Macmillan Learning Launches a Search Engine Designed for Supplemental OER

Macmillan Learning announced the availability of Intellus Search, a new search engine designed to make it simpler for instructors to discover free and relevant supplemental materials. While nearly three quarters of professors require textbooks for their courses, a recent study from the Babson Group found many also require supplemental materials like articles/case studies (47%) and videos (28%). Intellus Search offers hundreds of educator-selected OER (Open Educational Resources) per course. "Discovering open resources is easy, but finding truly useful resources can be a bit more challenging," said Charles Linsmeier, SVP Content Strategy, Macmillan Learning. "With Intellus Search our goal is to make the process of curating the right open supplemental resources faster and easier for each instructor."
