Benefits for students
according to students
• General opinion
• Less is more! Don’t offer to much!
• What’s in it for me?
• Usage
• Used as reference materials (30-35% under 120 and 700+ students)
• Mostly in preperation for exams
• Guidance
• Has a high threshold
• Self tests
• Very useful for difficult items
19. open.tudelft.nl/education | DelftX | OpenCourseWare | iTunes U

Benefits for students
according to lecturer
• Students seem to be better prepared for class
• Students ask more questions
• Questions are better funded
• First: “How should I start calculating…”
• Now: I started with this calculation, but halfway came across a problem
and don’t know which of these two options to take/value to use…”
• Students actively ask for help (Structural Analysis and design)
• More materials to pick from
• There is support to improve education

Finding and Integrating
OER in Education
• There has to be added value for OER
• Refresh prior knowledge
• Application of abstract processes
• Alignment between courses
• Less is more!
• Approved by teacher!
• Explanatory, not just answers
• Difficult to find OER fitting the courses (in opinion of student
assistants)

Conclusions
• Increased awareness of OER
• Added value of Integrating OER in class
• Levels of impact
• 1. Change nothing, but find great OER
• 2. Integrate finding and using OER in education better
• 3. Redesign education (Flip Classroom): Examples:
OER should not be an addition, but part
of the CORE of Education

Next steps
• Apply lessons to the same
courses
• Do pilots with other tools
(Feedback Fruits)
• Broaden scope to rest of TU
Delft
• Aim for high level impact
interventions
Alternative title: “bringing OER into the classroom”
OpenCourseWare: Course Materials available for use and re-use, for free, worldwide (700 visitors a day). No certificates, but pilot with Study Badges (informal certificates of Study Skills)Goal: Enlarge Acces to Educational Materials, empower institution’s reputationexample: publishing OCW led to Cooperation with ITB Bandung and Mozambique institutionsOnline Distance Education: Pilot starts september 2013, Students need to enroll but are not physically in Delft (everything happens online). Small numbers of enrolled studentsd (20?)Goal: provide a Masters degree via Online Education to those who want but are unable to come to Delft, enlarge audienceMOOCs: Online, MassiveGoal: strenghten reputation, enlarge access to Higher Education
We’re putting more and more focus on having others use our OpenCourseWare materials
All examples are based on publishing, having others use our open materials.
OpenCourseWare materials are created and published for others. And re-used in education as cases in Design Education (Regonomics courses)
We chose to go for courses where improvements are welcome (Stumble courses) – there’s a need for helpAlso: preferably general courses available for more students across campusBut: Start small: 2 courses, 1 very general (DV, 120 students) and 1 more specific (SAD, 700 students)
First explore how students can benefit from OER and existing support initiativesSecond: publish as OCW Third: -apply what’s been set up in the same course and - broaden the scope to other courses (september 2013-2014)
Results in DV are higher, but last year was lower. Could be coincidence
We asked ourselves what is the added value of integrating OER? - It’s not about materials, but activities around itReversed Teaching – Prof. Mr. Dr. Ir.
