Feedback on twillo

With just a few clicks, we were able to make all of our materials available in a clear and organized manner after two years of development. Thanks to twillo and our collaboration with ORCA.nrw, these materials have greater visibility, so that our work can truly make a difference. Thank you!

Prof. Dr. Raja Herold-Blasius

University of Paderborn

What we particularly appreciate about twillo is that OER can be published and made visible with just a few clicks, as well as the team’s prompt and reliable support when we have questions. This has given us greater confidence in sharing our materials openly.

Dr. Melanie Beudels, Sven Hanses

University of Wuppertal

Working with OER is part of our daily routine. twillo provides us with excellent support: project results can be easily transferred, checked for OER compatibility, and saved using a DOI. A big thank you to the extremely helpful support team!

Prof. Dr. Miriam Kuckuck, Michael Lachetta, Sven Hanses, Shira Vidal, Dr. Melanie Beudels, Dr. Yannick Schilling

University of Wuppertal

I like to publish teaching materials for students on twillo. A wide variety of materials can be created, the publishing process is guided in small steps, the materials can be used by anyone free of charge and I reach many students, even outside OL.

Dr. Franziska Buchmann

University of Oldenburg

twillo offers a well-functioning search and the import of our previously published material from the Dataverse application GRO.data went smoothly. It's great that we were able to improve the visibility of our materials so easily!

Sebastian Lehmann, Franziska Altemeier, Dr. Nina Düvel

Hanover University of Applied Sciences and Arts

I appreciate the variety of high-quality OER on twillo. When I created my first OER, it was useful for me to find practical, well-structured tips on the website. It was also helpful that I could ask questions directly. I would also highly recommend the twillo seminars.

Leonore Peer

University of Leoben

twillo made it very easy for me as a teacher to publish materials. Even afterwards, the team provided me with friendly and comprehensive advice and support to ensure that my materials could be found and used by anyone interested.

Nico Hornig

Dortmund University of Technology

I like to access open educational material for my work and would like to give something back to the international community via twillo. Open access strengthens democracy, which is a very important aspect of OER for me.

Dr.-Ing. Reinhard Caspary

Leibniz University Hanover

For me, twillo is an opportunity to promote collaborative inter-university work on OER and to ensure the sustainability of our materials. In doing so, twillo offers an easy-to-understand and location-independent infrastructure and makes it possible to work creatively and smoothly on OER.

Anne Hertel

University of Greifswald

twillo impresses with its genuine sharing culture - knowledge is shared, synergies are created and everyone benefits from the experience of others. License and publication issues as well as technical challenges were quickly resolved thanks to the dedicated team.

Eva Bibrack

Dresden University of Technology

twillo is a good opportunity for us to make the project results visible and accessible to a broad public in the long term. The introductory event gave us important guidance on what we need to bear in mind when creating open educational resources.

Gabriele Ernstorfer, Prof. Dr. Michael Klafft, Angela Moldenhauer-Eims

Jade University

twillo makes it really easy to share materials. The option to publish related materials as series elements is also very nice. The support is outstanding, you always get helpful feedback with detailed explanations in a very timely manner. Great!

Alina Luisa Cerezo Alarcon, Lena Berglind, Dr. Sigrid Richter, Fatih Karabacak

University of Paderborn

I like twillo as a platform because I have control over my materials myself and there are many possibilities for collaboration, versioning, etc. But twillo is even more: I really appreciate the networking that the project offers and the collegial interaction in the community.

Dr. Elisabeth Scherer

Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf

Thanks to twillo's good user interface, it was easy to publish the materials as OER and make them accessible to everyone. This enabled us to promote our module at conferences and provide access to it straight away.

twillo was a great help in understanding CC licenses and the basics of open educational resources. Thanks to the personal consultation, we were able to present our OER exactly as we wanted.

With twillo, we have found a simple way to make the results of our seminars accessible to students and teachers, but also to professionals from the field. So many can benefit from it.

What is particularly practical about twillo is that you can get a DOI for the published materials. The fact that the editors check for authorship and OER suitability gives me legal certainty.

Since we as a university do not yet have our own OER repository, twillo with its intuitive user interface enables us to easily disseminate teaching materials and thus promote the use of innovative teaching methods.

OER guarantee a non-commercial variety of media by education professionals for education professionals. My team and I use twillo to exchange ideas. This platform is very professionally structured and has an extremely appealing design.

twillo offers a platform on which our courses can reach a larger target audience. The support and also the goal of being present on twillo help us to be able to afford the effort involved in creating OER.

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Carsten Gips

OER is the open source for the education sector. twillo makes sharing and finding easier and is also very well integrated with OERSI.org. The team helps with difficulties within a very short time - this makes sharing fun :-)

Who shares wins! Twillo makes it possible to disseminate OER and to search for them specifically in order to use them and develop them further individually. In this way, Twillo makes a significant contribution to future-oriented higher education.
