6. If There Is No Sharing
there is no education
Slides 2-5 adapted from David Wiley
7. Education is a renewable resource
It can enrich both those who receive it and those who give it
It can be shared multiple times without being depleted
New generations can build on it and increase its value

25. What is Open Education?
Open Education encompasses resources, tools and
practices that employ a framework of open sharing to
improve educational access and effectiveness worldwide.
Open Education combines the traditions of knowledge
sharing and creation with 21st century technology to
create a vast pool of openly shared educational resources
while harnessing today’s collaborative spirit to develop
educational approaches that are more responsive to
learner’s needs.
33. Saide's African Storybook Project is an initiative to stimulate the provision
and use of openly licensed stories in local African languages for early
reading. The project is conducting pilots in rural and urban sites across
Kenya, Uganda, Lesotho and South Africa.
The vision of the African Storybook Project is for every African child to
have enough stories in a language familiar to them to practise their
reading skills and learn to love reading.

Energy’ using the DelftX/edX MOOC
Prelimary results
• Arno Smets was able to cover ~30% more material than I used to do in the classical classroom
concept
• The passing rates went up from averaged 71% in the period 2010 – 2013 up to 89% in 2014.
• The average grade went up from 6.51 (on a scale from 1 to 10) for the period 2010-2013 to 7.09 in
2014, showing an increase of 0.58.
• 69% of the students prefers the flipped classroom approach above the classical teaching approach.
Only 13% prefers the classical classroom approach.

In regions where the percentage is still very low, such as Sub-Saharan Africa, the growth rate is among the highest in the world.

The role of the university is also changing. The way we have perceived this role for the last 150 years is changing. The way we have taught education is changing. It’s not about knowledge dissemination.
· A bachelor or master programme is not enough anymore.
· Dominant images that emerge in trend analyses are that the labour market is developing more towards a dynamic market. That requires people who can demonstrate resilience, agility, who are able to adapt to changing circumstances, who take initiative and are able to stay in charge with work and private life.
· Students from TU Delft are trained to work in an complex, international environment, in demanding roles to develop appropriate innovative solutions and to improve societal outcomes. The basic set of skills acquired at the TU Delft gives them a very good starting point, but is insufficient for a sustainable career of 40+ years. T
· The knowledge economy reinforces the need for lifelong learning and universities can play an important role in it.
· We should get rid of the concrete wall and gap between initial and post-initial education, life long learning is what we need.
· The learners we will attract and teach are going to be less homogenic and we will need more flexible learning paths.

The World Bank has recently launched the Open Knowledge Repository, an online collection of World Bank publications released under Creative Commons licensing. Through the repository, their research and reports are published online for educators, researchers and students around the world. Rather than making their information only available to those who can afford to pay for it, now lecturers from any university to incorporate reports and data from the World Bank into their classes. In addition, anyone with an interest in topics ranging from education reform in Mozambique to Afghanistan’s opium economy challenges can now read the World Bank’s reports on these topics online.

The Open Education Consortium is a worldwide community of hundreds of higher education institutions and associated organizations committed to advancing open education and its impact on global education.
OpenCourseWare: Course Materials available for use and re-use, for free, worldwide (700 visitors a day). No certificates, but pilot with Study Badges (informal certificates of Study Skills)Goal: Enlarge Access to Educational Materials, empower institution’s reputation
example: publishing OCW led to Cooperation with ITB Bandung and Mozambique institutions
Online Distance Education: Pilot starts september 2013, Students need to enroll but are not physically in Delft (everything happens online). Small numbers of enrolled studentsd (20?)Goal: provide a Masters degree via Online Education to those who want but are unable to come to Delft, enlarge audience
MOOCs: Online, MassiveGoal: strenghten reputation, enlarge access to Higher Education
Already more than 350.000 enrolments for our MOOCs from all over the world
