MERLOT :: The “Napster” of Multimedia Content
In his blog, Rick West metions the new learning options that can happen thanks to the enormous amount of content that is now available on the internet. We no longer have to re-create the wheel everytime we want to use media-rich content in our classes. Other than the staple sites (like Google images), I’ve found several other sites that have great educational content. One of them is called MERLOT :: Multimedia Educational Resource for Learning and Online Teaching. It’s sort of like a Napster for educational materials. If you aren’t familiar with the site yet, check it out. The e-Skeleton project is one of the coolest examples I’ve found thanks to MERLOT.
