Charge

Faculty and others in CARLI institutions are actively developing courses and customized applets.  The CARLI Board holds as a high priority the creation and maintenance of a dynamic, free, and open resource of these digital learning materials designed primarily for faculty and students of higher education.  Using the concepts tested by Merlot and Rice University’s Connexions, this resource will contain learning materials, along with annotations such as peer reviews and assignments, and will enable authors to publish and collaborate and instructors to build and share applets and courses that can be used and reused.  The Task Force is charged to develop a plan to build this resource and keep it current and dynamic, including estimates of the resources that will be required for startup and ongoing services.  The Task Force’s report is due in December, 2006.
