Cephalanthera longifolia: How many languages (and the people in them) in India would you think would benefit from degree-granting universities (Bachelor, Ph.D., law and M.D. as well as I.B. high school, accrediting on CC MIT OCW in 7 languages and CC Yale OYC) - as the MITs/Harvards/Dukes of the internet? All 22 official languages (a few less or a few more) of its ~1700 languages?, By way of comparison, do you think Pakistan would benefit from an online CC MIT for free degrees in Urdu and Punjabi, or just in Urdu, or ...?, Wwiki schools for open teaching and learning in all languages in India (and in the world) - probably per http://glottolog.org/glottolog/language


Hi Ashi, 


Here, for example, is the beginning Surveillance - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Surveillance - wiki subject at World University and School (before we move to a new wiki emerging from Wikidata). 

And here's India World University and School - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/India - not yet in Hindi or any of the other 21 official languages there (again before World University moves to a new wiki emerging from Wikidata).  

Would you like to meet for a coffee at Stanford or in Palo Alto sometime to talk further about your talk and this? 

Best regards, Scott

Scott,

Thanks for your note.

I’m about to leave for a two month trip in India.

Perhaps we can meet after that?

Thanks, Ashish.

Hi Ashi,

Thanks for your reply as well. Spending 2 months in India (in the cool season) sounds great. Where are you heading? 

How many languages (and the people in them) in India would you think would benefit from degree-granting universities (Bachelor, Ph.D., law and M.D. as well as I.B. high school, accrediting on CC MIT OCW in 7 languages and CC Yale OYC) - as the MITs/Harvards/Dukes of the internet? All 22 official languages (a few less or a few more) of its ~1700 languages?

By way of comparison, do you think Pakistan would benefit from an online CC MIT for free degrees in Urdu and Punjabi, or just in Urdu, or ...? 

WUaS is planning wiki schools for open teaching and learning in all languages in India (and in the world) - probably per http://glottolog.org/glottolog/language

Meeting after you return would be great - perhaps sometime in January? 

Happy travels!

Bon voyage, Scott

Hi Amn, 

Very nice to talk and meet with you at Stanford yesterday. 

How many languages (and the people in them) in Pakistan would benefit from an online CC MIT for free degrees - in Urdu and Punjabi, or just in Urdu, or ..., so, would benefit from degree-granting universities (Bachelor, Ph.D., law and M.D. as well as I.B. high school, accrediting on CC MIT OCW in 7 languages and CC Yale OYC) - as the MITs/Harvards/Dukes of the internet? Regional languages in Pakistan?

WUaS is also planning wiki schools for open teaching and learning in all languages in Pakistan (and in the world) - probably per http://glottolog.org/glottolog/language.

Would you like to meet sometime for coffee or similar, Amn?

Very nice to meet you.

Best regards, Scott
