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

Multilingual University & School

where anyone can teach or take a class or course

Welcome to World University and School, a global, virtual, open, (potentially degree-granting - Ph.D., M.D., & Music School, etc.), free-to-students, university and school, with great universities (e.g. MIT, Ivy League Schools, Stanford, U.C. Berkeley, Oxford, T.U.M., Sorbonne, L.M.U., Juilliard Music School, Cambridge, Collège de France, Cal Tech, B.T.U., University of Chicago, etc.) as key web content generators, based on a Wikipedia with MIT Open Course Ware model, especially for the developing world, and for everyone.

Mission
World University & School's (http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/World_University - like Wikipedia with MIT Open Course Ware) - mission, in reaching out to the entire world, is to provide a free, wiki-based education platform and, through facilitating the development of broadband worldwide, to make our service accessible to under served parts of the world. The WUaS mission is thus to facilitate all levels of teaching and learning opportunities (and future degrees) through an open, editable wiki in all languages, nation-states and subjects with great universities, and for One Laptop per Child countries and everyone.

Research
By developing a wiki school in every language and country/territory, WUaS will facilitate a wiki-conversation between languages and countries, in terms of teaching/learning, free and open software, and also vis-a-vis free degrees. It will generate a language database to facilitate translation technologies in all possible language combinations, that will become a rich resource for brain and language research on end-users, using, for example, neural 'hats.' WUaS research mission is to move from its wiki teaching and learning focus on all languages and nation states, for example, to make possible digitally-oriented language and brain research, even on end users in the home. WUaS will thus become a broad, worldwide research platform open to wiki-oriented, academic research.

World University & School is open to all academic and other research projects, especially those which are open and participatory. In focusing on wiki-listing all languages at World University, WUaS's initial research focus is linguistic. Digital and wiki technologies make real remarkable possibilities for linguistic research and WUaS plans to facilitate these as a beginning research trajectory.

Ideas
This main Research page at WUaS - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Research - is for actual research, including clinical trials, finding sample populations, research projects, as well as courses, and teaching & learning resources ... as wiki and collaborative as possible - WUaS is like Wikipedia with the rigorous research approaches of Harvard & MIT, for example.

Bliss experiments? In what ways might WUaS develop a far-reaching, developing set of experiments on bliss, (love) & happiness vis-a-vis music, MDMA, & Omega 3s, to further focus this developing World Univ & Sch with rigorous scientific experimentation?

How to facilitate a Stanford University / Haverford College / Swarthmore College (Quaker/Friendly) academic excellence ethos for World University & School, especially informing WUaS Research (e.g. medical, computer science, etc.) ... http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Research ... at WUaS? Hire Quaker researchers with an undergraduate / graduate degree from these great universities - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Courses#University_course_listings - esp. MIT, Stanford, Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Cambridge, etc.? That would do it ...
