I copied an email that I recently received below. MERLOT has improved the Content Builder to make it easier to create learning resources. Once the learning resources are built, the user can add them to the MERLOT database. This a a fantastic opportunity for instructors to make their resources public for students and others who could benefit.
If you use the MERLOT Content Builder and would like to have the learning resource peer reviewed, make an attempt not to have the resource so tightly coupled with a particular course that others could not easily benefit.
MERLOT announces Content
Builder 2.0 – a significant upgrade to their instructional web authoring
system.
Easier to use. Easier to
build pages. Easier to store in the cloud.
Long Beach, CA, USA,
December 2011. MERLOT announced today
the immediate availability of a major release of its authoring website system, MERLOT
Content Builder.
This new release
provides an improved interface that allows instructors to more easily manage,
organize, and navigate through their authored web material. The new
version supports all previously developed Content Builder material.
Instructors can develop web pages in many ways, including
using library templates for e-portfolios, lesson plans, pedagogical
analysis, student reflection, online courses, tutorials, presentations, and
others. Examples can be seen at MERLOT
Effective Uses of the MERLOT Content Builder Tool (which was created
using the new Content Builder). There is
also a new version of the Quick
Start Guide to help you get familiar
with the Content Builder.
