Merlot is a curated online learning provider for higher education made up of more than 94,000 learning resources that benefit more than 185,000 members and 4,000 institutions. Instructors can create their own material to post or cull what they want from the site to create their own course. For instructors who want to tailor a course, this library of animations, simulations, assignments, animations, presentations, and more is a treasure trove of low-cost or no-cost possibilities.

Where Students and Instructors Win By Using LabRight is:

Material from a variety of sources on Merlot, other OER, original work, Van-Griner resources and even some permissioned items can be integrated seamlessly on one platform for a consistent look, feel, and ease of use.
The LabRight platform can become a part of a school’s LMS for single-server sign-on and the option for automatic syncing of grades into the LMS gradebook.
LabRight is so flexible that it can be customized for lessons, pre-labs, labs (with a print component if requested), post-labs, homework, quizzes and tests.
Students are encouraged to engage with the online material by interacting with videos, audio, embedded links, and more than 20 question-types for lesson assessments, quizzes and tests.
Benefiting from features like auto grading, algorithmic questioning, variable grading, integrated graphing tools, on screen editors for notetaking, 3D rotatable models for A&P, and more.
Student metrics generated by the platform aid instructors in areas like finding the material that students need more help mastering and knowing who is completing their work.
Getting a platform with incredible versatility that can do things other digital platforms can’t at a fraction of the cost.
