Join a Learning Circle

We believe that your learning experience in the course will be most powerful if you can take the course with others in a learning circle. A learning circle is a facilitated, in-person study group for learners who are all registered in the course.

We’ve created the Learning Circle Facilitator's Guide for to give you the tools you need to form and lead a learning circle. In this guide are tools for suggested discussion topics and activities for meetings, but we encourage your learning circle to interact with the course in the ways that seem most valuable and productive for your needs. The way in which your learning circle engages with the course is entirely up to you. 

The Facilitator’s Guide has ideas and strategies for working collaboratively, including:

  • Text for keeping participants organized
  • Suggested agenda for meetings
  • Questions to prompt discussions about course content
  • Strategies for making assignments and activities more collaborative
