The Merlot Engineering Community

Hundreds of faculty and students from schools, colleges and universities all over the world form the MERLOT Engineering Community. This community of scholars submits new materials to the MERLOT Engineering collection, adds Member Comments to existing materials, and provides sample assignments for materials they have used in their own classrooms.

To search for members of the MERLOT Engineering Community, which now numbers well over 500 members, please visit the MERLOT Engineering Member Directory page.

The MERLOT Engineering Editorial Board

Editorial Boards are one of the cornerstones of MERLOT. They lead the development of MERLOT's discipline communities - one Editorial Board for each community. Editors and Associate Editors are drawn from, and supported by, System Partners and/or Campus Partners.

All MERLOT Editorial Board members are faculty with:

• Expertise in the scholarship of their field,
• Excellence in teaching,
• Experience in using technology in teaching and learning,
• Connections to professional organizations in their discipline, and
• Experience in conducting peer reviews of online learning materials.

Each Editorial Board is responsible for:

• Expanding and managing the collection of online learning materials in its discipline.
• Educating and reaching out to the community of educators in its discipline.
• Implementing and managing the peer review process for materials in its discipline.
• Recruiting and training peer reviewers.
