Thanks for pointing out the limitations with MERLOT copyright notices. MERLOT has achieved considerable recognition for its OER index and reviews. While MERLOT has shortcomings, they are also the primary go- to site for locating learning objects. The peer reviews lend great credibility to any resources listed in MERLOT.
Sadly, there is no functional equivalent for WE content or WikiEducator-reviewed OERs. As a result, WE OERs are missing out on the notice they deserve. I suggested that we add links and reviews for OERs located in WikiEducator to the MERLOT listings. This will immediately raise visibility and brand recognition for WikiEducator. As I understand it, the MERLOT copyright information would not limit WikiEducators in promoting their OER through MERLOT. In all my years of accessing MERLOT listings, I have never encountered issues with access to any of the resources. On the contrary, it has been a great pleasure to discover so many wonderful resources on a wide range of topics and grade levels. The category and search mechanism is robust, user- friendly and works extremely well. The WikiEducator OERs really need the visibility that can be bestowed by MERLOT listing and reviews. ..Valerie On Nov 17, 12:55 pm, Wayne Mackintosh <[email protected]> wrote: --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "WikiEducator" group.
