How will users know if the material they are accessing is of high quality?
The organization of MERLOT consists of a national network of online discipline communities. Within each discipline, MERLOT faculty expert reviewers have formed panels that select and evaluate the learningmaterials. Each panel is in the process of (1) developing professional standards for online learning materials, (2) engaging in peer review processes similar to those used for scholarly works, and (3) providing a mechanism to validate and share high quality work. Also, to assess usability and to evaluate effectiveness, user comments from faculty, students, and other members can be added.
