An Introduction to Learning Community

Learning community, a theory that has gained popularity in the USA and many European countries over the past twenty years, has made a tremendous influence upon each aspect of education. There is no universal definition of it, but there is a general consensus that learning community develops through the cooperative efforts of the group members within the environment that al - lows all the members to achieve shared goals. Learning is not merely based on individual's efforts, but mainly on the collective ex- periences of learning community.
