaS (and your friends as well).
Please remember too that WUaS informed edX CEO Anant Agarwal of your planning to take "Poetry in America: Modernism" and "Shakespeare Matters," which WUaS will explore doing with some of your academically highest achieving friends in 5 weeks and after you've completed the "Shakespeare Matters" course.
How did the edX enrollment process go?
And are you going to attend Stanford Prof. Pascal Dupas's talk tomorrow evening, Indian time?Stanford: We are extremely happy that @DupasPascaline (Professor @Stanford ) would be joining us as speaker for our next interactive session! If challenges around global poverty interest you, then do join us for this session on Sept 4, 2020, 8:30 pm IST. Register here https://bit.ly/34w9wnj

to me, viehland

Hi Scott and Larry,

The enrollment process was cake. I have enrolled in "Poetry in America: Modernism" and "Shakespeare Matters" as recommended by you and Anant.
I want to know how would I be assessed in these courses and how would they lead me to a 4-year Bachelor's degree?

Thanks, Shahbaz

Scott MacLeod <sgkmacleod@worlduniversityandschool.org>Sat, Sep 5, 7:48 AM (2 days ago)

to Shahbaz, Larry

Hi Shahbaz,
Thanks for reaching out to Larry and myself. Am glad you found it easy to enroll in the 2 edX courses regarding your matriculation at World Univ & Sch. Congratulations!
I think when you finish each course you'll learn something from the edX system evaluation-wise. Pass that information on to Larry as WUaS Academic Registrar. (I've only taken as an 'auditor' The edX HarvardX JuryX course in 2016 so I'm not sure how edX has developed, but I think I did get some kind of evaluation from edX).
If you look back at the email on the 50 credit units for the autumn 2020 (as a full load) at WUaS, I think you'll see what the answers to your questions. (See too the Reed College links I shared with you to a) an English major, and b) distribution requirements). Roughly, and at this stage, one week of an edX course is worth one credit unit, so since you're taking an 8 week, and a 5 week, course, you would receive 13 credit units, upon completion of these courses.
Begin to look through the edX literature course offerings - https://www.edx.org/course/subject/literature - for another 37 units of a variety of courses. (My course 'Society and Information Technology' is beginning sometime in October will be 10 weeks long - potentially in video conferencing on Friday evenings at 8:30 pm India Standard Time, and potentially one other time per week, possibly Tuesday evening IST - DID YOU HAPPEN TO ATTEND STANFORD Prof Pascaline Dupas' talk on Friday at 8:30 IST?). Roughly, you'll be studying 150 credit units per an academic year of three 4-month terms toward your free-to-students' Bachelor degree (so roughly 600 credit units over 4 years). Please remember that this is rough at this stage until, in part, WUaS sees how it develops with WUaS Open edX from CC-4 MIT OCW courses in January 2021.
Cheers, Scott

to me

Hey Scott, as these courses are self-paced credit units, can I finish them as fast as I can and accelerate the degree process? Shahbaz

*
Scott MacLeod <sgkmacleod@worlduniversityandschool.org>Sun, Sep 6, 1:05 PM (22 hours ago)

to Larry, Shahbaz

That would be great, Shahbaz,
Just let Larry know as the WUaS Academic Registrar as soon as you can what the edX results are for each course. Eventually these WUaS results' / Academic Registrar process will be more automated than it is (and Larry could check in with edX CEO Anant Agarwal if he's unclear about how edX works in these regards too); it' s probably worth emailing the results to Larry and not include me in the email, as these results will become part of your official transcript (which is another further important aspect of WUaS licensing / accrediting), and a kind of independent WUaS Academic Registrar process is an important part of growing CC-4 MIT OCW-centric World Univ & Sch probably into WUaS Open edX to become a great university toward free-to-students' CC-4 OCW-centric Bachelor degrees.
Cheers, Scott

