Designed by the Delta Electronics Foundation, DeltaMOOCx is a free online learning course platform featuring basic natural science and automation programs for senior high, industrial, and vocational schools and universities. With technical education at the core of development, a series of industrial automation courses integrated with industrial trends were designed, in the hope of bridging the gap between theory and application.
For high schools and vocational high schools, the Foundation works with National Academy for Educational Research and K-12 Educational Administration, designing courses covering 6 core subjects: math, physics, chemistry, biology, earth science, and electrical and electronic engineering. The courses provided on DeltaMOOCx aim to motivate students with better learning effectiveness and the quality of vocational education.
As for universities, the Foundation partners with the National Taiwan University of Science and Technology, the National Taipei University of Technology, and the National Yunlin University of Science and Technology, offering automation courses to bridge the gap between the theoretical and practical knowledge as well as to improve the fairness for students to receive education.
The book "New World of Online Learning — Universities: DeltaMOOCx Cultivates Automation Talents" was published to impart the Foundation's knowledge and experiences in online education. The Foundation also evaluated the social return on investment (SROI) of DeltaMOOCx and concluded that every 1 USD of investment could create more than 9 USD of social value and influence. By the end of 2022, the cumulative number of course views exceeded 18 million.
The scholarship program provides the grant of NT$250,000 to each graduate student, and is open to applicants between January and April every year.
Since 2008, the British Office has been cooperating with the Delta Electronics Foundation to set up Chevening-Delta Climate Scholarships. Each year, two youth leaders devoted to Taiwan’s environmental protection are sponsored to go to study in the UK.
In lieu of the heated discussions on business environmental ethics, the Foundation in 2011 for the first time to cooperate with Chinese Business Ethics Education Association to jointly launch the project of "Delta Corporate Environmental Ethics Research Grant."
