Just some questions

• Are there lecturers in the audience?

• Are you using Blackboard?

• Are you using OCW?

CT4471 course (2006)

• Traditional F2F lecturing

• Experiments in laboratory

• Blackboard

• Lecture notes

• Pdfs of ppt files


Challenges• Better educational material for students

• Diverse inflow of students • different Dutch universities• different countries, so different background

knowledge• different times in a year (“harde knip”)• minors, necessary to offer courses 2 times a year

• Individualization of education• MSc program should be more tailor made

• Make your lecture material accessible for everyone in the world

On-line assignments


Instruction videos of experiments


Also with foreign subtitles


OCW = Blackboard• OCW course is making use of Bb layout

(familiarity)• Same functionality as Bb course, however

• Supported by Collegerama

• Streaming video in combination with

Powerpoint

• On-line assignments

• Laboratory instruction videos

• Lectures once a year Always available• Only in Delft Everywhere available


Evaluation• Students

• Lecturing material always available (any time, any place, any language)

• Language problems/missing lecture/repeating lecture

• Lecturers• Quality improvement• Making use of Bb• Exposure of your course• Attraction LLL and foreign PhD students

• Other educational organizations• Make use of OCW

• Students (in paid employment)• Don’t have to follow every lecture in Delft



Use by other institutes & companies

• International universities• AdeKUS (Surinam), ITB Bandung (Indonesia), ICE WaRM

consortium (Australia), Egypt

• Visitors from 173 countries• The Netherlands

• Saxion Hogeschool (Enschede), Hanzehogeschool

Groningen, Hogeschool Amsterdam• Drinking water companies

• Oasen, Vitens, Dunea, Evides, PWN, VEWIN


Further development• Making use of new tools

• Blended delivery mode, • Courses in smaller modules• VODcasts, YouTube

• BSc courses in English language/minors• PR

• Website• International Water Organization (IWA)• Alumni network

• Convince other lecturers to use OCW


Possible drawbacks• All your lecture material is available and

accessible for everyone in the world, give away for free?

• What if there is a mistake in a presentation?• Copyright of lecture material• Everyone can see how you give lectures (also

when you have a bad day)• Everyone can hear how you struggle using

the English language• Student will not show up anymore during

regular lectures