Shahbaz Sanjer3:45 AM (7 hours ago)

to me

Hey Scott, I wonder if there's a BA General degree available(like India) which consists different Art subjects. This might be interesting for many Indian students.
Shahbaz

Scott MacLeod <sgkmacleod@worlduniversityandschool.org>4:38 AM (7 hours ago)

to Larry, Shahbaz

Hi Shahbaz and Larry,
The World Univ & Sch 6 undergraduate degrees are all Liberal Arts' degrees - with majors - so they are general degrees. The majors within them allow for specialization, approaches to learning knowledge in depth, and career preparation. Liberal Arts' education is also accreditable / licensable in the US in a way that offers a career focus too - and newly online. With an English degree, you may be able to go on to study for a Ph.D. in English, teach English as a second language (and in a way that you might not with a General Degree), become a writer or a journalist, or any number of other careers, and with a history degree, an Indian student might be able to go on to a Law degree, for example. In seeking to become the MIT / Harvard / Stanford of the Internet, and newly in the information age, WUaS seeks to offer Indian students in a sense the opportunity to get a free-to-students' MIT-centric degree, and is eventually heading in the direction of MIT OCW's 32 departments - https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/find-by-department/ - with regards to further majors, and liberal arts' degrees, with a technical focus (see below). Given, also, the number of Indian students at MIT in the USA, I think many Indian students will be interested in online MIT OCW-centric degrees. Perhaps you're Indian student friends will enjoy the new opportunities in WUaS liberal arts' degrees (or else matriculate in India at a university for a general degree there).
How are your edX courses going? Appreciating your persevering to become a matriculated English major student at WUaS.
Cheers, Scott

MIT pioneered by combining technical training with a liberal arts education. Classes in literature and languages, psychology, politics — as well as participation in musical groups — were offered at MIT from its earliest days.https://shass.mit.edu/about/brief-history

Shahbaz Sanjer5:12 AM (6 hours ago)

to me

Hi Scott,

Yeah, courses are going all right. I want to point out that "Poetry in America: Modernism" has long ended in December, so there are no quizzes or assessments. Should I pursue this course?
Shahbaz

Scott MacLeod <sgkmacleod@worlduniversityandschool.org>8:50 AM (2 hours ago)

to Rohit, Rohit, Larry, Anant, Sri, Shahbaz

Hi Shahbaz and Rohit,
Glad your Shakespeare AdelaideX course is going well, Shahbaz. Students change classes at the beginning of a term all the time.
Rohit, could you please help mentor Shahbaz here? Since the course he had signed up for, "Poetry in America: Modernism," ended long ago/has been archived, and since therefore "there are no quizzes or assessments," Shahbaz writes, he's looking for a replacement course. And he's also looking to plan out 50 credit units of courses this autumn, where a 12 week edX course equals 12 credit units (at this stage, so a 1 week of an edX course equals 1 credit unit). Would this course - https://www.edx.org/course/masterpieces-of-world-literature - work for you? I'm not sure what students who are 'auditing' courses have access to in edX in terms of evaluation either. And could you both find out together please?
Over 4 years, for a free-to-students' online Bachelor's degree in an English major (such as Shahbaz is doing), students would be taking 600 credit units (which is roughly 10 MIT OCW 15-week-long courses per year in three 4-month terms, September-December, January-April, and May-August, or 3.3 MIT OCW per term for a 'full load'). Distribution requirements are part of this process for a WUaS Liberal Arts' degree, and WUaS is currently building from these on Reed College distribution requirements - https://www.reed.edu/registrar/pdfs/distribution-requirements-effective-fall-2019.pdf.And Reed's English major requirements are here - https://www.reed.edu/english/requirements.html - which WUaS is also building upon. World University and School would also like to develop a Humanities' 101 course online based on Reed College's Hum 110 course as a requirement for all incoming first year students, partly to facilitate learning the Conference Method (https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Conference_Method_of_Teaching_and_Learning), learning to write, learning critical thinking, and much more, and it's a very big project to make this exciting and extraordinary. Please remember that the 6 majors for Free-to-students' online Bachelor's degrees that WUaS is offering initially are EECS, General Science, General Engineering, English, History, and Business this autumn, and beginning in January 2021 too.
Rohit, I've created a new mentorship section here - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/World_University_Foundation - and added you to it.
For both of your thinking and planning purposes, World Univ & Sch is seeking to develop into WUaS Open edX from CC-4 MIT OCW courses (courses split in half potentially to 7-8 week long courses, instead of 15-16 week courses), and beginning potentially in January, but would seek too to hire (MIT?) graduate students to help migrate the MIT OCW into WUaS Open edX for this. So many more English major courses should be coming along.
Shahbaz, can you please look through edX Literature courses - https://www.edx.org/learn/literature - and pick out 50 credit units of courses for the autumn, and talk with Rohit about this, as a first step? Thank you!
Best wishes, Scott

