Teaching and Learning Center

Richland Community College’s Teaching and Learning Center (TLC) is devoted to developing and providing programs and services for faculty, staff, and students that enhance the teaching and learning process through the use of technology. TLC staff are committed to working with all members of the College community while harnessing technology to fulfill the charge of preparing intellectually and technically competent students for success.

Richland uses the Canvas Learning Management System for all credit courses and for some non-credit courses. A learning management system (LMS) is a software application that allows for the delivery and management of course content.

Students enrolling in Online or Hybrid classes should already possess the skills needed to use basic word processing programs, create folders, browse for files, save files to other drives, save files as different file types, rename or delete files, cut, copy and paste, drag and drop, install plug-ins, attach and download files, send emails (with and without attachments), and post messages to discussion boards.

TLC staff and Student Tech Support assist students with a variety of technical queries such as login questions, e-mail account sign-in, navigation in an online course, access and navigation in the student information system, and technical questions regarding personal computer systems requirements and troubleshooting.

Student Tech Support may be contacted by e-mail at student.tech@richland.edu, by phone at 217.875.7211, Ext. 6376, or by visiting the TLC (Room W202). Appointments are also available by clicking here. Visit the Teaching and Learning Center webpage for more information.
