Abstract
The MERLOT consortium relies upon partners for leadership and guidance, and campuses and other organizations that partner with MERLOT make use of its resources, tools, and services. This panel presentation features representatives from three MERLOT partners – a campus, a state system, and one of its international partners. Each will describe why they chose to partner with MERLOT, the projects that use or will use MERLOT services, and how their respective organizational goals are being met through the partnership.
