Working with IBM
• How do the commercial content providers and users respect and protect IP?
• MERLOT-IBM Field Testing of Prototype Solution– In early 2003, MERLOT and IBM formed an
agreement to build a prototype “digital content exchange” to test whether such an exchange was technically feasible and would have academic acceptance
– MERLOT supplied the requirements and content – IBM supplied the technical infrastructure and
technical support– Prototype was tested by members of MERLOT
institutions and concluded in April, 2004
![Page 16: January 24, 2005 Gerry Hanley Executive Director, MERLOT NLII 2005 January 24, 2005 MERLOT: Slipstreaming to Success.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649ee55503460f94bf4775/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
January 24, 2005
Key Conclusions from Field Test
• Key requirements of the exchange can be supported in the infrastructure
• Providers and consumers (faculty and students) found value in the system
• Ease of use is a (the) significant acceptance factor
• While the opportunity to create new business models abounds within the exchange, there is limited understanding about which models will succeed

Students Reflecting on Learning
Angela Landsman, MERLOT Student Member commenting on her learning from a DNA Website
• “I am a fourth year college student. I was instructed by my college professor to join merlot and to review three websites and pick my favorite.”
• “The webpages were setup in such a way that you don't realize how much you are learning until you have completed the "lesson"….. I found it much more effective to "view" the experiments rather than merely hear about them. The videos and sound were excellent and I appreciated the animation allowing me to move at my own pace. I was not forced to move through too quickly…”
