JOLT--Journal of Online Learning and Teaching MERLOT (http://www.merlot.org/Home.po) has established a new online journal: "MERLOT is a free and open resource designed primarily for faculty and students of higher education. The MERLOT Journal of Online Learning and Teaching (JOLT) is a peer-reviewed, online publication addressing the scholarly use of multimedia resources in education. The objectives of JOLT are to: Enable faculty to use technology effectively in teaching and learning by learning from a community of researchers and scholars; Enable academic programs to design and deploy academic technology to optimize teaching and learning; Build a community around the research and scholarly use of multimedia educational resources." The articles are available in html and pdf formats. The current issue (July 2005) contains a variety of articles about the use of online learning materials in various teaching areas. There is a definite need for this publication because instructors need to hear from other instructors about the use of online teaching resources. ____JH (Thanks to CIT Infobits for this reference.) 9:45:28 AM    COMMENT []
