MERLOT - The International Gateway for Finding Open Educational Resources
In an era of Open Educational Resources (OER), open source software (OSS), and Open Access (OA) publications, MERLOT, the Multimedia Educational Resource for Learning and Online Teaching, stands out as the longstanding, favored digital gateway for instructors seeking all manner of open resources for their teaching and research. The MERLOT community, which celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2017, consists of more than 150,000 registered members who have built a collection of almost 80,000 freely available, curated, multidisciplinary learning materials. With more than one million website visitors annually, MERLOT is the preferred international resource for discovering online teaching and learning materials. This presentation will discuss the concept of openness, including the use and reuse of learning objects, the new user interfaces and features in MERLOT (released in March, 2018), and will focus on MERLOT’s ‘Smart Search’ integrated in 1) MERLOT own repository search, 2) direct search to more than a dozen popular digital libraries, and 3) pre-customized, profile-based WWW searches. There will be a focus on MERLOT’s recently added discipline communities of Information Technology and Computer Science, endorsed by the IEEE Computer Society and the IEEE Education Society.
