For almost two decades, Holyoke Community College has been helping students integrate their learning through Learning Communities (LCs). At their core, LCs have four essential features: interdisciplinary subject matter, collaborative learning pedagogy, team-teaching, and integrated assessment. They provide an alternative to traditional college general education course offerings by connecting courses often perceived as unrelated. In an LC a common theme or purpose is used to integrate courses and provide coherence, rather than subject matter alone. LCs strive to build both academic and social communities of learners. In LCs faculty teach together, while students learn cooperatively and collaborate on assignments. By all student, faculty and staff accounts, the Learning Communities Program is one of Holyoke Community College’s ongoing success stories. Learning Communities
(LCs) help under-prepared students prepare, prepared students to advance, and advanced students to excel, while providing a transformational professional development opportunity for LC faculty.
The Holyoke Community College Library provides students with the resources to fulfill their classroom assignments and to expand their education beyond the classroom into their daily lives. The research strategies acquired while learning to use the Library effectively will provide students with lifelong learning skills to assist them in finding appropriate information, evaluating it critically, and synthesizing it into knowledge.
