The author reports on recent efforts by community college faculty to make the teaching and learning from their classrooms more visible. Spurred on by numerous reports that point to the urgency around basic skills education, faculty members at California community colleges are working together to improve teaching of basic skills, using a variety of methods. The author particularly notes the variety of applications for multimedia websites: (1) as archives of teaching and research materials; (2) as hands-on resources for teachers who can download materials and study their implementation in an actual classroom; and (3) as tools for professional development. This kind of documentation and exchange leads to discussion, research, experimentation, data collection and further inquiry, processes that can be recorded and shared. The more visible teaching becomes, and the more durable its best practices, the better for both students and instructors.
