Benefits for students
according to students
• General opinion
• Less is more! Don’t offer to much!
• What’s in it for me?
• Usage
• Used as reference materials (30-35% under 120 and 700+ students)
• Mostly in preperation for exams
• Guidance
• Has a high threshold
• Self tests
• Very useful for difficult items

Benefits for students
according to lecturer
• Students seem to be better prepared for class
• Students ask more questions
• Questions are better funded
• First: “How should I start calculating…”
• Now: I started with this calculation, but halfway came across a problem
and don’t know which of these two options to take/value to use…”
• Students actively ask for help (Structural Analysis and design)
• More materials to pick from
• There is support to improve education

Finding and Integrating
OER in Education
• There has to be added value for OER
• Refresh prior knowledge
• Application of abstract processes
• Alignment between courses
• Less is more!
• Approved by teacher!
• Explanatory, not just answers
• Difficult to find OER fitting the courses (in opinion of student
assistants)
DelftX
open.tudelft.nl/education | DelftX | OpenCourseWare | iTunes U
Conclusions
• Increased awareness of OER
• Added value of Integrating OER in class
• Levels of impact
• 1. Change nothing, but find great OER
• 2. Integrate finding and using OER in education better
• 3. Redesign education (Flip Classroom): Examples:
OER should not be an addition, but part
of the CORE of Education

Next steps
• Apply lessons to the same
courses
• Do pilots with other tools
(Feedback Fruits)
• Broaden scope to rest of TU
Delft
• Aim for high level impact
