Abstract: Learning Circles are a low-cost blended learning model for delivering short-term (6-12 week) instruction using trained volunteer facilitators and online courses or learning resources. In this presentation we talked about learning circles offered primarily through libraries, and a new pilot of English language circles offered for immigrants on waiting lists for English classes at five adult basic skills programs in New England.
