Mobile Learn


Usage @ TU Delft

• Around 300 unique logins daily


Experiences• Implementation is easy if you have the data available

• Mobile Learn and SingleSignOn is not a good combination!• Can’t save password

• Instructors should be aware of the way their course displays mobile

• Students want more:• Notifications• Video lectures


Volgende stappen

• Brainstorm gehouden: 81 APP-ideeën

• Uitgangspunten voor APPs gedefinieerd


Uitgangspunten geformuleerd

• als de app al bestaat, maken wij hem niet• eigen apps zijn gratis voor iedereen; gekochte apps zijn gratis

voor TU Delft medewerkers/studenten• de app is cultuurneutraal • de app draagt bij aan de doelstellingen van de TU Delft • de app komt beschikbaar voor diverse platformen (liefst

platformonafhankelijk)• TU Delft approved apps worden ondersteund• er is een app redactie, apps worden gemonitord en er is een

feedback loop • de inhoud van de app is actueel, correct en legaal (DRM vrij)• de privacy regels van de TU Delft zijn leidend (Wet

Bescherming Persoonsgegevens)


Toekomst …

In de toekomst maken studenten zelf applicaties voor mobiele devices die voorzien in hun behoeften. Dit betekent dat de TU Delft publieke services moet aanbieden die, gebaseerd op open standaarden, basis informatie leveren voor deze ‘apps’.
