Scholarly work in instructional technology designed by Barb Tewksbury, the Upson Chair for Public Discourse and Professor of Geosciences, and Heather Macdonald of the College of William and Mary, has been peer-reviewed and published in Multimedia Educational Resources for Learning and Online Teaching (MERLOT). Tewksbury and Macdonald's material is titled "Cutting Edge Course Design Tutorial" and is an online version of a face-to-face course design tutorial, that guides faculty independently through the same practical and intellectually interesting processes related to setting course goals, designing the course and following through.
The MERLOT project is an international initiative enabling faculty to integrate technology into higher education. MERLOT is supported by 27 systems and institutions of higher education as well as the National Science Foundation. MERLOT is also endorsed by Educational Learning Initiative (ELI) of EDUCAUSE. More than 150 faculty members from these institutions have been performing the peer review of instructional technology, modeled after the peer review process for research and scholarship.
