Ideas
I have a current, particular interest in MIT OpenCourseWare, so will add, teach and learn, with related resources, - but this page is for teaching and learning about the Massachusetts Institute of Technology - MIT, as a whole. I'm particularly interested in creativity and innovation aspects of MIT vis-a-vis WUaS. (S.M.).

WUaS is MIT-centric.

Here are important templates for wiki-creating schools or MIT OCW-centric universities in a language or country of your choice, if you would like to do so -

http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/LANGUAGE_TEMPLATE

http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/NATION_STATE_TEMPLATE

and here's the main WUaS subject template -

http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/SUBJECT_TEMPLATE -

for creating new wiki subjects, and in a language of your choosing.

Publish my article in a WUaS academic journal in this subject
Open Journal Systems. 2012. Open Journal Systems. Public Knowledge Project.

(WUaS's wiki, information technologies and criteria for this - informed by the WUaS academic journal subject matter - are developing, since you can already publish your article at Academia.edu http://www.academia.edu or Research Gate - http://www.researchgate.net/ - or Spire - http://spire.sciences-po.fr/web/ - for example); See Library Resources below at WUaS for further resources.
