The IEEE Education Society Teaching with Technology Resource Center (ETRC) is a web-based resource designed to facilitate the discovery of relevant and high-quality teaching resources for higher education instructors of electrical and computer engineering, computer science, and information systems. The IEEE Education Society and MERLOT created this resource center to respond to the challenges instructors face in using online instruction to address their teaching assignments.
This resource center complements other resource-focused products offered by IEEE, staff, and volunteers, and provides access to hundreds of thousands of free and open resources that highlight potential interests of the IEEE Education Society and other IEEE members.
Currently, the ETRC includes resources to help both instructors and students preparing to teach and learn online. This resource was created to provide direct access to MERLOT’s Engineering, Computer Science, and Information Systems community portals, which were developed in alignment with ABET/CSAB guidelines. Users can also access MERLOT’s overall repository of almost 100,000 learning materials, dozens of other OER libraries, a customized Collabratec community for sharing experiences about online teaching, other existing IEEE learning resources, and a host of teaching and learning resources available through the MERLOT system.
