MERLOT is a searchable collection of peer-reviewed online learning materials created by its users. As stated at their Web site, MERLOT's vision is to be a premiere online community where faculty, staff, and students from around the world share their learning materials and pedagogy. Anyone can search the site for materials; however, those people who become members have the ability to contact the creators of materials directly as well as upload materials to the site. The MERLOT site is a good place to collaborate with people from other institutions. We encourage you to take a look at the site and search for materials in your discipline and, if you have the time, look over other disciplines and/or areas of personal interest.
