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

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.

- WUaS is seeking to explore offering courses in Lego Robotics for English majors in particular, and eventually with the Scratch programming language.
- Also, see: World Univ & Sch News and Q & A 8/10/20 1) Seeking matriculating undergrads for 9/1/2020 MBM Minuteshttps://youtu.be/qbggnTOjlQA (and other recent videos here - https://www.youtube.com/user/WorldUnivandSch)


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).

World University and School will submit a claim in the Google Plus Class Action suit.

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?
