Karthigaipoo (Gloriosa flower): a new Tamil language World University and School for Tamil Nadu-ans, and in Tamil, in conversation with English-language World University and School, and for MIT OCW-centric free degrees online at WUaS, a STEM focus, and wik
Starting a new Tamil language World University and School for Tamil Nadu-ans, in Tamil, and thanks to Prasanth in Madurai, south India
Perhaps you've noted here for example - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/20... - that WUaS educational approach has 2 sides to it:
1) free to students' DEGREES - with students taking MIT OCW and NEWLY edX courses, as WUaS licensing with BPPE and accredits with WASC senior
2) WUaS is a free wiki, for open teaching and learning, where you or I can add free high quality courses, and teaching resources to our WUaS wikis - and eventually in Tamil, in French, in Arabic - now in English. But these resources, like Youtube videos you created teaching something in Tamil about Electronics' engineering, or free books like the ones you shared - or Coursera+Khan Academy courses - would NOT be for credit, toward WUaS free degrees.
There are a number of ways to add discussions, for example to a WUaS wiki subject page - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool... - for example this subheading, which will be translated into potentially all 7,117 known living languages -
2.13 Select Conversations / Dialogues / Idea Competitions
- and which will be added to all WIKI subjects via - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool... - and with artificial intelligence too,
- so that, for example, you could start a Google group with a group of WUaS students, or a Twitter conversation
I can see a number of directions that World Univ & Sch would head in with regarding to developing WUaS in the Tamil language:
1 Supporting scientific papers that are written in Tamil - perhaps in a Google Scholar sort of way
2 Creating online university and school on both sides (for degrees and as wiki schools) - and on WUaS platforms as they develop
3 Translation from many languages into Tamil language by developing the machine translation, both for poetry and STEM

So Prasanth, entering a WUaS PhD program would involve your taking some edX courses (and not research) this summer - if and as WUaS proceeds with partnering with edX - to prepare you for entering this PhD program, and candidacy, in your major, and Imad, probably some Computer Science undergraduate courses
