In recent years, community and technical colleges have quietly been developing a number of curriculum and instruction centers designed to provide a number of excellent resources for their faculty. The Maricopa Community College District has its own Maricopa Center For Learning and Instruction (MCLI) and their website is real find for those teaching at community colleges as well as those generally involved with teaching in institutions of higher education. Visitors can start by perusing their “Programs” section, which contains information about their teaching and learning assessment resources and initiatives. For most visitors, the “Projects” area on their homepage will be the most useful part of the site. This area includes an online weblogging workshop, information about creating a valuable creative writing assignment, and a template for creating web-based slide shows. Finally, the site also includes the Community College Web, which contains over 1200 links to various community colleges around the world.