Shahbaz:"Yeah, courses are going all right. I want to point out that "Poetry in America: Modernism" has long ended in December, so there are no quizzes or assessments. Should I pursue this course?"

GREG MANKIW'S BLOGRandom Observations for Students of EconomicsSUNDAY, JUNE 07, 2020What I've been watchingOver the past week, I have watched the six-part HBO miniseries The Plot Against America , which came out in March. It is based on the 2004 Philip Roth novel of the same title and tells an alternative history in which FDR is defeated in 1940 by the fascist-sympathizing Charles Lindbergh through the eyes of a Jewish family living in Newark, NJ. Compelling story, well acted. It is the best piece of television I have seen in years.

Dear Sanjeev, Mike and All,
Mike, how about at 9am Pacific Time, 10 am Mountain Time on F, 11 September (or an hour after this, if this time doesn't work for you)?
To give you some idea of how CC-4 MIT OCW-centric WIKI World University & School works, and regarding this UNM program - https://echo.unm.edu/teleecho-programs/education - here's the 'Inspiration_in_learning_and_teaching' wiki subject for open teaching and learning without any individual MIT OCW courses (yet) ... https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Inspiration_in_learning_and_teaching (accessible from https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Subjects). This open wiki school is planned for idea-sharing (anyone can teach to their Youtube, or add an URL) and in all 7,117 known living languages. If great open course ware emerges - in edX for example - WUaS would even consider offering academic credit for taking such courses toward free-to-students' online degrees (Bachelor, Ph.D., Law, MD and I.B. high school), and again in all ~200 countries' official and main languages (for the degrees). And the wiki itself could be inspiring in its openness.
And WUaS seeks to develop our inspiring high school (potentially) International Baccalaureate diplomas from CC-4 MIT OCW high school -https://ocw.mit.edu/high-school/ - which would be free to students' online diplomas, since CC-4 MIT OCW is Creative Commons' 4 licensed). How social and emotional support in these would work is something WUaS will have to nurture!
See you Tuesday!
Best regards, Scott

to David, stephen_potthoff, Walter, wescoat, lrediehs, Donn, Gray

Good morning, David, Gray, Jim, Walter, Laura, Stephen, and Donn,
Gray emailed about video conferencing in a few weeks, and also to let you know about Friendly-informed World University and School, here's my reply:

Dear Gray,

Great to hear from you - and yes, let's video conference in a few weeks.
To give one sense of how World Univ & Sch works, here's the Quakers' wiki subject / school for open teaching and learning - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Quakers_-_Religious_Society_of_Friendsaccessible from https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Subjects -
with no MIT OCW, and which sections are planned in all ~200 countries' languages, and even in all 7,117 known living languages, to facilitate open teaching and learning. See, too, some of the Philosophy wiki subjects with some MIT OCW, which will eventually be for credit toward free-to-students' online best STEAM CC-4 OpenCourseWare-centric accrediting degrees in all ~200 countries' official & main languages.

