The Great MLX Package Race What is it? In an effort to expand our inventory of packages and enhance the value of the warehouse, the MLX is offering an ongoing promotion to encourage Maricopa faculty and staff to step up and contribute items. Between April 1, 2004 and December 8, 2004 we are again tracking by college the number of packages registered in the warehouse. Oh dear, the last race ended December 8, 2004. The Great Race Incentive programs are over, so please consider collegial reasons why you might share things in the MLX. Huh? What are these "packages"? It's what this site is all about (the answer is here)! Our warehouse stores descriptions of learning materials, projects, media, web sites, experiments, ideas, innovations, activities... anything created by Maricopa people to support learning. Still not clear? See our information on types and examples of MLX packages. What is the incentive? We are keeping a tally of the number of packages submitted per college as well as individual contributers. Previously, we awarded software prizes to the highest MLX "package per employee" (ppe), e.g. number of packages contributed divided by the full time employee count for that college, but for the current race we are warding just the individual efforts.
