DIGIPEDIA

About us

DigiPedia is a new digital platform providing comprehensive software tutorials to students and life-long learners around the globe. The main goal is to provide enhanced support to students by teaching and refining their digital skills to complement the courses at TU Delft. The platform provides software learning materials in one single location so it is easy to find and to use. Due to the fact that the content is open source (see license information below), it also serves as a learning platform for others around the world who want to improve their digital skills.

DigiPedia is funded by the BK Quality Agreement Kwaliteitsafspraken Projecten (WSV) from the Bouwkunde Faculty at TU Delft and by the Open Science Funding from the TU Delft Library.

How it started!

DigiPedia is the second iteration of TOI-Pedia, a digital repository of course material, tutorials, and software documentation related to the application of ICT in Architecture, Design and education. TOI-Pedia contained the teaching material for the Design Informatics (TOI) courses of Bouwkunde at TU Delft. TOI-Pedia was started as an initiative in 2006 by the chair of Design Informatics for the AET department. DigiPedia now expands on the tutorials previously offered, by hosting tutorials about digital skills for the entire Bouwkunde faculty.

Open Education

The Open Education program at TU Delft is designed to foster the adoption and adaptation of teaching and learning methods through open educational resources (OER). The program aims to make education more accessible and affordable for students by building on existing practices such as OpenCourseware and MOOCs. The development of DigiPedia is in part funded by the Open Education program. Not only is the content open source, the platform is also open-source and it is possible for other faculties and universities to deploy their own online tutorial platform. If you are interested in learning more, please contact us through the Feedback page.

Thank you!

A large team of people helped to make DigiPedia a reality! DigiPedia consists of the DigiPedia platform and of the teaching material made available via the platform. The teaching material uploaded in DigiPedia is developed mostly by TU Delft teachers and other staff members working in Education. The platform has been developed under the supervision of a TU Delft Team.
