Ideas
It will be fascinating to explore ways in which WUaS's required, first year Humanities 101 course develops in Google + Hangouts, with two, main channels of communication - group video with 10 people and group text chat - vis-a-vis Reed College's required, first year Hum 110, - http://academic.reed.edu/humanities/hum110/syllabus/2012-13/fall.html - especially in teaching the conference method, - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Conference_Method_of_Teaching_and_Learning - which is engaged in all subsequent courses at Reed, and will also be engaged in all subsequent, online, MIT OCW-centric courses - including in the sciences and social sciences and languages, etc. - at WUaS.

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 http://www.academia.edu).
