Effects of Learning Communities on Community College Student Outcomes

What Are “Learning Communities”? Popular intervention to improve academic performance among college students. Four features: 1)Co-enrollment: Groups of about 25 students are co-enrolled in two or more courses. 2)Instructor Collaboration: Instructors collaborate on both curriculum and helping struggling students. 3)Curricular Integration: Courses are thematically linked and include joint syllabi and assignments. 4)Additional Supports: Students get enhanced academic support and\or counseling.

Queensborough Community College : Linked Developmental Math with a College- Level Course Merced College: Linked Developmental English and a variety of courses Houston Community College: Linked Developmental Math with a Student Success Course Hillsborough Community College: Linked Developmental Reading with a Student Success Course Community College of Baltimore County: Linked Developmental English, a College-level Course, and Seminar Evaluation Focused on Learning Communities Targeting Dev Ed Students at Six Community Colleges Kingsborough Community College: Linked English with a College-level course and a student success course

Implementation Findings Programs operated at a fairly large scale, each enrolling several hundred students over 2 or 3 semesters. Programs were implemented with reasonable fidelity, although with considerable variation in curricular integration. - Variation within college more than variation between colleges Average cost of learning communities was about $500 per student, above base costs.

*** Targeted Subject (English or Math) – Cumulative Credits Earned

All Courses – Cumulative Credits Earned

What Is Different about the Kingsborough Opening Doors program and setting? Targeted both college-ready students and students with developmental needs Much stronger support services component Early momentum in accumulating credits from 3-course links and inter-sessions Unusually strong support of college leaders
