In 1990, the current authors with Faith Gabelnick authored their first book about learning community initiatives, which has gone on to become one of the most widely cited volumes in the New Directions for Teaching and Learning series. In this chapter, they reflect on the developments and evolution of learning communities since that time, including their reflections on each chapter from the present volume.
