Goals

• Explore how to integrate Open Educational Materials in on-campus education •  Benefits for students •  Benefits for teachers •  Benefits for OpenCourseWare (awareness, use,

improvement)

• Explore if/how student performance can benefit from OER & other existing supporting initiatives

• Focus: STUMBLE Courses, small pilots


DelftX

Extras: addi$onal services and resources. More support services

Essen+als: reference materials. Publish the official course materials as reference

Addi+onals: Broading, in depth, supplement. Extra OERs to improve the course

Guidance: Tailored to need. F2F and online tutoring

Benefits for students according to students


DelftX

• General opinion •  Less is more! Don’t offer to much! •  What’s in it for me?

“How to use to pass this course?”

• Usage •  Used as reference materials (30-35% under 120 and 700+ students) •  Mostly in preparation for exams

• Guidance •  Has a high threshold

• Self tests •  Very useful for difficult items


DelftX

Benefits for students according to lecturer


DelftX

• … seem to be better prepared for class

• … ask more questions

• … ask better questions

•  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/function to use…”

• … actively ask for help (Structural Analysis and design)

Students…


DelftX

Did study results increase?

•  Differential Equations: Yes, but valid?

•  Structural Analysis and Design: still unknown (exam results not in yet)


DelftX

Finding and Integrating OER in Education

• Materials •  Less is more! “Why should I use it?” •  Approved by teacher! •  Explanatory, not just answers

•  Difficult to find OER fitting the courses (in opinion of student assistants)

• There has to be added value for OER! •  Refresh prior knowledge

•  Application of abstract processes

•  Alignment between courses

Conclusions

It’s not the materials, but the activities that matter!


DelftX

Added value of Integrating OER in class: Levels of impact

•  1. Change nothing, OER as reference materials

•  2. Use OER as example, integrated as an addition

•  3. Redesign education (Flip Classroom):

Reversed Teaching Prof. Mr. Dr. Ir. Sicco Santema TU Delft

Youtube Fridays Prof. Matthew W. Liberatore, Prof. Charles Vestal Colorado School of Mines Peer Instruction Prof. Eric Mazur Harvard


DelftX

Next steps

•  Apply lessons to the same courses

•  Explore other tools to facilitate student use of OER (Feedback Fruits)

•  Broaden scope to rest of TU Delft Campus

•  Aim for high level impact interventions
