Dear

Please

OCW-centric,
online degrees, and worldwide learning! WUaS is a global, digital,
open, free-to-students, multilingual university & school, where
anyone can teach or take a class or course; it's like Wikipedia with
best STEM-centric OpenCourseWare. World University and School is an
education and
service organization that can change thousands of lives each year.
Quaker-informed
World University & School is seeking undergraduate students for
free, online, best STEM
OCW-centric, bachelor’s degrees to apply in the
autumn of 2016, for matriculation in autumn 2017 - http://scottmacleod.com/WUaSFriendsFlyerforProspectiveStudentApplicants.pdf
- and is already open for learning as wiki. You or anyone can teach a
course or take a class now at wiki (editable web pages) WUaS, and WUaS
is planning to do this in all 7,097 + languages, and 204 +
countries, potentially with many, free degrees, or at any level of
education.
We
are planning five degrees - Bachelor, Law, I.B., M.D., and Ph.D. - with
matriculating classes in 2017 in English. To support these free, best
STEM
OCW-centric, Creative Commons’ licensed degrees, WUaS seeks to raise
$100,000 in our 2015 capital campaign, and $125, 000 in next year's
campaign. Come join WUaS’s Gold, Silver or Bronze Giving Circles here -
http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/$100,000_Capital_Campaign_at_World_University_and_School_for_2012
- before our fiscal year ends on December 31, 2016. If you’d like to
help volunteer at World University and School, we’ve recently begun the
‘Association for WUaS’ - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Association_for_World_University_and_School
- to help with merchandising WUaS, for example, in WUaS’s upcoming,
online Bookstore / Computer store - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Bookstore_/_Computer_Store_(New_&_Used)_at_WUaS.
And
World University & School plans to expand steadily to make teaching
and learning materials available in all language and countries, each a
wiki page to begin. WUaS is designing this educational resource to work
on "One Laptop Per Child" computers in Rwanda, Ethiopia, Colombia,
Haiti, Mexico, Peru, Uruguay, Afghanistan, Mongolia, Cambodia, &
Papua New Guinea. These resources will also work on video-capable,
programmable, mobile phone-like devices ("broadband video on a handheld
computer"). And people in developing world countries can add their own
teaching and learning resources to World University's wiki (editable,
web pages). best STEM OpenCourseWare
will be our model for degree-granting,
academic, course work. With the interactive Google + video hangouts +,
and virtual worlds, it's now possible to engage with almost every
aspect of learning which occurs in the classroom, especially
INTERACTIVELY, through group video, group voice communication, group
text chat, as well as video streaming. On its own and in connection
with these technologies, World University and School has the potential
to generate a remarkable archive of courses over time.
