“I chose TU Delft
because while doing the
MOOCs, I could only
imagine the level of
expertise and facilities
the universities has.”

25. 25
First Micromaster student
• First student completed our Micromaster on Solar
Energy Engineering in October
• He is originally from Lebanon
• He was admitted to the MSc Electrical Engineering
and started last September
• He gets a waiver for 16 of the 120 ECs

26. 2. Enriching portfolio

27. Enrich student’s portfolio with
courses from leading universities
There are so many great MOOCs available
(but also a lot of bad ones)

Interesting findings
• Campus students were the beta-testers
of the MOOC
• The MOOC was used to create a new
campus course
• Cycles of improvement at campus and
online
• Direct access in LMS vs. Interaction with
a broader community in MOOC

37. 37
Teacher’s Perspective
• Engagement of campus students
(Flipped classroom)
• Study the material together
• Most cases an increase in the final
grade and a decrease on students
retention
• More use of OER
• Professionalization of teachers

38. 38
Arno Smets – Solar Energy Course
• 30% more material than in the classical classroom
• Pass rates up from 71% to 89%
• Grades up from 6.51 to 7.09 (on a scale from 1 to 10)
• 69% of students preferred flipped classroom

Blended learning
From TU Delft vision on education:
• Further developing different types of
education, including a blend of online
and on-campus education

43. The project partners embrace a
multilevel framework in order to
tackle conceptual and
implementation issues at the
course level (micro), at the
strategic level (meso) and with
the intent to give relevant input
to governmental policy (macro).

Research in open education
https://onlinelearningresearch.weblog.tudelft.nl
• Currently a team of 4 Phds
• Research backgrounds in user modeling, information retrieval, big data
processing and learning technologies.
• Available data:
• Online education student data based on 2M enrollments.
• Pre-survey, mid-survey, and post-survey data (500K+
responses).
• edX course data on 90+ MOOCs.

48. Research goals
1. Gain actionable insights into learner behaviours at scale.
a. Data science
b. Big data processing
2. Increase our knowledge about learners by looking beyond
the learning platform.
a. Web data analytics
3. Design and implement interventions that enable adaptive
learning at scale.
a. Web engineering
b. Human-centered design
c. Learning technologies
Data
Knowledge
Application to
learning
gain insights
from data
design systems
based on
insights
deploy systems
in practice

49. Learning analytics for learners
Do learners change their behaviour when confronted
with their learning performance relative to that of
successful learners?

testing setup
Dan Davis, Guanliang Chen, Ioana Jivet, Claudia Hauff, and Geert-Jan Houben. Encouraging
Metacognition & Self-Regulation in MOOCs through Increased Learner Feedback. LAL Workshop 2016.
5,462 learners
were exposed to
the intervention

50. Use of MOOCs for Research
The potential of solar energy:
• Light green is high potential
(best markets)
• Dark is less interesting
• Gray is no reliable data.
The probability of
blackouts of the
electricity network:
• Light color is little chance
• Black is more likely

51. Dissemination of Research
GENTLE project
made Nuclear
Energy MOOC
ENVISION project
made 5 MOOCs
on business model
innovation
EIT Health made
a MOOC about
Healthy Aging in 6
steps
