Rebecca,
Good points - yes, the learning community is enriched by diversity.
Dr. Ruth Reynard
Learning communities also privide the students in the group the opportunity to interact with inviduals with different preferred interaction styles, in a safe and monitored environment, under the guidance of the instructor.
Rebecca,
Yes, a community of learners is great! Peer tutoring is one of the central benefits...
Dr. Ruth Reynard
I agree that different students can be taught together. Sometimes weaker students with stronger students can help the weaker ones have the aha experience when they watch how other students interact and process.
Bettye,
Good points - the learning process is a continuum for every student and with a group pf students. It continues and expands as the group participates and learns from each member..
