World University: Difference between revisions

For the time being, World University might offer degrees over a 10 year horizon. So, for example, World University might offer four coursesdegrees, at first, in every50-100 country and in many languages, to be engaged possibly on One Laptop Per Child and video-capable, programmable, handheld devices. And people in these countries, of course, can add their own courses or instruction to this WUaS wiki, with knowledge they would like to share. In terms of possible degree-granting, CalMIT professors, for example, might also teach four courses at the undergraduate level, and one graduate level course, in the spring of 2011, for matriculated students, and with at-large participation possible, simply by allowingallow a camera in their classroom, andwith another instructor in a virtual world. A video-capable, internet, mobile-phone device would allow people who are illiterate to take and post courses to this WUaS wiki. WUaS is planning for credit- and degree-granting, and in multiple countries. As two paths emerge in World University, - degree and open courses, - MIT Open Course Ware is our model for degree-granting, academic, course work.
