Members of a CoP areinvolved in new activities, can perform new tasks, and are able to master new understandings [3].LLCs are intended to establish a community of first-year students with similar interests. Thetransition from K-12 education and living at home to moving on campus for higher educationcan be a difficult and an unfamiliar change for many students. LLCs aim to make that adjustmenteasier.
