Learning Communities
A learning community is an intentionally formed group that seeks to support and
advance the learning of each of its members on a selected topic or topics (Lening
et al., 2013, p. 7). In an attempt to facilitate and support the advancement
of teaching at WVU, the Teaching and Learning Commons is planning several learning
communities.
