Learning Communities: Information and Resources

"Learning Communities" are an innovative and interdisciplinary approach to education where two or more faculty team up to teach courses. Ventura College is beginning to explore using this approach. Dr. Robert Porter and Dr. Sara Gallaway are piloting some courses that combine American Government and American History. Some other faculty are also beginning to get involved. Below are some resources for those interested in this approach. Check the Spring schedule of classes if you are interested in enrolling in "The American Democratic Experiment and You" learning community. Please email Dr. Robert Porter at rporter@vcccd.edu or call at 654-6400 ext. 2471 if you have any questions.
