About this MLX

Welcome to the NACCTEP Member Learning eXchange, an implementation of the openMLX project (MLX Learning eXchange) based on the original Maricopa Learning eXchange created at the Maricopa Community College District.

The current inventory status of this MLX includes 20 "packages" in its warehouse. As our "X" shows, our address is at the intersection of Teaching and Learning.

What exactly is a package? Just as "learning" is a concept that defies quantifying, so are examples of learning. That is why we represent them as mysterious wrapped packages, ranging from as small as a spreadsheet activity designed for a chemistry lab exercise to a complete faculty development program. Simply put, the criteria for a package is anything that supports and enhances communiyy college teacher education programs and promotes student learning. See for yourself by looking at any of the 3 randomly selected packages listed on the right or more detail on the types of NACCETP MLX packages we are hoping to collect here.

The key to MLX is it being a place for exchange of ideas. Anyone from anywhere can browse and search the warehouse. Each "package" is represented by a descriptive "packing slip" that includes the name of the package creator, orgranizations(s) that were involved in developing it, contact information, a description, links to web sites associated with the package, and a collection of media attachments that include images, documents, spreadsheets, movie clips, etc. The attachments provided are free for educational as specified by a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.5 License.

The other side of "exchange" is you can share your own packages by visiting the loading dock. There, the Dock Supervisor can help you instantly create an account, and the warehouse aides walk you through the process of creating an entry for your first package. You may check and modify your inventory at anytime, which tells you how often your package has been viewed.
