What is BLEU4ed?

This Digital Learning gateway is the result of a partnership between Dillard University and the MERLOT (Multimedia Educational Resource for Learning and Online Teaching) organization. It represents Dillard University’s commitment to student success by providing affordable educational alternatives to traditional textbooks as well as quality digital learning materials for 21st century curriculum development for all delivery types: traditional, blended, hybrid, and online. BLEU4ed represents DU’s investment in our staff by providing open educational resources that promote 21st century career and technical skills attainment and updating, stackable credentials and lifelong learning.

Here you'll find a wealth of open educational resources (OER) for students, faculty, and staff in one convenient location.
