Guerra Medina Title Breaking the waves - the Coastal Dynamics Open Codebook Degree of recognition National Media name/outlet TU Delft Media type Print Duration/Length/Size Circa 774 words Country/Territory Netherlands Date 1/03/24 Description In the first 32 months after its publication in 2021, the Coastal Dynamics Open Textbook (CDoc) was downloaded 15,500 times by users from at least 41 countries. At TU Delft, it supports the MSc course Coastal and Estuarine Systems at the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Geosciences. Despite its success, two challenges remained in maximizing the (re)usability of the textbook and embedding Open Educational Resources in teaching.
“We wanted to provide interaction functionality to the textbook, so that students can reinforce their skills and knowledge in an active learning by-doing process,” says Judith Bosboom, senior lecturer and one of the two authors of the textbook. “We also wanted to keep our teaching materials up-to-date and establish a strong link between Open Research,
Open Data and Open Education.”
Co-funded by the Open Education Stimulation Fund, a team of lecturers, assistant professors, and PhD candidates set out to develop the Coastal Dynamics Open Codebook. “The Coastal Codebook uses open-source software to provide interactive tutorials that help the students reflect on the textbook material,” says José Antolínez, Assistant Professor and co-developer of the open codebook. “It provides coding examples, example datasets, and knowledge sources the students can use for doing their own exercises. It then is their task to reach the objectives we set.”URL https://filelist.tudelft.nl/News/2024/03_March/Library/OESF%20booklet_%20projects%20of%202023%20-%20March%202024.pdf#page=12 Persons J.
