online learning materials. The primary purpose of these reviews is to
allow faculty from any institution of higher education to decide if the
online teaching-learning materials they are examining will work in their
course(s). The emphasis on the user's perspective is the reason peer
reviews are performed by peer users of instructional technology, and not
necessarily peer authors of instructional technology. MERLOT is a free and
open resource designed primarily for faculty and students of higher
education. Links to online learning materials are collected here along
with annotations such as peer reviews and assignments. Dr.
