The Consortium of Illinois Learning Communities, formed in 2002, seeks to promote and support the development of learning communities in Illinois colleges and universities. The CILC sponsors an annual Best Practices Symposium, offers expertise to institutions seeking to develop learning communities, and provides a means of facilitating collaboration between member institutions to address their challenges.

This website was established to provide information about the consortium, as well as serve as a forum where faculty and administrators from member institutions can share information about how to plan, teach, and promote learning communities.

2013 Best Practices Symposium

Thanks to everyone who made this year's Best Practices Symposium, "Build Your Own Symposium: Learning as a Community" held on Friday, April 5, 2013, a success. Special thanks to our hosts at Northern Illinois University for all their support! Presentation materials are now posted under the "Documents" tab; descriptions of the Poster Sessions are also attached below. Watch this space for information on next year's symposium, as well as other CILC projects.

Linking Together

In order to aid members in finding out what other colleges are doing with their programs, under our "Links" tab, we've been adding links to various institution's Learning Communities websites. If your college or university has an LC website that you'd like to have added to our list, please contact us at allenj@cod.edu.