to Frode, Jim, manish.kothari

Dear Manish, Jim, Frode,
Very nice to meet you in video here:
DeepTech Everywhere: Building Disruptive Micro-Organizations (2020 - video)https://www.postindustrialforum.com/oe-deeptech-everywhere-building-disruptive-micro-organizations-25-august-2020-zvzcfqb/

In your video, I found these items below most salient to World Univ & Sch's innovations.
I'd like to inquire again regarding my initial email to you three (at bottom):
"... I wanted to ask about CC-4 MIT OCW-centric (in its 4 languages) wiki World Univ & Sch, which is planning to create major online Universities in all ~200 countries' official / main languages, and wiki schools for open teaching and learning in 7,117 known living languages, and regarding a WUaS Universal Translator which was my ISSIP Grand Challenge presentation in 2015 - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2015/03/orchidaceae-wuas-1000-proposed-issip.html - for example. And World Univ & Sch also has a "WUaS home robotics" ' focus emerging with courses from - https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/experimental-study-group/es-293-lego-robotics-spring-2007/ - (and is an official 'carrier' of 3 Lego Robotics' kits - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/AcademicPress.html). I see, Manish, that you've served on a number of Boards of Robotics' companies - https://www.sri.com/bios/manish-kothari/. WUaS's robotics focus is even for facilitating learning machine learning:

Many, many of the topics you speak about are here in the wiki subjects for open teaching and learning with many CC-4MIT OCW courses (eventually for credit toward free-to-students' online degrees in all ~200 countries and in their official and main languages) - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Subjects.
In what ways might we explore these wiki subjects/schools (even in all 7,117 living languages), "WUaS Home Robotics with AI / ML," a realistic virtual earth for STEM - https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualEarthForSTEM?src=hashtag_click (and re digital twins too) - all of the questions and ideas in this email, and further collaboration with SRI International even, Manish?

Hi Scott,
Thanks for your email - and hope you are staying safe in these pandemic times.

WUaS has a great vision (free online education content in all languages and all subjects for all experience levels) and glad to learn that WUaS home roboticsfocus is emerging.

Glad you enjoyed the video and shared it with others.

Thanks, -Jim

Dear Jim, Manish, Frode,

Thanks again for you edifying talk.
CC-4 MIT OCW-centric World University and School seeks to build out "WUaS Home Robotics" courses for online free-to-students' Bachelor, Ph.D., M.D. and I.B high school degrees (and possibly law degrees) in all ~200 countries' and in their main and official languages from - https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/experimental-study-group/es-293-lego-robotics-spring-2007/. And it's WUaS's #ActualVirtual #PhysicalDigital robotics' focus in seeking to create a #RealisticVirtualEarthForRobotics - https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualEarthForRobotics?src=hashtag_click and a #RealisticVirtualEarthForLego https://twitter.com/hashtag/RealisticVirtualEarthForLego?src=hashtag_click that will expand the possibilities with the 3 Lego Robotics' kits enormously, which Lego Robotics the WUaS Educational Services' Store is already officially carrying (in the USA so far) - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/AcademicPress.html. So this would include building out WUaS courses in these 6 majors - General Engineering, EECS, General Science, and event in English, History and Business (worlduniversityandschool.org - in the 22 official or scheduled languages of India, and again toward free-to-students' MIT OCW-centric online degrees. WUaS CC-4 MIT OCW-centric Home Aeronautics and Astronautics - https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/aeronautics-and-astronautics/ - Robotics for flight with Lego Robotics (Kitables?) will be part of this.
An important aspect of this #ActualVirtual #PhysicalDigital WUaS Home Robotics' focus will be creating a #FilmTo3D App - https://twitter.com/hashtag/FilmTo3D?src=hashtag_click - to transfer students' physical Lego robot builds, for ex., into a #RealisticVirtualEarthForRobotics and in something like Google Street View/ Brick Street View with TIME SLIDER, Maps, Earth with TensorFlow AI and Google Translate - and with the MIT Media Lab's Scratch programming which works with Lego Robotics, and which realistic virtual earth is group buildable (like Second Life) but with realism. WUaS seeks to build this realistic virtual earth for Lego at the cellular and molecular levels too, which MIT has worked on some too - https://twitter.com/TheOpenBand/status/1188847927545880576?s=20 ?
Frode, are you involved with the Danish-based Lego company at all? (And do you happen to know Soren Juul Jorgensen - https://twitter.com/SorenJuulJ - who made it possible for WUaS Educational Services' Store to carry Lego robotics' officially?)
And in what ways might it be possible to collaborate with SRI International in this, Manish, since you have such remarkable robotics and AI / ML knowledge and depth? Would it be possible to aim for a first course for January 2021 in WUaS Open edX / edX in the WUaS engineering major, in an emerging realistic virtual earth for Lego Robotics, and at the 1st year of a Bachelor's degree level?

