5. | Student Projects

6. |6 Example Student Project: World Solar Challenge

7. |7 Pilot Phase OCW-project: Characteristics Start: May 2007 6 pilots (MSc-programmes) on a voluntary basis: Micro-Electronics, Offshore Engineering, Drinking Water Sustainable development, Nano science, Biomedical Engineering Technical infrastructure: Hive (repository) and Typo3 (CMS) Steering group headed by the rector magnificus Completed: October 2008 ‘Content centred’ model like MIT -using existing courses

8. |8 Why this initiative (1) Board Core tasks university is to deliver know-how and building knowledge networks in an international context Way to improve quality of education Reputation/ branding

9. |9 Why this initiative (2) 6 Pilot programmes (different motives) Reputation/Exposure Additional contribution to knowledge networks Attracting new students and researchers Easy access for students: material is part of a joint degree Preparation for future students Opening up for new connections worldwide; Investing in future learning methods/basis for blended learning

10. |10 Results / Oct 08 22 courses published Bureau OpenER is in place (lean & mean) Workflow has been defined Technical infrastructure in place TU Delft (board) member of OCW Consortium Evaluation report (in progress): external recognition Green light for the next phase

15. |15 Evaluation pilot phase: set up Google Analytics Feedback forms on the website Interviews with potential users:  Lecturers from other institutes  Prospective students  Companies in the field of drinking water (public sector), offshore engineering (like Shell) and Micro-Electronics (Philips, Texas Instruments)

16. |16 Evaluation Aspects:

17. |17 Evaluation OCW: Results (1) Google Analytics October 2007 – May 2008: 28,000 visits from 23,000 unique visitors (100 visits/day). Going up to > 200 unique visitors/day since May 2008. Visitors from 169 countries / 4196 cities: significant geographical exposure of educational material Materials reused in e.g. Tanzania, Egypt, Netherlands Note: There are more visitors because the material is also published at other websites of the faculties involved (data unfortunately not available).

18. |18 Evaluation OCW: Results (2) General High appreciation of the initiative; Very positive about the quality of the content; TU Delft ‘signature’ is important; Clear website structure Could you also publish courses in the field of ….?? Can we jointly develop courses??

19. |19 Evaluation OCW: Results (3) Interviewees recommendations More information for users about the entrance level required to understand the resources More interactivity & functionalities Create ‘depository’ where users (companies) can upload and publish their own material Communities Self study

20. |20 Evaluation OCW: Results (4) Questions from external users: Updates? How can users can contribute or interact with the university? Services around OCW?

21. |21 Next phase Recent discussions with directors of education TU Delft Keyword: Integrate OCW in regular activities

22. |22 Outline for the second phase until 2010 OCW portal for 3 different target groups: secondary schools Ba/Ma (preparatory courses) Master students/ LLL More functionalities Editorial board Gradual growth in the number of publications PhD-research on OER External Sponsorship

23. |23 1.Challenges: from repository to community Add website functionalities: who else used these resources number of views rating, discussion area.. Link to other university resources (integration) Depository: other people can add content Additional services like customized support/courses, student projects Communities for people who have shared interests

24. |24 2. Challenges: business model Business model: internal Create incentives for publication in university financial model Make clear that OCW can reduce other costs (marketing) Embed OCW in regular educational activities Business model: external External sponsorship Create paid services?

25. |25 Thesis OCW = open innovation => generates knowledge i.e. deserves strong support from universities & governments
