Open Education

| About

TU Delft has adopted the definition of the Open Education Consortium.

“Open education encompasses resources, tools and practices that employ a framework of open sharing to improve educational access and effectiveness worldwide.”

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 Open Courseware and MOOCs. Support includes training, advice, tools and infrastructures, for instance for sharing and reusing teaching materials.
