CILC updates

An important update. We have consolidated our approximately 30 program listings on the Center for Interactive Learning and Collaboration down to five core listings. Maintaining a large number of separate listings has become difficult to manage both on our website and on CILC.

Each CILC listing now links to the full program details on our website, including standards alignments, supplemental resources, and learning objectives.

When booking through CILC, customers should indicate their specific program choice in the “Additional Information for Content Provider to Know” field during the booking process.

If this causes any issues for you or you have any questions, please let us know.
