2. Motives


Context of HE:

Internationalisation as a condition for excellence

International competition to get the best students, best education, best research

Bridging the gap-problems causes increased heterogeneity

Student as customer: higher expectations

Increase in number of students versus decrease in government funding

Opportunities of the digital age


From a university perspective

Core tasks university is to deliver know-how and building knowledge networks in an international context.

• Way to improve quality of education

• Reputation/ branding

• Irreversible trend


From a faculty perspective

•Reputation/Exposure/Visibility

•Additional contribution to knowledge networks

•Attracting new students and researchers

•Easy access (material is part of a joint degree)

•Preparation for future students

•Opening up for new connections worldwide

•Investing in future learning and education methods/basis for blended learning.


“EPA wants to be recognized as an

international education program.

With OCW we can! ”

3. The future


Changes in Sources of Information

• Middle Ages• Source of information = Professor

• Printing Press• Source of information = University

• Digital Age• Source of information = Internet


Implications for the institution?

• We are no longer THE source of information

• What does a university have to offer?• Content: information• Context: explanation, interpretation of information• Feedback: examinations, assessment• Reputation• Accredited diploma• Social network


TU Delft:There were also unexpected benefits to Open Access

• Video lectures:• Big success within the university• and made it possible to start with iTunesU

• OCW:• Proved to be a stepping stone for bridging the gap:

pre university education-university, college-university, international students

• Gives access to big HE innovation network: US, EU, Africa, China, Japan ..


Possibilities with OpenCourseWare

• Offer blended learning programmes• Start of knowledge centres around the courses• Improve study selection (introduction course of every

programme)• More education methods for our own students• Freedom to choice: on campus, online or self-study• For joint degrees• Virtual cooperation with other (technical) universities• Knowledge transfer to developing countries• Serve LifeLongLearners with interessanting subjects,

added with (paid) summer course
