World University: Difference between revisions

We're presently in the process of both envisioning and realizing a global, degree-granting (B.A.Bachelors, Law, Ph.D., Law and M.D.), free-to-students, open, virtual 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, Caltech, B.T.U., University of Chicago, etc., open course ware, especially) as key players, using a Wikipedia with MIT OCW model, and for everyone, and especially the developing world - which [[Help:Editing|anyone can edit]], primarily by teaching, adding, requesting or taking courses.

In many ways, World University & School is already open here. Add a course now. And you can take classes, for example, through MIT's Open Course Ware by clicking on the coursesappropriate to the leftlinks, and learn, for example, what is the equivalent of a Master's Degree in Physics or in "Society, Technology and Science," through MIT, right now. MIT's Open Course Ware's web site contains over 19002,050 courses, with many video lectures posted. Or you can post a very fun or fascinating class about Mozart, massage, painting, calculus, sculpture or your area of interest or specialization. Also, create a page with what you know, what courses you'd like to teach or take, and what courses you've taken; Facebookby iscreating oneyour way to doownon this, but you can also create your own home page for this, and add a link in World University and School. Use the links to the left to begin adding a free course, by language, country, degree, or to take a course.

While all countries and territories (around 220, perhaps starting with the countries, and places, in GlobalVoicesOnline.org), and all languages, (possibly 8,000 +, including 'dead' languages, but starting with those languages in Wikipedia) will be part of this, we'd like to focus at first on the communities in countries that One Laptop Per Child (emerging from MIT) is also engaging - Rwanda, Ethiopia, Colombia, Haiti, Mexico, Peru, USA (Birmingham, Alabama), Uruguay, Afghanistan, Mongolia, Cambodia, & Papua New Guinea - as well as your interests.