Support (care) for our incoming undergraduate class at World University and School ...

Shahbaz, I wonder if the 4 individuals below can be of possible support to you in your Bachelor degree studies at World Univ & Sch, and as models too of high achieving Indians, some of whom have navigated an American educational system:

Rohit Sharma
Anant Agarwal
Shankar Raman
Swapnil Mehta
https://www.linkedin.com/in/swapnil-mehta-343b18180/

More about welcoming you, and them here - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/09/firewheel-gaillardia-pulchella-happiness.html?m=0

You write on your LinkedIn page "I will work my heart out to achieve it" - https://www.linkedin.com/in/shahbaz-sanjer/ - and I'm glad that it may well refer to your Bachelor's degree at WUaS.

A full load at World Univ & Sch is nearly four 15-week long CC-4 MIT OCW courses - https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/literature/ - every term (with 3 terms per year) OVER 4 years. Regarding edX courses this September-December 2020, this translates to about 4 edX courses PER WEEK over 15 weeks. This could be an exciting and remarkable learning opportunity for you, - drinking deeply! - but it may also involve developing approaches to studying and learning that will transform your life in Lucknow. (The 4 edX courses per week may involve, in addition to class, an hour of study outside of class each DAY per week. Time to use the calendar (in Google?) ? Time management and scheduling may become very helpful, developing skills for you. I hope you can read literature and other areas in English broadly (a joy!) outside of your courses, but I also hope you can develop great approaches to studying for your courses primarily, and this autumn via the remarkable edX platform in a new way (for most of us even).
World Univ & Sch Cheers, ScottPSShall we map out ~50 WUaS credit units of courses for you this autumn, and from - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/English_Literature - and - https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/literature/ - and - https://www.edx.org/course/subject/literature - and regarding distribution requirements from - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/InfoTechNetworkSocGlobalUniv.html - in addition to the 13 credit units you're signing up for initially this autumn?

bagpiping & melody & composing for the Scottish small pipes

Scott MacLeod <musicalmacflower@gmail.com>Sun, Aug 30, 8:35 AM (3 days ago)

to Taylor

Taylor,
Further: What's a melody? (... the tune you sang. ... if we can identify it ... I may even be playing it on my upcoming album!)
Regarding the melody definition "a sequence of single notes that is musically satisfying" ... let's explore the 'satisfying' word musically and meaning-wise (neurophysiologically even?)
And are therefore harmonies or seconds on their own NOT satisfying musically ?
Furthermore, Introducing Melody
https://youtu.be/WESQHuwOizM

And:
Melody | Definition of Melody by Merriam-Webster - www.merriam-webster.com › dictionary › melody
Definition of melody 1 : pleasing arrangement of sounds. 2 : a series of musical notes or tones arranged in a definite pattern of pitch and rhythm. 3 : the main part in a musical composition.Fascinating:This just popped up in Twitter (which I re-Tweeted here - https://twitter.com/TheOpenBand) ... and it's fascinating re touching on melody, but remarkable insights into musicianship (and even re - http://scottmacleod.com/GuidelinesPracticingMusicalInstrument.htm - where you've been making new connections recently in a variety of ways too)William Fitzpatrick: Interview with David Kim, Concertmaster of the Philadelphia Orchestra:

