Multimedia Educational Resource for Learning and Online Teaching (MERLOT)



MERLOT is resource site for peer reviewed learning materials. Over the years, I have used MERLOT.org as a resource for courses I teach as well recommend the site to colleagues and faculty.

Use the site to:
  1. Search for peer reviewed learning materials
  2. Find subject matter experts in your discipline
  3. Find assignments and interactive exercises you can use with your students
  4. Find subject matter experts you can use as guest speakers (Virtual Speakers Bureau)

Membership is free. As a member you can:

  1. Contribute to collection of learning materials
  2. Create your personal collections of teaching and learning materials
  3. Create a personal profile
  4. Share your knowledge
  5. Receive recognition from peers in your discipline
