Abstract
The acronym TLC has typically stood for tender loving care. With the influx of technology into the lives of millions, it might appear that TLC is in short supply; however, the League for Innovation in the Community College has taken this notion of TLC and initiated TLC—Transformational Learning Connections—with the objectives of participation, engagement, and collaboration. TLC’s content supports and endorses the promotional reference to Innovation-at-Your-Fingertips through its web-based, anytime-anywhere resource connection between creators of community college innovations and those interested in adopting them. This article presents the seven TLC features—Innovation Express, TLC Forum, Learning Links, Innovation Database, League Connections, Resources on the Web, and the Innovations Online Conference—and the most recent evolution: Innovation Stream or iStream. iStream includes additions such as online conferences, forums, and iStream Radio, which will host a range of programs, interviews, lectures, and seminars with community college leaders.
Highlights
Credit must be shared with the developers of innovations who have contributed over 5,000 best practices and model programs to the TLC database, and the visitors who access the TLC website in excess of over 1, 000 times a month and have formed a participative audience
Through successive phases and re-invention, TLC has grown to emulate the generation of technological progress, or the e-learning transformation toward e-knowledge
The emerging topics of discussion in distance education no longer focus on the hardware bits and bytes of technology, but rather on the fusion of e-learning—through web-enabled participation, engagement, negotiation, and collaboration—and the intersection of education services and technology defined as e-knowledge [2]
Summary
As an interactive online community bringing together the resources of League member colleges to provide a dynamic medium for exchanging successful innovations, TLC focuses on improving the specific multipronged missions of community colleges: learning, leadership, student services, technology, and workforce development. B. Remember the Dick-and-Jane books and the first words you learned—the biggest word of all—LOOK. TLC’s content supports seven resource features and endorses the promotional reference, Innovation-atYour-Fingertips. These seven designated features—Innovation Express, TLC Forum, Learning Links, Innovation Database, League Connections, Resources on the Web, and the Innovations Online Conference—offer broad and discrete resources and services