And time to explore writing a 3rd and 4th part to "The Road to the Isles" - the very great PM Donald MacLeod wrote a lot of great 2nd, 3rd and 4th parts of great lyrical tunes :)
Musical Cheers, Scott

Glad that you are, afterall, going to matriculate at World University and School tomorrow, and by taking edX courses. Here are some great MIT professors in your English major to keep an eye on, in the MIT English Literature department: Shankar Raman - https://lit.mit.edu/people/sraman/ - and with an interest in Computing and AI https://shass.mit.edu/news/news-2019-computing-and-ai-humanistic-perspectives-mit-literature-shankar-raman - and Diana Henderson - https://lit.mit.edu/people/dhenderson/ (https://lit.mit.edu/people/faculty/) - both on social media too here:

And do you know the great and very funny comedy "Hullabaloo in the Guava Orchard" (1999) as a comedy, and by Kieran Desai? - https://www.encyclopedia.com/arts/educational-magazines/hullabaloo-guava-orchard (it could be great to compare with "Tom Jones" with the free text here in Gutenberg archive - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/08/malabar-parakeet-bishopton-scotland-dog.html - and which is so comic it might bring tears of mirth to your eyes:).
Here again is today's MIT convocation, which is now available in recorded form - http://web.mit.edu/webcast/convocation/f20/ - if you didn't get a chance to see it earlier, and as an inspiring welcome to incoming undergraduate students.
Welcome to World University and School!

Shahbaz,
Here's MIT Professor of English Diana Henderson -
"So proud of the @mitlibraries staff who are making digital access to our collections available this Fall to support MIT research, teaching, and teaching. #OneMIThttps://twitter.com/DianaHe23732776/status/1300607523662200837?s=20
- and which access could be very helpful for you especially. Let's stay in communication about this as you begin your edX classes - and regarding your need for books in them.
Also, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India (where you live I've read) is very beautiful - and writing some poetry about it , even in Google Street View could be fun too :)

https://www.google.com/maps/place/Lucknow,+Uttar+Pradesh,+India/@26.8486227,80.8020835,11z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x399bfd991f32b16b:0x93ccba8909978be7!8m2!3d26.8466937!4d80.946166
I haven't seen however in these pictures in Google Street View of Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India, the ability to walk down the virtual road 4 miles in it ... like you can here ... ~ http://tinyurl.com/p62rpcg (in the second to bottom images, and accessible from http://bit.ly/HarbinBook) ~ from the Harbin Hot Springs' gatehouse '4 miles down' the 'road' to "Middletown, California" - and "amble" around the streets there. (I have, however, written 3 books of poetry, which are Harbin inspired .... https://www.amazon.com/author/scottmacleodworlduniversity - and some regarding virtual Harbin).
Are you a reader of the inspiring Tagore? And are you writing poetry by any chance too - which seems like a very enjoyable aspect of being an English major - possibly by finding freedom to write in 'riffing' in a sense, and even as you walk around Lucknow, and in English or in other languages you know?
How are your 2 edX courses going in these first days?
Cheers, Scottworlduniversityandschool.org scottmacleod.com

Hi Ma,

This is the Harvard article on happiness, and regarding little social connections contributing to this (and which are now absent with covid quarantines), which I found so germane, and which speaks to me re my own happiness in the past (growing up in Boston when I was very little, schools like Shady Side, and Reed, and especially on Cuttyhunk, for example). Hiking the Pacific Crest Trail the first year (1980) for 3.5 months in California and Oregon, when I was by myself, I was quite 'on top of the world' too, so social interactions were not the cause, but the 2nd time I hiked the PCT in 1982, in the state of Washington, I was also by myself, perhaps feeling more alone, but more worried about what was coming afterward ...

