Voices:
voices.merlot.org/group/virtual-labs-in-the-csu
MERLOT Voices is a free online communications network
that allows the Virtual Labs community to connect with each
other 24/7 to discuss issues online, blog, and chat and to post,
share, exchange, and comment on virtual labs.
As part of the CSU Enrollment Bottleneck Solutions initiative, programs such as Proven Course Redesign, Promising Practices, CourseMatch and Virtual Labs are supported through the involvement in a number of communities of practice focused
on various aspects of effective course redesign with technology. The goal of the CSU community of practice is to get like-minded faculty, staff, and administrators using a common virtual platform to share experiences, support and collaborate on new
technologies and trends in teaching online and adopting virtual labs in the science teaching and learning.
