WUaS Idea- and Academic Resources
Ideas
World University & School's main, free, degree focus is at the college/university level, accrediting on MIT Open Course Ware, and in as many as 50-100 languages - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Languages / countries -http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Nation_States. But as World University & School moves toward accreditation, and potentially in conjunction with Quakers/F/friends, especially in the SF Bay Area, WUaS would also accredit at the high school level for free, online, International Baccalaureate, California, high school diplomas (which are already free on the ground at public, high schools), on Creative Commons' licensed, MIT OCW High School - http://ocw.mit.edu/high-school/introductory-mit-courses/ - as early as 2015.
WUaS would plan to do this with the International Baccalaureate, both because of its international focus, as well as its online pilot program here - http://www.ibo.org/diploma/development/dponline/index.cfm - and in conjunction with Quakers.
In addition to STEM-centric, C.C., MIT OCW High School resources, WUaS would like to engage the developing best, free online resources, including Khan Academy.
AP (Advanced Placement) Computer Science classes, and other AP classes, will be central to WUaS I.B. High School.
WUaS is planning for an "Admitted Students' Day" for the first, matriculating Bachelor's degree class, on or around Saturday, April 14th, 2014, and the second Saturday of April for other degrees in the future.
World University & School may target Android/iPhone/ smart phone, mobile, internet devices with video, and group text chat for the conference method - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Conference_Method_of_Teaching_and_Learning - of teaching and learning, as the bare minimum hardware to begin to study for a MIT OCW-centric Bachelor's degree.
In developing the World University and School, online, MIT OCW High School (Creative Commons' licensed)-centric, free 'International Baccalaureate Diploma and Programme' (highest quality - e.g. P.A. Exeter?) - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/WUaS_International_Baccalaureate_Diploma_and_Programme - WUaS will probably focus on these United Nations' languages only - Arabic, Chinese (Mandarin), English, French, Russian, Spanish ... as a feed-in to The College at WUaS - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/The_College_at_World_University_and_School - (potentially in many of the 3000-8000 languages, but starting with English in 2014) ...
World University and School's online, International Baccalaureate school - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/WUaS_International_Baccalaureate_Diploma_and_Programme - is planning to be free, since Creative Commons' licensed, and in the 6 United Nations' languages, and MIT OCW High School-centric ... Kids will hang out with friends in their neighborhood, as well as in Google + Hangouts and similar ...
The online World University and School bookstore is planning to be in the 6 United Nations' languages, to start, and perhaps eventually on the ground, as bookstore/computer store / informal student center / and possibly also as wired classroom for 40 people, in a nice neighborhood, perhaps near a Quaker Meeting, and in a major city (with a culture of learning?) of that language: Arabic -Tehran/Riyadh/Dubai? Chinese (Mandarin) - Beijing, English - London/Cambridge, French-Paris, Russian-Moscow/St. Petersburg, Spanish-Madrid?
WUaS International Baccalaureate Diploma and Programme is college preparatory.
