On July 1, the Florida Distance Learning Consortium officially became part of the new Florida Virtual Campus (FLVC). Joining FDLC in the transition were the Florida Center for Advising and Academic Support (FCAAS, aka “FACTS.org”), the Florida Center for Library Automation (FCLA), and the College Center for Library Automation (CCLA). Section 1006.73, Florida Statutes, establishes FLVC to provide access to online student and library support services, and to serve as a statewide resource and clearinghouse for technology-based public postsecondary education distance learning courses and degree programs.
The Higher Education Distance Learning Course Catalog and its related services have been integrated into a new FLVC website at www.flvc.org.
