Welcome to the Maricopa Learning eXchange (MLX), which at current inventory status includes 1792 "packages" in our warehouse of learning. 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, a package 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 from Maricopa created for or applied to student learning. See for yourself by looking at any of the 3 randomly selected packages listed on the right or reviewing in more detail about the type of packages in our collection.

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, college(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 use as long as credit is given to the package owner. (You do not want to meet our Legal Department!)

The other side of exchange is that anyone who works for Maricopa is invited to share their own packages by visiting the loading dock. There, the Dock Supervisor helps you instantly create an account, and the warehouse aides walk you through the process of creatring 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.
