The eFLC was a practicum in which five peer coaching pairs, consisting of one coach and one coachee from interdisciplinary content areas, worked together using action research, literature review, collaboration, and knowledge sharing to construct their personal teaching philosophies about eLearning and enhance best practices concurrent with their course implementation. The eFLC pairs tested the functions of new technologies, like Web 2.0, mobile devices, ANGEL (the state LMS), Elluminate (the state live virtual classroom software), other hardware within their course content, they also read and discussed current literature on Web 2.0 education. The pairs were responsible for meeting bi monthly and informally on a needs basis, they also met asynchronously continuously throughout the year as a whole community using the BTC NING platform to hold discussion forms and blogging exchanges.
 * Welcome to the Bellingham Technical College Mini Anthology ** Developed Best Practice from the eFaculty Learning Community of 2009-2010
 * //Overview of Project://**

With the guidance of the elearning instructional designer on our campus, pairs studied student data and forms of curriculum enhancement then set goals for trying out new tools and designs which fit the context of each member’s instructional delivery. They presented ideas throughout the year (once a month) to other interested faculty on campus. In addition, each pair presented a virtual session to a regional elearning community consisting of Western Washington University, Whatcom Community College, North West Indian College, Mount Vernon Community College, and Everett Community College. In the end, the entire group contributed to this wiki as a mini anthology reflecting their BTC best practice initiatives for other Washington State community and technical colleges to glean new ideas from.

As the year came to a close (Spring), the eFLC coachees prepared to become eFLC coaches to new members in the 2010-2011 school year.