COVID has robbed us of many of the everyday interactions we used to have, and those interactions helped to keep us happy, experts say

https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2020/08/covid-19-is-evaporating-casual-connections-and-why-thats-bad/

I haven't seen an article like this, and focusing on little conversations or interactions, in the past 4 or 5 months (while I have seen a smattering of other 'mental health,' but not happiness related, articles, and not like this, although I would point to some other aspects of social-ness than this article points to, as significant, perhaps).

Now how to create these little social interactions on the internet, and if not in video conferencing, then in a realistic virtual earth for little conversations? :) Could this be a definition of community? I think so too :)

What do you think?

Love, Scott

Here's Harvard's Professor Manuel Luis Small testifying before Congress (partly about happiness, and it's theoretical, and keeps in mind students of color, and low income students:)

Hi Ma,
How to grow a community re happiness online, ...?
Both happiness and community are ideas I've explored at least since Reed, and I think too at Shady Side :)
What are the best examples of online happiness generation due to the IT platform even? And could a realistic virtual earth with avatar bots help?
When I think of learning happiness, I think it's from you, Ma! :)) Am appreciative ever so much for this! Sense of community, and making friends, too, in a way! :) Thank you!
Love, Scott

to Anant, Rohit, Rohit, Sri, Shahbaz, Larry

Shahbaz,
Glad that you are, afterall, going to matriculate at World University and School tomorrow, and by taking edX courses. Here are some great MIT professors in your English major to keep an eye on, in the MIT English Literature department: Shankar Raman - https://lit.mit.edu/people/sraman/ - and with an interest in Computing and AI https://shass.mit.edu/news/news-2019-computing-and-ai-humanistic-perspectives-mit-literature-shankar-raman - and Diana Henderson - https://lit.mit.edu/people/dhenderson/ (https://lit.mit.edu/people/faculty/) - both on social media too here:

Lit Sections's Head, Shankar Raman: "An Engineering and Architecture Major Returns to MIT—to Teach Literature"... "to champion the love of language and powerful humanistic ways of thinking... & work the subject matter into STEM" https://t.co/rQJga3NYxv @MIT_alumni #STEMeducation pic.twitter.com/F08jTGftN1— LIT@MIT (@LITatMIT) November 22, 2019

https://twitter.com/DianaHe23732776 https://mit.academia.edu/DianaHenderson
And do you know the great and very funny comedy "Hullabaloo in the Guava Orchard" (1999) as a comedy, and by Kieran Desai? - https://www.encyclopedia.com/arts/educational-magazines/hullabaloo-guava-orchard (it could be great to compare with "Tom Jones" with the free text here in Gutenberg archive - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/08/malabar-parakeet-bishopton-scotland-dog.html - and which is so comic it might bring tears of mirth to your eyes:).
Here again is today's MIT convocation, which is now available in recorded form - http://web.mit.edu/webcast/convocation/f20/ - if you didn't get a chance to see it earlier, and as an inspiring welcome to incoming undergraduate students.
Welcome to World University and School!

Paul, and All, Thanks for the poetry yesterday!

Since many are Friends/ Quakers in this email thread, I want to share with you this online free-to-students' Bachelor degree opportunity (emerging from CC-4 MIT OCW, and accrediting/licensing in CA with BPPE and WASC in all likelihood) - which is Friendly-informed too! Students could begin taking edX courses this autumn. And one student who's beginning on 1 September, from India, is an English major, and taking 2 edX courses, both with a poetry focus in part!
Here, too, is the Harvard Woodberry Poetry Room link I shared with you in text chat yesterday -

Congratulations to WPR Creative Fellow Tracie Morris for being appointed full-time faculty at Iowa Writers' Workshop: "the first tenured African American full professor of poetry in the history of the Workshop."

