Students bring open educational resources to life

A joint-degree, offered by Delft University of Technology and Erasmus Universiteit Rotterdam, between the nanobiology programme and the TU Delft Library involved teachers and students working together to create an integrated set of open textbooks. Open Interactive Textbooks is now planned to become a publishing service that is available to all teaching staff at TU Delft.

In order to develop a set of tailored and high-quality education materials, the project brought together a group of teachers with both nanobiology and design students. They set out to find existing open educational materials that could be adopted and developed into something suitable for open publication. Third year nanobiology student Sara Banovska was one of the students hired to work on the project. She wants to be involved in education in the future.
