Learning communities are environments in which students with similar academic interests come together to support each other's learning and personal development. These communities may be formal or informal, but all aim to foster collaboration, engagement, and a sense of belonging among their members. They can take many forms, such as residential communities, academic programs, or extracurricular groups. Research in this area examines the impact of learning communities on student success, retention, and overall academic experience. It also explores the best practices for designing and implementing effective learning communities that meet the needs of diverse student populations.
