Resources at our fingertips
While browsing through the MERLOT website (a good resource for online learning materials) I happened upon the Journal of Online Learning and Teaching. This online journal is published quarterly and its objectives, as found on the website, are to:
- Enable faculty to use technology effectively in teaching and learning by learning from a community of researchers and scholars;
- Enable academic programs to design and deploy academic technology to optimize teaching and learning;
- Build a community around the research and scholarly use of multimedia educational resources.
I found all kinds of interesting articles including one on utilizing blogs in the online classroom: Defining Tools for a New Learning Space: Writing and Reading Class Blogs by Sarah Hurlburt. I intend to go back at some point to read about creativity in online classrooms, blogging across disciplines, and virtual labs. Check it out!

Hi Susan,
I happened to come across Merlot the other day, too, as I was surfing the net. I didn’t notice the Journal, so thanks for pointing that out. I’d like to do something with my discussions to make them more effective, and Merlot + the Journal would be good places to start.
Talk to you later…
