Editor's Notes

  • #3 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 Access to Educational Materials, empower institution’s reputation example: publishing OCW led to Cooperation with ITB Bandung and Mozambique institutions Online 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 audience MOOCs: Online, Massive Goal: strenghten reputation, enlarge access to Higher Education
