[Air-L] Lesson plans for teaching for a peaceful, diverse world that is safe for everyone

[Scott MacLeod]

Hi All,

CC World University and School, planning to offer online CC (so free)
Bachelor, Ph.D., Law and M.D. degrees as well as I.B. high school diplomas,
in all countries' main and official languages, is Friendly-informed, so
will take a kind of unprogrammed Quaker approach to "Lesson plans for
teaching for a peaceful, diverse world that is safe for everyone
" in creating WUaS's own CC OpenCourseWare (and likely building on what has
been taught at Haverford, Swarthmore, Earlham and Guilford colleges, for
example, all historic Quaker colleges).

WUaS plans to develop in Wikidata (Wikipedia's 4 year old database
developing with AI, machine learning and machine translation) while
accrediting on CC MIT OCW in its 7 languages - e.g.
https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/translated-courses/ - and CC Yale OYC. WUaS
seeks to become the accrediting Harvard / Stanford of the internet in all
countries' main and official languages.

As a wiki, anyone will be able to add course ware or resources to pages
such as this -
http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Peace_and_Social_Justice_Studies -
which will become more user friendly after we move into a new wiki.

Classes will occur in group video such as in Google group video Hangouts,
and in MIT UnHangouts.

WUaS is also planning wiki schools for open teaching and learning in all
7,097 living languages. Hopefully this all-languages' dialogue opportunity
among people who want to think together (with wik MIT / Yale academic
standards) will facilitate such peace-generation and learning as well.

Friendly regards,
Scott
