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

Friends,

Here are some main, current, group pages: the WUaS G + https://plus.google.com/u/0/115890623333932577910/posts - and WUaS's G + company page - https://plus.google.com/u/0/b/108179352492243955816/108179352492243955816/posts - both of which you can find via my name, Scott MacLeod, at WorldUniversityAndSchool@gmail.com. And here's the WUaS Google Group page - http://groups.google.com/group/World-University-and-School (best accessed in Chrome). Let WUaS know here if you'd like to be on the email list at the email above or here - worldunivandsch@scottmacleod.com. And here are the WUaS groups in LinkedIn - http://www.linkedin.com/groups/World-University-School-4024337 (connected with my LinkedIn page - http://www.linkedin.com/in/scottgkmacleod), as well as in FB - https://www.facebook.com/groups/48753608141/ (which may be archived), and in Academia.edu - http://worlduniversityandschool.academia.edu/ScottMacLeod, and in Twitter - http://twitter.com/WorldUnivandSch. Please join or add them, or create your own WUaS group, as well, for learning and teaching!

Google "World University and School" to visit WUaS. World University & School is a wiki (editable web pages) with open, free teaching and learning content, which is potentially in all languages, nation states, subjects and at all levels. There's kids' teaching and learning content there, too, and all of this content will grow. Its web address is http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/World_University. It's like Wikipedia with MIT Open Course Ware (with 1900 courses online), which all of us can create together. You can teach to your web camera and post this to a video streaming web site like youtube.com (which you'll find here on the FREE Educational Software page at WUaS), or learn from the abundant content already posted to WUaS, as well as add web links to the WUaS wiki. Degree- and credit-granting are planned for some years in the future.

This 'You at World University' is the page where you can orchestrate your education, teaching and learning. It's a budding academic social networking site, like G +, and through it, you will be able to participate in the interactive WUaS community, register for classes, generate your transcript, if you matriculate in the Bachelor's, Ph.D., Law or MD programs, see your grades. It's also one of many places where you can suggest how learning at WUaS can be both more fun and innovative.

Like Wikipedia with MIT Open Course, Ware, WUaS is open and free. Add your name, your avatar's name, or you pseudonym, and an email address, etc., below, to find your way into the worldwide, all languages and countries, WUaS community.

With friendly greetings, Scott http://scottmacleod.com

WUaS Idea- and Academic Resources

Ideas

I'm curious about ways, in this WUaS information technology planning phase, in which open source grading, and importantly, secure registrar/transcript (for accredited universities in many languages software can be programmed / coded with Intuit's Quickbooks Premier Online + for donor outreach, paying interns and employees, for the WUaS bookstore / computer store / musical instrument store, for taxes in many languages (e.g. TurboTax +), and Quickbooks' history of integrated finance software in many, many languages, at World University and School's - 'You at WUaS' - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/You_at_World_University - and to define further what WUaS will need IT-wise in its academic registrar, and how to get there. WUaS would like You at WUaS to become a robust social networking site for students, for the conference method, and for musicians, perhaps building on the conference method and G+ video conferencing.

Check out the wiki information technologies and data plan at WUAS: http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/WUaS_Information_Technologies_and_Data_Plan. Eventually WUaS wants 'secure registrar' - https:// (e.g. like Vanguard Mutual Funds) and Wikipedia openness - in all 3000-8000 languages and 220-ish countries.

... will look to integrate Academia.edu's paper publishing at WUaS, perhaps here at 'You at WUaS' - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/You_at_World_University.

Publish my article in a WUaS academic journal in this subject
