Yes, anyone can do that, just as anyone can submit someone else's materials. I'll use an example from Physics. MIT Physics was broken into smaller parts by someone on the Physics Editorial Board: http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=234538
This Faraday one ended up being a Classics Award Winner.

Here is an example from Biology: Connecting Concepts was submitted as a major meta site, but was broken into pieces: http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=83572
That way it is easier to find and then much easier to peer review.

You can always suggest to the Editor that the site be broken down into smaller segments. But, be careful, as you may be asked to do it.

Let's talk on this topic tomorrow.

Just in case you are not aware yet, the ASA started an online collection of learning objects called TRAILS (see http://trails.asanet.org/Pages/default.aspx) a few months ago. It is only open to subscribers--if ASA member = $25, if nonmember = $100 per year.

It would be great if our collection on Sociology were large as well as peer reviewed, and also free. So, let's keep building the Sociology collection.

I could not agree with you more, Cathy.

Hi Cathy,

I was trying to get through Grape Camp. I'm having trouble opening the links/files under the Business Peer Review Part 1 and 2; 3 and 4.

I am currently working with merlot.org on the Sociology Review Board and will be portal editor for Sociology.

Hi, Michael, only one more reason to build up a FREE alternative to what ASA sells! :)
