| Overview: |
The Michigan Education through Learning Objects (MELO) project is a cross-disciplinary, collaborative effort to facilitate the integration of curriculum-based sequences of online learning objects that complement classroom pedagogy in large enrollment gateway courses. MELO's goal is to enhance student learning, engagement, and persistence in college through the use of these learning objects.
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. |
