A purposeful restructuring of curriculum to link together courses or coursework so that students find greater coherence in what they are learning and greater interaction with faculty and peers. Accessed November 30, Learning Communities (LCs) Virtual Learning Communities (VLCs) Face-to-face interactions in a Learning Community are replaced with online interactions that can occur anytime and anywhere.

Basic Considerations Participation in Learning Communities (LCs) improves student understanding of science and mathematics Participation in Learning Communities (LCs) improves student understanding of science and mathematics LCs foster greater integration of mathematics and science concepts LCs foster greater integration of mathematics and science concepts The basic (face-2-face) LC concept is not easily scalable The basic (face-2-face) LC concept is not easily scalable Virtual Learning Communities (VLCs) based on mobile computing technology are scalable and generalizable Virtual Learning Communities (VLCs) based on mobile computing technology are scalable and generalizable

Features of Virtual Learning Community Project All students and faculty are equipped with appropriate technology for full participation in the VLC All students and faculty are equipped with appropriate technology for full participation in the VLC Coordination of core themes in chemistry and math courses Coordination of core themes in chemistry and math courses Communication and Collaboration features of a LC are carried out in a virtual environment Communication and Collaboration features of a LC are carried out in a virtual environment Virtual TA Virtual TA VLC constructed from commercially available software VLC constructed from commercially available software Initial implementation in CHM-102 and MAT-161 Initial implementation in CHM-102 and MAT-161
