Complete Workshop Description
Online Workshop Description: 
MERLOT (Multimedia Educational Resource for Learning and Online Teaching) 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, in partnership with the Sloan Consortium, presents this workshop to demonstrate some of the many tools and services that MERLOT has to offer.  Participants will learn to easily navigate MERLOT pages, and to participate as MERLOT Members. Workshop assignments will allow participants to tailor their work to their own disciplines and courses they are currently teaching. Some of the key MERLOT tools will be demonstrated, so participants can create “play lists” for materials that can be used for both face-to-face classes and online classes.

Workshop Opens - October 20th. Please introduce yourself and begin reviewing materials.
