Open Education

The project supports teachers in adopting and adapting teaching and learning methods through open education. It also helps to keep education accessible and affordable for students. The project builds on current practices such as OpenCourseware and MOOCs. Support includes training, advice, tools and infrastructures, for instance for sharing and reusing teaching materials.

Main goals Open Education

To support our ambitions for open education, we have formulated the following goals:

  • By 2028, open education is regarded as the norm in the BSc, MSc, and PhD programs at TU Delft. This is refected by the following goals:
  • TU Delft formally recognizes the process of creating and using open educational resources in courses as part of the evaluation criteria for our academic staff as they progress in their academic careers.
  • There is a technical infrastructure for creating, publishing, and sharing open educational resources, managed by the library and available to all TU Delft staff.
  • All TU Delft teaching staff are provided with regular opportunities for professional development in open education skills.
  • The use and creation of open educational resources become an integral part of the didactic approach in the design of courses. This is refected through the adoption of open pedagogy in the TU Delft vision on education.
  • A regular internal funding opportunity is established for grassroots projects in open education.
  • At least 200 unique BSc, MSc, and/or PhD courses at TU Delft are designed around Open Educational Resources.

It all results into three initiatives supported by a grassroots program:

  • Open Educational Resources;
  • Open Pedagogy;
  • Open Platforms
