DESCRIPTION: MERLOT is an international community of educators, learners, and researchers. The MERLOT project began in 1997, when the California State University Center for Distributed Learning (CSU-CDL at www.cdl.edu) developed and provided free access to MERLOT (www.merlot.org). Under the leadership of Chuck Schneebeck, CSU-CDL’s Director, MERLOT was modeled after the NSF funded project, “Authoring Tools and An Educational Object Economy (EOE)”. Led by Dr. James Spohrer and hosted by Apple Computer, and other industry, university, and government collaborators, the EOE developed and distributed tools to enable the formation of communities engaged in building shared knowledge bases of learning materials.
