TLC Home

Welcome to Fresno City College's Teaching and Learning Center-Online

The mission of Teaching and Learning Center (TLC) is to maintain and improve teaching excellence and to promote a creative and stimulating learning environment for faculty and staff so that they can develop the skills required to make use of developing technologies.

The TLC at Fresno City College is the result of a three-year dream.  This facility was made possible with financing from the general fund, private donors, as well as state and federal grants.  The state-of-the-art TLC became fully functional in Fall 2003. 

The primary focus of the TLC is to support the professional development of staff and to assist faculty in their efforts to enhance instructional programs. The TLC provides instructional development activities, instructional materials, multi-media equipment, and consultation in course development and integrating the use of instructional technology. This innovative center is devoted to the professional development of faculty and staff and is intended to be a meeting room to facilitate discussion of pedagogical and curriculum content issues.
