The deal means specifically that "MERLOT will offer 'WebCT' as a pick list option for users searching by either subject matter or technical format." Consequently, "They will pinpoint WebCT-ready content produced by faculty, institutions and publishers, including IMS standards-based learning modules, question databases and quizzes." One wonders, in the world where learning objects are supposed to be system-neutral, why it should be necessary to search for 'WebCT ready' content. Or why, for that matter, MERLOT would find it necessary to sign a special deal with an LMS vendor at all.
