TU Delft OpenCourseWare
What it is
TU Delft OpenCourseWare publishes free, university-level educational materials arranged as courses. Anyone can view the resources online without registering or meeting academic prerequisites. Course contents vary and may include planning materials, evaluation tools, thematic lessons, quizzes, experiments, design exercises, open questions, and projects; the Modern Distributed Systems course includes those latter activities while covering cloud, edge, and big-data systems. Resources may be downloaded, copied, distributed, translated, and modified under their stated reuse terms. Most materials use a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 license, requiring attribution, noncommercial use, and the same terms for adaptations. Materials work on the web, macOS, and Windows, although older browsers may have problems. Videos play through TU Delft’s Collegerama site with MediaSite Viewer. OCW provides no university credit, degree, certificate, or faculty access. Some content may be missing because of intellectual-property restrictions, and instructors may withhold assignment or exam solutions. Users can send questions or feedback through a contact form.
