Title Author Spotlight: Enabling the continual transformation of coastal dynamics education Degree of recognition International Media name/outlet Open Publishing Media type Web Duration/Length/Size Circa 913 words Country/Territory Netherlands Date 23/04/21 Description Approximately half the world’s population lives and works within a couple of hundred kilometres of a coastline – there is a thirst for coastal dynamics knowledge at every shore. This is why, since its publication in February this year, the open textbook “Coastal Dynamics” by Dr. Judith Bosboom, senior lecturer Coastal Engineering at the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Geosciences, and Prof. Marcel Stive, Emeritus Professor of Coastal Engineering, has now been downloaded almost 4000 times in more than 36 countries. The new open textbook, available as a PDF freely downloadable on the TU Delft OPEN Publishing platform, has enabled over 600 pages of knowledge of coastal systems to cross borders, from China to Mexico. What was the incentive for Judith and Marcel to turn the lecture notes for their Coastal Dynamics course into an open textbook? Which obstacles did they encounter along the way and what were the results? URL https://doi.org/10.5074/blog.20210423 Persons J. Bosboom, M.J.F.
