Great news, Barb. We have been talking to the QM people about a possible collaboration, so I thought you'd be interested in knowing.

Hi All,

My name is Netty Provost and I'm a Lecturer in Philosophy at Indiana University Kokomo where I am the only faculty member in philosophy so Merlot is a great resource for me to connect to teaching resources from others in my field. I tend to call myself a generalist in philosophy because I teaching and research in a very wide range of areas as opposed to having two or three very detailed specializations. I also direct the Humanities degree for my university and am in the process of creating a new degree in Multidisciplinary Studies where students will be able to literally design their own degree program if we don't have a major that matches their needs so my overall work is very interdisciplinary in nature.

Hi, Netty,

I am also participating asynchronously in the Fall GRAPE session. I look forward to learning more about our cohort and our activities in MERLOT. I love the diversity of the resources.

Take care,

Barb

We do have quite a number of types of materials, disciplines, etc. That's what makes MERLOT so unique.

Wow, that is quite a task, Netty. I'm sure it is very interesting, though challenging, for you.

Welcome, Silvia-Adriana: We're happy to have you participating from Bucharest. MERLOT is truly a global resource.

Hi, Tony.

Thank you for joining us from "over there." Working on open resources is a very worthwhile project.
