About
The University of Dayton recognizes the vast potential of a community of minds, and has answered this potential with the Learning Village.
Collaboration, connectivity, and community are the hallmarks of this all-encompassing concept which places learning at the forefront of every endeavor.
Collaboration - The Learning Village encourages collaboration among faculty members, staff members and students; extending learning
beyond the traditional notions of classroom instruction by incorporating campus life, community service, and professional experiences
into an active and rich learning process-thereby embracing the theory of "learning by doing." Collaboration in the Learning Village
comes in many forms with a variety of outcomes, ultimately furthering the University of Dayton community on the path to producing distinctive
graduates via an environment of connected learning and scholarship.
Connectivity - A fundamental characteristic of the Learning Village is its emphasis on "connectedness." Students, faculty members,
and staff members are linked to one another and to communities outside the University through a robust data and communications network
that provides a vast array of voice, data and video applications that enhance learning, facilitate communication and ease collaboration
among learners. In addition, a wide array of interactive spaces, incorporated into classroom buildings, residence halls, and the student
neighborhood, bring the distinctive members of the campus community together, face-to-face. The interconnections among learning and
living are key attributes that drive the vision of a community that is committed to learning beyond the traditional notions of the classroom.
Overall, this vision of the Learning Village is one of an enriched learning environment complete with resources that are available where we gather,
where we live and where we work, on demand and around the clock.
Community - Not only does the Learning Village foster a campus-wide community, but also it reaches for a broadened connection with the
larger community of Dayton. The opportunities to nurture and build equal partnerships with diverse constituencies will serve to challenge our minds,
reward our hearts and test our resolve. The transformation of the campus and the surrounding community into an interconnected, collaborative
Learning Village where students, faculty and staff work side by side as learners and servant leaders is a truly bold vision for the University of Dayton
as it enters the 21st century.
The possibility for boundless advancement via collaboration, connectivity, and community inspires and drives the Learning Village.
The University of Dayton is transforming itself through the talents, energies and passions of its students, faculty and staff,
and the Learning Village serves as the focal point for this evolution in our learning.
