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

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
