Learning Communities at Ohlone College

Check back for information about our Fall 2008 semester Learning Communities!

"The learning community has given me confidence enough to be comfortable in myself and want more than I did before."A learning community is a group of 2-5 classes that are linked together. Faculty collaborate to create common themes, assignments, and to make lessons more interactive. Classes are connected to one another so students can easily see the interrelatedness of all that they study.

Learning Communities for Spring 2008:

  • University Express
  • Online Learning Community
  • Learning Community - English/Theatre
  • Learning Community - Speech/Psychology
  • Cohorts

Join a Learning Community

  • "The most valuable thing about being in a learning community was the ability to learn and connect the different subjects together to gain a more complete understanding of all subjects."Become more engaged in your classes
  • Participate in more hands-on, meaningful learning
  • Develop both academic and social support networks of peers and faculty
  • Interact closely with dedicated faculty
  • Develop college success skills

Working in a Learning Community has invigorated and forced me to reinvent myself and how I teach.  It's terrific to have a pal digging in with you, sharing the challenges and the successes.  But most importantly, the learning that the students come away with is jam-packed with those ‘AH HAH!!!’ moments that drew me into teaching in the first place.
- Tom Blank, Theatre Faculty

Learning Communities are a great way to help you succeed through difficult semesters.

Taking classes in a learning community is an experience that can’t be replaced by anything else.
