Welcome to 

which anyone can add to or edit.

The Global, Virtual/Digital, Open, Free, {potentially Degree- and Credit-Granting},

Multilingual University & School

where anyone can teach or take a class or course


 * Add or take a Language.

Languages - About

 * Each language is an university or a school, like the current one in English.
 * Here are list of 281 Wikipedias, as one basis for WUaS Languages: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/List_of_Wikipedias.
 * The Ethnologue is a list of 6,909 known living languages, as another basis for WUaS Languages: http://www.ethnologue.com/.
 * Add languages below, and create a link to a new page for each new subject to wiki-add courses, and teaching and learning resources.
 * Also see http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Help:Languages.
 * Create World University and School in this language, any way you want, but you can start, too, using 'Courses' and 'Subjects.'
 * For each new language, which will become a University and School itself, add language instruction in that language, and to/from that language; this language instruction may become the beginning point for many of these universities/schools.
 * If literacy is a big key to reducing the population explosion especially in the emerging world, WUaS would like to prioritize its wiki language universities & schools' development (the plan is to develop a school in each of 3000-8000 languages) for women beginning around age 5 in countries with highest birth rates on OLPCs and similar computers.
 * Mathematical symbols and languages too, so all symbols, as wiki, to allow for the creation of new symbols.

WUaS Universal Translator
World University, building on Google Translate with its at least 58 languages - http://translate.google.com/# - may become the basis for a WUaS Universal Translator, for both translation and academic research.
