Dear Friend:
Please support World University and School in its work for worldwide learning! It's 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 MIT Open Course Ware. World University and School is an education and service organization that can change thousands of lives each year.
WUaS is already open for learning. You or anyone can teach a course or take a class now. You or anyone can learn the equivalent of a degree through MIT right now, selecting from its 2,000 courses and video lectures. Or you can teach or potentially take a fun or fascinating class about Mozart, massage, painting, calculus, or sculpture, - whatever your area of interest or specialization. This can be done in any language, in any country, potentially with many, free degrees, or at any level of education.
World University and School is presently developing a global, degree-granting, virtual university and school. It's for everyone, especially for students in the developing world and countries participating in "One Laptop per Child." We are planning four degrees - Bachelor, Law, M.D., and Ph.D. - with matriculating classes in 2014 in English. And World University & School hopes to quickly expand to make teaching and learning materials available in every language and in most countries. 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). MIT Open Course Ware will be our model for degree-granting, academic, course work.
With the interactive virtual worlds of Open Simulator and Second Life, it's now possible to engage with almost every aspect of learning which occurs in the classroom, through group voice communication, group text chat, as well as video streaming. These virtual world technologies will develop significantly in the next few years. 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.
