Merlot and Merlot Elixr

 You may all have heard about MERLOT which is  a great repository for online learning and teaching materials.  This is always a good place to start looking for open-source materials you maybe able to use or alter for your own purposes.

 I recently also came across MERLOT ELIXR which actually is a repository for digital case stories from many different areas of study.  This is where faculty post real-life experiences for using teaching strategies and how they were implemented. 

This is where I found the best link for sharing the Nuhfer talk from the Parkland workshop.  Maybe someday we can create our own case study on how to best teach Biology courses online?

Another resource that can serve as a source for educator support (and recommended by Dr. Nuhfer is the The Science Education Resource Center (SERC). There is a particular emphasis on undergraduate Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education.  This website shares special expertise in effective pedagogies, education, community organization, workshop leadership, digital libraries, website development and program and website evaluation.
