TU Delft OCW in the media June 8, 2009

Where do we go from here ? General: TU Delft policy: not only open access of educational materials: All dissertations (full text); Multi-media. 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.

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)
