How do I submit information to the Who's Doing What database? The UC Teaching, Learning and technology Center (TLtC) was established by the Office of the President in 2000 as a virtual center-without-walls for two primary purposes: (1) to provide systemwide visibility to campus and faculty efforts in the development and use of teaching and learning technologies; and (2) to provide complementary support to leverage those efforts for the benefit of the entire University. To accomplish these objectives TLtC instituted two major programs: the TLtC collaborative grants program, which awarded up to $600,000 each year in grants to support intercampus collaborations in incorporating teaching and learning technologies [due to the budget crisis, the grants program was suspended in January 2004]; and the TLtC Webzine & Online Forum, an interactive web publication that officially launched in December 2001. >> Learn more about the TLtC by visiting About the TLtC. Q: Why is the "t" in TLtC lowercase? No, it's not a typo. We use a lowercase "t" for "technology" in the TLtC acronym to underscore the Center's guiding principle that technology should be used in support of teaching and learning and not for its own sake.
