Brief History

• The Hub‐zero platform at Purdue was funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF)

• The Nano‐electronics group started NanoHUBUto provide a few courses targeted at PhD students 

• Purdue’s then Provost Tim Sands announced plans to open the platform to the rest of campus

• Ananth Iyer asked to lead this effort on behalf of the Provost’s office in July 2012.

Path forward• Share all technology choices with Purdue faculty and serve as a resource for faculty

• Incorporate faculty learning outcomes assessment and input to improve course structure and quality

• Future looking ideas – leverage large datasets at Purdue and elsewhere, immersive interdisciplinary courses, flipped classroom etc.

• Use of best in class tools (Mutiple LMSs, Kaltura, 3Play, Gengo, Videography, Marketing techniques)

• Faculty lead  Evaluation / Quality teams2210/7/2014

Closing thoughts• Faculty have to remain connected • Our campus students need to get access • Co‐exist with existing structures and governance• Focus on completion of courses – requires oversight by 

local faculty or other responsible entities• New collaboration possibilities in the digital space • It’s not about the technology• It’s about leveraging all the technology available to deliver 

the education• Research groups can educate and sustain their graduate 

students by developing online content ….and help the world…..we hope to prove that..
