A few days ago, I shared an evaluation of a learning material in MERLOT (Multimedia Educational Resource for Learning and Online Teaching).
But what is MERLOT? What can you do in MERLOT?
According to the MERLOT website,
"MERLOT is a free and open online community of resources designed primarily for faculty, staff and students of higher education from around the world to share their learning materials and pedagogy. MERLOT is a leading edge, user-centered, collection of peer reviewed higher education, online learning materials, catalogued by registered members and a set of faculty development support services."
In Merlot, you can also find a lot of great peer-reviewed online teaching resources by browsing your discipline’s collection of teaching materials. Merlot categorizes materials in to 14 different categories: animations, assessment tools, assignments, case studies, collections, development tools, drill and practice, e-Portfolio, learning object repositories, online courses, open textbooks, articles, presentations, tests, reference materials, simulations, social networking tools, tutorials, and workshops and training materials. By watching this 10 minute video by Lisa Dubuc-Pirinelli with the SUNY Teaching, Learning and Technology program, you can learn more about how to search for materials.
You can also contribute materials that you have developed. Since MERLOT is a collection of online resources, you first need to have a URL to the material you want to add. You can watch this 15 minute video to learn more about contributing online materials.
Lastly, you can connect with people and find links to professional organizations.
I think this is a great website to find quality materials and to share your materials with colleagues around the world:)
