The Illinois Learning Web is in its initial development stages.

ILW is currently in testing and your comments and feedback are encouraged so that we can make ILW a more useful resource for you. Official public release of ILW is expected in late February.

Proposal:

The Illinois Cooperative Collection Management Coordinating Committee (CCMC) sponsor a Curriculum Materials Center (CMC) WorldWide Web Homepage for the state of Illinois. The CCMC goal of sharing resources has had limited application for curriculum libraries or curriculum materials centers because of considerable need of these materials locally. High demand has made inter-institutional circulation impractical or restricted. One suggestion to remedy this situation has been to institute regional centers for curriculum materials. The proposal for a CMC Web Homepage furthers the ideal of access by making selected curriculum information available electronically.

Curriculum Materials Center Homepage Purpose:

A CMC homepage would serve the purpose of bringing together and making easily accessible educational information to all potential users in the state of Illinois, including personnel of schools and school systems, parents, and students, as well as to faculty and students in institutions of higher education. Librarians who serve in curriculum materials centers at any level of education or in public libraries would also benefit from the easy availability of this service.

Curriculum Materials Center Homepage Content:

A CMC homepage would include public documents published by the Illinois State Board of Education, local or regional boards, or official educational agencies, for example certification requirements, accreditation criteria, goals, standards, statistics, and directories. Links to regional or other institutional curriculum center homepages would provide access to their locally developed information. The CMC homepage would also include other documents which support the educational process, teacher education, and student teaching. Documents and links within the framework of the original focus would continue to be added.
