those wishing to deepen their experience through individual and
small group active learning exercises. The learning community
will meet on campus from 11:30am-1:00pm every Wednesday for the
duration of the online course. Learning community discussions
will focus on online content presented in the previous week. The
first meeting will take place on Wed, Oct. 15 and the last
meeting will take place on Wed, Nov. 26. In order to have rich
and continuing discussions on teaching and learning, we ask that
learning community
<b>registrants commit to regularly attending the Wednesday
sessions*</b>. If you are interested in joining the MIT local
