One definition of a learning community is a group of people in an educational context who share common values and beliefs. They are actively engaged in learning together (including from each other) and may be actively engaged in 'peer tutoring' as well. Such communities have become the template for a cohort-based, interdisciplinary approach to higher education. This is based on an advanced kind of educational (or 'pedagogical') design. Instructors (US) or tutors (UK/EU) may contribute from several distinct fields of study. Learning communities are now fairly common to American colleges and universities. They are also found in the United Kingdom and Europe.
