The pilot phase (2007/2008)

Evaluation of the pilot phase

Outline for the next phase

Pilot Phase OCW-project: Characteristics Start: May 2007 Initiated by the central board 6 pilots (MSc-programmes) on a voluntary basis: Micro-Electronics, Offshore Engineering, Drinking Water Sustainable development, Nano science, Biomedical Engineering ‘ Content centred’ model like MIT Technical infrastructure: Hive (repository) and Typo3 (CMS) Close cooperation: Library, departments of ICT and Education, pilots Steering group headed by the rector magnificus Basis for the future (technical, organisational, financial implications, further growth) Completed: September 2008

Start: May 2007

Initiated by the central board

6 pilots (MSc-programmes) on a voluntary basis:

Micro-Electronics, Offshore Engineering, Drinking Water

Sustainable development, Nano science, Biomedical Engineering

‘ Content centred’ model like MIT

Technical infrastructure: Hive (repository) and Typo3 (CMS)

Close cooperation: Library, departments of ICT and Education, pilots

Steering group headed by the rector magnificus

Basis for the future (technical, organisational, financial implications, further growth)

Completed: September 2008

Board

Core tasks university is to deliver know-how and building knowledge networks in an international context.

Way to improve quality of education

Reputation/ branding

Irreversible trend

Why this initiative (2) 6 Pilots (different motives) Reputation/Exposure/Visibility; Additional contribution to knowledge networks; Attracting new students and researchers (clear picture of what TU Delft is doing); Easy access (material is part of a joint degree); Preparation for future students; Opening up for new connections worldwide; Investing in future learning and education methods/basis for blended learning.

Workflow:

Evaluation OCW: Provisional results (1) Google Analytics October 2007 – May 2008 (first round of pilots): 28,000 visits from 23,000 unique visitors with different IP-addresses (100 visits per day average). Visitors from 169 countries / 4196 cities: significant geographical exposure of educational material. Note: There are more visitors because the material is also published at other websites of the faculties involved (data unfortunately not available).

General

High appreciation of the initiative;

Vey positive about the quality of the content; TU Delft ‘signature’ is important;

Clear website structure

Where do we go from here ? General: TU Delft policy: not only open access of educational materials: All dissertations (full text); Multi-media. Recently, a project has started for the development of a multi-media portal for the disclosure of all streaming video (lecturers), digital cartographic material and historical collections; Open Access publishing in journals More materials are available in digital and new formats (games, VodCast). Tremendous growth in the use of streaming video. How do we make optimal uses of these developments?

Multi-media. Recently, a project has started for the development of a multi-media portal for the disclosure of all streaming video (lecturers), digital cartographic material and historical collections;

Open Access publishing in journals

More materials are available in digital and new formats (games, VodCast). Tremendous growth in the use of streaming video. How do we make optimal uses of these developments?

Where do we go from here ? Challenges Sustainability: how to create (financial) incentives for staff to publish educational materials? Different motives: how to create a business model when departments have different motives to participate? Examples of motives : Drinking water: more international students, OCW will be integrated in the blended learning modules Nanoscience: reputation, more master students Industrial Design: Open source design Micro Electronics: collaboration with industries (sponsorships)
