Learning Communities
Learning Communities as a High-Impact Learning Practice (from AAC&U):
"The key goals for learning communities are to encourage integration of
learning across courses and to involve students with “big questions”
that matter beyond the classroom. Students take two or more linked
courses as a group and work closely with one another and with their
professors. Many learning communities explore a common topic and/or
common readings through the lenses of different disciplines. Some
deliberately link 'liberal arts' and 'professional courses'; others
feature service-learning."
