FPLC Template Instructions

From CTLpedia

Below are some basic instructions for using the FPLC templates created for CTLpedia. For help editing your page, see the Help page accessible from the Help navigation link on the left.

Before you begin, you may ask why we are doing this. The first reason is that you can get more out of an experience by reflecting on what you are doing and learning, so the CTLpedia pages are first to motivate you to reflect on your FPLC experience. Second, the FPLC program is very concerned with outcomes. Because we tout ourselves as a program that can increase faculty and staff engagement in making our college more learner centered, we count on your semi-public reflections to document the changes in practice associated with the program.

Here are some instructions for what to do the first time you login to the CTLpedia.
