What TU Delft OpenCourseWare is
TU Delft OpenCourseWare publishes free university-level educational materials arranged as courses. Anyone can view the materials online without registering or meeting academic prerequisites. Course resources vary and may include planning materials, evaluation tools, and subject content. The Modern Distributed Systems course, for example, addresses cloud, edge, and big-data systems through quizzes, design exercises, experiments, open questions, and a final project. Resources may be downloaded, and materials may be copied, distributed, translated, and modified under their reuse terms. Most use a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 license, which requires attribution, restricts use to noncommercial purposes, and applies the same terms to adaptations. Videos play through TU Delft’s Collegerama site using MediaSite Viewer. OCW does not provide university credit, degrees, certificates, or access to TU Delft faculty. Some content may be unavailable due to intellectual-property restrictions, and instructors may withhold solutions to assignments or exams. Materials are intended for educators, students supplementing their studies, and self-learners. The listed platforms are web, macOS, and Windows.
