Open Courses

An Open Course consists of videos, interactive elements, and automated assessment. A global community of educators and learners collaborate around this content, learning with and from each other.

For Institutions of Higher Education

The Showcase Project

Educators from your university use modern technology and didactics to showcase their teaching excellence. Given the right topic you can attract tens of thousands of students from around the globe - and the media attention that goes with it.

"There's a tsunami coming."

— John Hennessy, President Stanford University
on the importance of Open Courses.

Student Recruiting

Tens of thousands of students from around the world take a course hosted by your university. Our digital infrastructure enables you to identify the best and provides you with an opportunity to recruit them from Master's or Ph.D. programmes.

Your University as a Brand

Open Course students are constantly in touch with your university's brand. Thus the entire institution benefits from the brand building effects of an Open Course.

For Professors

Global Reach

iversity can provide you with the stage you need to reach a larger audience. An Open Course enables you to establish global reach. Who knows - maybe you will be the next rockstar professor?

For Companies

A Stadium Full of Engineers

Tens of thousands of potential customers and employees are in close contact with your brand for the duration of a full semester. They benefit from your knowledge, creating a special bond between them and your company.

Recruiting the Best

We provide you with tools to identify the best students, enabling you to get in touch with them directly. No matter whether you are a blue chip company or a hidden champion, an Open Course can be a great tool to find future interns, trainees, or professionals.

The Right Media Attention

Creating a free educational resource allows you to do well while doing good. Open Courses are a new, measurable form of CSR. Don't miss this opportunity to make your contribution to today's knowledge society.

— Stanford Report, October 15, 2012

Inter-institutional Community

Existing Learning Management Systems (LMS) and research platforms are typically insular solutions. iversity is a community of over 50,000 users from over 60 countries - connect with your colleagues across the globe!

Closed Community

iversity offers institutions the option to create a sub-community within the existing iversity community. This community connects all members of the organisation to connect in a secure environment - be it a course, a research project, or a study group. If you have questions about the advantages and features of this community solution, do not hesitate to contact us!

Research Groups and Conferences

iversity facilitates the collaboration in research groups as well as the communication among participants in the context of conferences. Using the same platform for research, teaching, and events reduces the administrative overhead of our users.

Online Self-Assessment

The Online Self-Assessment (OSA) allows students to learn about a given programme in an interactive way on the basis of multimedia content. Mixing information and assessment elements students can find out if a certain programme is right for them. The OSA thus can help to reduce an institution's dropout rate.
