What is community and how might it help you achieve some of your course learning and developmental objectives? Beyond the classroom, what are ways that learning communities help achieve student, faculty, and institutional learning objectives? This session will provide opportunities to reflect on these questions, examine evidence of successful approaches, and consider ways to engage faculty learning communities that can benefit you and your students, colleagues, and institution.
