Professional Development
The MERLOT Africa Network (MAN) recognizes that quality education and the professional development of faculty of the network must be immersed within the discipline communities and institutional culture and be governed by the faculty themselves. With these principles as a foundation,MAN institutions will use the MERLOT International Conference (MIC) and the e-learning Africa international conferences as hub and forums for discussion and dissemination of best practices.
MAN is building on the efforts of MERLOT to empower local campus leaders within disciplines to develop communities of faculty who will discover, review, organize and disseminate exemplary practices for teaching and learning with technology.
