The first MOOC of TU/e will be uploaded in April, 2014. It will be put together by prof.dr.ir. Bert Blocken of the Department of Built Environment. The course title is ‘Sports and Building Aerodynamics’. The video lecture production is part of a wide-scale plan to use more digital education at TU/e.
 
TU/e wants to interest the world in what it’s good at by presenting the MOOCs, as well as enthuse and recruit potential faculty and students with its continued education.
 
The university hopes each course will have at least 10,000 registered users. From that number peer groups become highly effective: any participant will have its question answered quickly, regardless of their time zone and location.
