I am a graduate of Merlot camp this summer. I wanted to say what an ideal experience the training was. Cathy is a perfect trainer modeling so many behaviors we want to follow in our work and in our personal lives. I have used her as a model example in my learning courses, and in my writing

Well I have not graduated from the Peer Review Grape Camp. But I am learning a lot about the Merlot community. I look forward to my growth.

I too have not graduated yet from the Peer Review Grape Camp. However, I have finished the classes. I am working on my last little homework to turn in to get my certificate. I am soooo excited to be part of this process.

Has anyone checked out the Master Online Teacher certificate program from the Illinois Online Network (ION)? I have finished this program and found it to be quite rigorous. Some of the courses, if taken for credit, were transferred for credit to my PhD program at Walden U.

Hi, all i have a concern with the Business Peer Review Tutorials i cannot open the part 3 and 4 despite changing the browser to explorer,since in the Elluminate in achieved session of the webinar. I must hasten to mention that the session was very informative to me and i think it has moved up somewhere in the competence towards being a reviewer. The explanation on the session helped me understand the .25 factor.I have downloaded the guide for writing peer review reports for Merlot. and it now makes sense.
