World University and School {in a virtual world}
Welcome to World University and School Wiki
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
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 mission is to facilitate all levels of teaching and learning opportunities in all languages and all subjects.


Master Plan

Business Plan

Year 2010

"All Ways Free" to students. Budget for this in perpetuity (perhaps like Tokyo University and Scandinavian universities).

Technologies:

Database of open Teaching and Learning Materials, in all languages; anyone may teach to their web camera in this open wiki. Information technologies here include human minds. Anyone may teach and learn in real time in a virtual world, like Second Life, using the wiki-like Google calendar, for example.

Video capable hand held computer devices (e.g. OLPC and mobile computer devices - with robust video bandwidth and infrastructure in OLPC countries, and everywhere).

Translation between all languages. Using Google Wave translation? Be able to add Languages wiki-like?

 Outputs:

Laptop/Desktop - One Laptop per Child size screen (6x4 inches), capable of virtual worlds like Second Life , and all related technologies as they develop; web pages - markup languages, what people create and do with this, etc.

Mobile - Handheld size screen (3x2 inches); NY Times' mobile format?

New Technologies:

Engage, and help to generate, new technological developments (partnering with MIT?) robustly, as they emerge.

Budget robustly for technological innovation and experimentation.

Become the low cost worldwide provider of internet access, focusing on the OLPC countries first.

Interns:

Intern positions in the first two years (20 hrs a week maximum):

The following report to the General Manager:

1 head of WUaS Universitian community building – like Wikipedians – Everyone can teach – new content generators with web cameras 1 head of wiki Academic sections, for eventual degrees (Ph.D., B.A., Music degrees) 1 head of One Laptop per Child wiki languages' development 1 head of wiki, new, open Teaching and Learning content aggregation 1 head of wiki and other Information Technology technical development – including Google Wave 1 head of languages' development – liaison with other WUaS languages 1 head of nation-state wiki – and eventual accreditation in each 1 head of Second Life island development 1 head of New Intern Development – nascent Human Resources position – job descriptions 1 head of legal questions - Creative Commons law, California Law, U.S. Law 1 head of outreach and marketing (and branding?) 1 head of Minutes for all the committees, each of the above being a committee, facilitating and training other recording clerks - (email collation?) 1 head of Medical School and eventual hospital development 1 head of Music School 1 head of Design 1 head of New Schools (e.g. Law, Veterinary, Dental)


The following report to the 'Head of Fundraising and Fiduciary Responsibility' (a Quaker):
