The eighth MERLOT International Conference (MIC08) held in Minneapolis,
Minnesota, is devoted to faculty development in the design, creation,
utilization and evaluation of online teaching and learning materials.
The MIC08 conference theme, MERLOT: Still Blazing the Trail and Meeting
New Challenges in the Digital Age, recognizes the collaborative efforts
within disciplines and the education community around the World to
enhance teaching and learning through the use of academic technology.
Conference attendees span all disciplines and are on the continuum from
novice to expert in the development and use of online resources. This
year the Community of Practice is Education, which included Teacher
Education, Library and Information Services, and Faculty Development.
The MERLOT International Conference is designed to foster learning,
innovation and practice in the use of information, instruction, and
communications technologies in higher education. It is the venue for
educators, administrators, and technologists who have interests and
expertise in technology-enabled teaching and learning and who recognize
the need to remain current in this rapidly advancing field of
educational practice and theory.
The Conference offers many opportunities for attendees to gain practical
skills in the use of educational technologies through numerous
interactive hands-on workshops led by peers and through
industry-sponsored technology showcases. It is frequently in these
practical workshops and demonstrations that refreshing new insights into
applications of these technologies to higher education are gained.
