How many faculty use MERLOT for its rich repository of content on a wide selection of educational materials?
MERLOT is designed to support communities of faculty and instructors working together to identify and use (as well as develop) good online resources for teaching and learning. MERLOT provides developed and distributed tools to enable the formation of communities engaged in building shared knowledge bases of learning materials.
In the coming weeks into 2013, MERLOT is offering a series of free webinars to introduce faculty and faculty professional development professionals on the services and communities of learning practice.
