E-learn Weblog of Willem van Valkenburg

Although a lot of attention is going to MOOC, our OCW website is still very alive and kicking. In this blog I will give you a update of our activities.

Courses

In 2014 we published 27 new courses. In total we have 150 courses on ocw.tudelft.nl. That is 4 more than last year. Important part of this is that we publish the course materials of our MOOCs on OCW-website. Below is an graph to show the grow of courses since we started.

The top 5 of most visited courses in 2014 were:

1. Analog Integrated Circuit Design
2. information Literacy I
3. Delft Design Guide
4. Bio Inspired Design
5. Petroleum Geology

Visitors

The number of visitors is still growing. In the last quarter we had on average 1280 visitors per day. 30% of the visitors are from the Netherlands, the rest is from abroad. Since the launch of the website in October 2007 we had now more than a million visits to the website.

The visits cam from all over the world (221 countries according to Google Analytics). Most visitors, besides the Netherlands, came from:

1. US (10%)
2. India (7%)
3. Belgium (4%)
4. UK (4%)
5. Germany (4%)

Although the absolute number of visitors from the Netherlands increased, the percentage dropped from 43% to 30%. So we got a lot more visitors from abroad. There was a big increase from visitors from the US and India. I think this is related to our MOOCs, because that are the top countries for our mooc students.

Award

This year we received the OCW Consortium Award for oustanding website at the Global Conference in Ljubljana.

Plans for 2015

In 2015 we will make some adjustments to the website. Our planning is to publish 30 new courses.
