MELO's goal is to enhance student learning, engagement, and persistence in college through the use of these learning objects. The materials represented in this collection are from the third year (MELO 3D) of the project. This award-winning project takes a unique approach to overcoming barriers to technology-enriched instruction by involving students (undergraduate and graduate) in addition to select faculty and staff from across different disciplines as key collaborators. By training select students and faculty to find, evaluate, adapt, create, and integrate LOs, the project facilitates the incorporation of high quality interdisciplinary and discipline-specific LOs into the curricula.The Open.Michigan collection serves as a central repository for materials created in association with the Michigan Education through Learning Objects project. The Materials tab contains training materials from the start of the projects, learning objects, survey instruments and conference abstracts from the project. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=671109 The Michigan Education through Learning Objects (MELO) project is a cross-disciplinary collaborative effort that has worked over the past three years to facilitate the integration of curriculum-based sequences of online learning objects (LOs) that complement classroom pedagogy in large enrollment gateway courses.

The module is suited primarily for a freshman level course. The module subject matter is arranged to develop in students an understanding of global warming and energy efficiency aspects of automobiles. Students are introduced to concepts related to wind resistance or drag force, wind resistance power, carbon dioxide production, global warming index and energy efficiency index. The interactive menu will allow students to determine drag force, carbon dioxide production and wind and tire resistance horse power as a function of vehicle type and speed of operation. The challenge problems are also included for practice. Some parts of modules can also be used for the dynamics and thermodynamics courses in engineering curriculum. A primer for chemical reaction balancing is given in the combustion chemistry section. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=85023 An interactive tool to balance any chemical equation. Developed with Macromedia Flash and ActionScript programming language. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=331482 ChemEd DL aims to provide exemplary digital resources, tools, and online services to aid in teaching and learning chemistry. A collaborative, community-driven effort, we provide a destination for all those interested in chemistry to share what they know so that others may learn. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=654290 A free K-20 educational, web media site for students and teachers. 36 Academic subjects; 493 Courses; 1,794 Documentaries;1,372 videos; and 1.342 images. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=284168 EducaNext provides access to thousands of materials on various subjects of relevance to teaching and learning at the college level and higher. Member institutions list their materials on the site as well as fees for those materials. You have to register (free) to use this learning object repository. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=294382 The periodic table is organized so elements are arranged in columns based on the number of valence (outer) electrons available for chemical reactions. Therefore, the elements in the columns have similar behavior. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=86717 NOISE (New Outlooks In Science & Engineering) is a UK-wide campaign funded by the Engineering & Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC). Initiated in 2000, it aims to raise awareness of science and engineering among young people. The site contains links to other interesting sites, upcoming events, blogs and cool jobs all related to the science and engineering community.
