Developing a Comprehensive Learning Community Program: Providing a Historical Perspective
Workman, Jamie L.; Redington, Lyn
Learning Communities: Research & Practice, v3 n2 Article 7 2015
This is the first of a three-part series which will share information about how a mid-size, comprehensive university developed a learning community program, including a residential curriculum. Through intentional collaboration and partnerships, the team, comprised of faculty and staff throughout the university, developed a "multi-year plan for learning communities to help create and support an intentional, integrative and transformational experience that is student-centered, faculty-led, and administratively supported" (UNI, 2014).
