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, in conjunction with
TLC Faculty Associates, coordinates several learning communities.
You will be provided the opportunity to collaboratively develop creative solutions
to instructional challenges, share and learn effective instructional strategies
with colleagues, and participate in a community of colleagues with similar interests.
