This document provides an overview of MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) from TU Delft's perspective. It discusses what MOOCs are, how they are produced, and their impact. MOOCs allow TU Delft to educate people worldwide, increase its international reputation, and improve campus education by incorporating MOOC materials. They also enable new connections between education and research by providing data and environments for educational research projects. Overall, MOOCs have increased TU Delft's focus on education and set an example as an innovation program.
California Community College Faculty Motivation and Reflection on Open Textbo...Una Daly
Interviews were conducted with twelve faculty members at community colleges in California who adopted open textbooks in their teaching practice for one academic term or longer. The interviews queried faculty on motivation to undertake the adoption, pedagogical considerations, student savings and feedback, and support from other campus stakeholders.
Faculty were asked how their teaching and student learning was affected as a result of adopting an open textbook in their course. Specifically they were asked if they were collaborating more with other faculty members and whether they were now using a wider range of instructional materials in their courses. With regards to student learning, they were asked if they believed that student learning had improved or whether student retention had improved as a result of the adoption of an open and free textbook. Any unanticipated outcomes that had resulted from the adoption either in their own practice or with students was also queried.
In addition to the faculty and students, other stakeholders on campus are often involved in the decision and process to adopt an open textbook. College initiatives or pilot programs to increase access and equity were sometimes the instigators for making the change and other times it was strictly a faculty decision. Library, instructional design, and bookstore staff were other stakeholders who played roles in the adoption process.
Attend this presentation to better understand the motivations of college faculty who adopt open textbooks and how it affected their teaching practice. Hear about the challenges they encountered and any unexpected outcomes. Learn what students had to say about using open textbooks in the classroom and how it affected their learning and ability to be successful.

TU Delft is a strong supporter of Open. Therefor course contents in OpenCourseWare, iTunesU and MOOCs are shared under a Creative Commons license (CC BY NC SA). In 2014, edX provided Delft University of Technology with the opportunity to sublicense its DelftX MOOCs to regions where traditionally acces had been limited; EdRaak would translate DelftX MOOCs to increase access to the Arabic speaking region and XuetangX would do the same for the Mandarin speaking region, in adition overcoming the great Firewall of China. This opportunity also provided a challenge: How can we sublicense DelftX MOOCs (leading to revenue) if (in part) the contents are already available under an open (Creative Commons) license? In this paper and presentation we will share how Delft University of Technology tried to tackle this challenge to experiment with experiments leading to revenue generation while at the same time upholding its open policy.

Onze politici hebben een niet al te beste reputatie als het over rekenen gaat. We hadden al de blunders van Muyters en Weyts . Nu heeft ook Maggie De Block een niet al te goede beurt gemaakt in de Commissie van De Kamer op dinsdag 7 maart 2017.
Volgens de minister is het verschil tussen 7,91 miljard en 7,38 miljard euro immers 53 miljoen euro. In de werkelijkheid is het verschil uiteraard 530 miljoen euro.
Die klassieke rekenfout kan voorkomen worden door 7,910 miljard te schrijven of 7910 miljoen.
Een zaak is zeker: rekenfouten worden gemaakt door politici van alle partijen.

Modern Prospecting Techniques for Connecting with Prospects (from Sales Hacke...HubSpot
Sales is a difficult world to be in because buyers aren't putting up with salespeople anymore. Instead of helping and building relationships, sales reps are still focused on closing prospects - even when they aren't ready to buy! So buyers ignore them. Because of that, even great sales reps would be lucky to get on the phone with someone.
While buyers have evolved and become more sophisticated, sales reps and training programs have been slow to adapt to that change.
Learn actionable modern prospecting techniques you can apply immediately from two best selling authors and sales experts: Max Altschuler CEO of Sales Hacker, and Mark Roberge CRO of HubSpot.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

We offer MOOCs on the world-wide edX platform, next to world-class universities
Discussion with edX partner (high ranking) universities : How can our on campus students benefit more from our MOOCs and our collaboration?
A vision emerged: Virtual exchange of online courses
Main objective: Enrich the educational portfolio of our campus student, have them benefit from our Open & Online education
The main objective of this initiative is that our own campus students can enhance their portfolio.
Anka Mulder started this initiative and asked which other universities were interested to participate in the discussion. The alliance consists of 8 partners so far: 1. Rice university, 2. The university of British Columbia, 3. The university of Edinburgh, 4. TU Delft, 5. EPFL (Lausanne), 6. The university of Queensland, 7. The Hong Kong University of science and technology, 8. Australian National University. All partners are getting endorsement from their executive board now (half May every university should have approvement). Together we offer more than 100 MOOCs. All universities select 3 – 10 MOOCs to be part of this pilot. So we should get around 50 MOOCs in the basket. A hard condition within the alliance is that the MOOCs also have to be offered for credits for the students of the own university. This helps to trust the quality. The pilot project is not for MOOCs substituting our core curriculum, but only for electives. We are working on a coding system to describe our MOOCs. The producing university is responsible for preparing and grading the additional assessment.
All our MOOCs are used on campus
The plot shows for our learners that filled in the personality questionnaire the scores they receive on each of the five personality dimensions; the scores are somewhat different from the general population, in particular Openness to experience has a higher score distribution among MOOC learners than the general population
The table on the left shows the most common “motifs” (sequences of actions) learners create with their actions. We manually identified and clustered those motifs together. In the FP101x MOOC learners move through long sequences of quizzing, followed by binge watching; only in the third position is the motif of Lecture->Quiz_Complete which we initially expected to be the top motif.
The right image shows the learning tracker that we deployed to the 5,462 learners in the “Introduction to Drinking Water Treatment” MOOC (we employed A/B testing, thus had a control and test group); it is an image that is updated once a week. Each learner is compared to the average passing learner from last year according to 6 dimensions. The tracker was first shown to learners in Week 2 of the MOOC.
The plot on the left shows how the tracker changed learners’ behaviour: more learners in the test group submitted quizzes than the control group once the tracker was activated (week 2 and beyond). This implies that learners self-regulated their learning a bit better and became more self-aware of the learning process.