Congratulations on the upcoming launch of your "When an Atheist Says Bless You" poetry book, and perhaps we can have a lunch launch for this too! (Have you let the NtF - Nontheist Friends' email folks know about your upcoming book?)

Minute 1
World University and School matriculates its 2nd undergraduate class this Tu 9/1/20 online, planned in ~200 countries & official languages - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/The_College_at_World_University_and_School.

World University and School has begun to send out World University and School Letters of Acceptance for this, and since students will be taking edX courses at first, and online, WUaS is offering a rolling admission approach as well. Please email info@worlduniversityandschool.org if interested, or if you know of someone who might be interested in studying for a free-to-students’4-year best STEM CC-4 OpenCourseWare-centric Bachelors’ degree.

Minute 2Matriculating WUaS students will be studying on edX (which requires broadband Wi-Fi video streaming access from all countries) this September 2020.  WUaS will begin to look into developing WUaS Open edX for students with limited video streaming opportunities (from MIT OpenCourseWare courses, for example), potentially via Open edX service provider MOOCit France, for January. WUaS seeks to build an online learning community as well, and offer advising / mentoring / other course possibilities in group video too in these regards. (Thanks to MOOCit France for their startup kit - https://app.moocit.fr/courses/course-v1:WUAS+002+1/course/ - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2020/08/lotus-corniculatus-glad-to-announce-new.html. WUaS is going to cancel our proceeding with WUaS Open edX via MOOCit France for the time being. WUaS will explore developing again with MOOCit France for January 1, 2021, contingent on developing/ adapting /migrating CC-4 MIT OCW into WUaS Open edX in our 6 majors, potentially with the expertise of graduate student instructors (MIT?), splitting the 15-week long MIT OCW courses into 7-8 week courses, and potentially even adding a seminar approach for 1st year undergraduates (via Riff Analytics), planning for BPPE licensing in CA, and accreditation (with WASC senior probably) and getting enough students. WUaS is also seeking to code for all 7.5 billion people on the planet, as wiki-Universitians for a variety of reasons, and potentially regarding the Open edX money transfer mechanism (regarding reimbursement to WUaS for CC-4 OpenCourseWare courses too).
(Thanks much also to Beth Porter, CEO of #Riff Analytics, discussing course-wide and small group interactions at scale. Find all details here: https://openedx.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/COMM/pages/1680049837/August+13+2020+community+meetup@ebport of @RiffLearning for her overview of Riff Analytics’ innovative AI for improving small-group educational dynamics - https://twitter.com/OpenEdX/status/1293983506343890948?s=20 - and regarding the potential for WUaS to develop the Conference Method online - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Conference_Method_of_Teaching_and_Learning- or SEMINAR, and via building on best STEAM CC-4 OCW in its 4 current languages).

Regarding UBI experiment questions, and your great responses, am thinking at CC-4 MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch of exploring facilitating UBI experiments in all ~200 countries, and for speakers of all 7,117 known living languages as wiki (for open teaching and learning online) Universitians, in planning for all 7.5 billion people on planet - re Universal word - and to alleviate poverty worldwide, and to distribute a single digital cryptocurrency (eg Bitcoin or Mine Pi etc., and post Euro in 19 out of 28 nation states) backed by most of ~200 countries’ central banks. See other comments in chat and Q&A in these regards in Zoom today as well. The WUaS Press / Corporation would like to explore facilitating this and potentially via the emergent long term Silicon Valley stock exchange, and in communication with the state of CA's Stockton UBI experiment (and others worldwide), as well as the MIT Digital Currency Initiative - https://twitter.com/neha/status/1294420586089910272?s=20  - with the Boston Federal Reserve.
MIT OCW-centric wiki World University and School is also seeking to create 2.2 million great jobs & careers worldwide and in all ~200 countries and 7,117 living languages, both online and on-the-ground.
How best to communicate further about all of this, and to bring your great "California’s Approach to Recovery and Resilience: Centering Equity and Job Quality" panel conversation forward?
