Learning Communities as a High-Impact Practice
Among a number of other educational practices, learning communities have been described as “high-impact,” due to the “unusually positive benefits that accrue to students” including “enhanced engagement in a variety of educationally purposeful tasks; gains in deep, integrative learning; salutary effects for students from historically underserved populations (that is, students get a boost in their performance); and higher persistence and graduation rates. (Kuh and Kinzie, 2018)
