At this year’s OLC Innovate conference, Stephanie (Charlie) Farley was awarded the MERLOT Instructional and Design Technology Classics award for her 23 Things for Digital Knowledge course, an open, and self-paced course for digital and online skills.

MERLOT provides access to curated online learning and support materials and content creation tools, led by an international community of educators, learners and researchers. Its MERLOT Awards program recognises and promotes outstanding online resources designed to enhance teaching and learning and to honour the authors and developers of these resources for their contributions to the academic community. Awards for Exemplary Online Materials are presented to authors of peer- reviewed learning resources.

Charlie’s created a short video for OLC Innovate and the MERLOT award to explain what the course is, how it was designed, and how it works.
