System Partner Use “MERLOT has been an excellent faculty
development initiative for a state system, since it promotes collaboration and efficiency. It is a unique organization, approaching common issues and challenges in a way no others do. MERLOT extends our reach and resources by partnering with other systems, organizations, and agencies. I don’t think we could accomplish nearly as much if we tried to do these things by ourselves.”
Phillip K. (Phil) Moss, Assistant Vice Chancellor, Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education
![Page 9: 1 MERLOT Multimedia Educational Resource for Learning and Online Teaching Patrick Paulson, Assistant Professor MIS, Winona State University D.W. Proctor,](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e5e5503460f94b57d8f/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Faculty Use of MERLOT
“MERLOT is transforming the face of higher education as we know it. Being a part of this project is stimulating and every bit worth the time and effort. We are building a first class digital library and a strong community of practice at the same time. MERLOT puts the focus on teaching and learning.” Laura Franklin, Professor of Humanities and Social
Sciences, Northern Virginia Community College
![Page 10: 1 MERLOT Multimedia Educational Resource for Learning and Online Teaching Patrick Paulson, Assistant Professor MIS, Winona State University D.W. Proctor,](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e5e5503460f94b57d8f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

Student Use of MERLOT 18% of members are students“I was instructed by my college professor to join merlot and
to review three websites and pick my favorite. The webpages were setup in such a way that you don't realize how much you are learning until you have completed the "lesson"….. I found it much more effective to "view" the experiments rather than merely hear about them. The videos and sound were excellent and I appreciated the animation allowing me to move at my own pace. I was not forced to move through too quickly…”
Angela Landsman

Federated Search Important and useful technology
for MERLOT users. Allows searches for materials
from multiple partner collections, instead of having to search each one separately.
Results are combined and sorted by relevance, title, or originating collection.
Two forms of FS, general federated search discipline-based federated search
(corresponds to MERLOT editorial boards).

Locating Suitable Materials “Search engines tend to return a staggering number of links, and
evaluating search results for suitability and quality can be extremely time consuming - often more so than authoring a new Web page would have been. Not to mention the fact that high-quality sites that are not highly used or attuned to the search engine's way of seeing the Web often fall through the cracks entirely. It's sometimes quicker to reinvent the wheel than to find its schematics online. Wouldn't it be nice to have a mechanism to quickly find the best teaching materials for a given subject, in a given discipline? “
B. Knauff

How will this help faculty?
Faculty members—including adjuncts—in fourteen disciplines contribute lesson plans, which are then peer reviewed and rated.
Especially helpful for adjunct faculty hired three weeks before classes starts and is asked to include technology in their teaching.
Allows them to find good materials quickly and use it with confidence, because they can rely on the evaluations that peers have made.
MERLOT can showcase faculty research and work.
