My personal view about learning community

• Introduction:

I don't really know what is learning community is all about before. But then when our instructor discuss about it I have come to realized the importance of learning community. The knowledge in the learning community becomes broader. Through the sharing of facts and ideas the learning is more interesting because you will know the ideas of everyone. By this, many people

likes to share their ideas because they are heard and appreciated. Learning community really helps the teachers specially those who are future teachers.


• Body:

Learning community is a group of people who share common values and beliefs, are actively engaged in learning together from each other. The learning community approach fundamentally restructures the curriculum, and the time and space of students. Many different curricular restructuring models are being used, but all of the learning community models intentionally link together courses or coursework to provide greater curricular coherence, more opportunities for active teaming, and interaction between students and faculty. Universities are often drawn to learning communities because research has shown that they improve student retention rates. Emily Lardner and Gillies Malnarich of the Washington Center at Ever green State College note that a learning community can have a much greater impact on students:The camaraderie of co-enrollment may help students stay in school longer, but learning communities can offer more: curricular coherence; integrative, high-quality learning; collaborative knowledge-construction; and skills and knowledge relevant to living in a complex, messy, diverse world. Studies show that enrollment in a learning community has a powerful effect on student learning and achievement.

What You Can Expect in a Learning Community:

Within a designated Learning Community class, you can expect to experience a collaborative learning environment. You can also expect participate in your community through active learning that connects to the real world. Although commuter students typically don’t have time to stay after classes and interact with fellow students, faculty, or counselors, a “Learning Community” experience gives you opportunities to learn, collaborate, and bond with diverse students and caring faculty

e-learning

• E learning is a way to get your education without having to attend a conventional classroom. You take your courses from home via the computer.

• E learning has become the newest craze of the modern day society. With the technology of computers and the internet, e learning has become a way for people to get their education but do it on their own time and in their own homes. E learning is basically an internet based education that some schools provide in order to accommodate people who do not have the transportation, time or ability to get to an actual educational center.

++ Education

Education is a life long journey for every person. A person experiences most of their education through school from grade school all the way to high school and even college. We also experience education through life challenges.

Education is the information that you are taught by others and also what you learn on your own. People pay a lot of money to achieve the higher education in order to maintain good paying jobs.
