Abstract: The purpose of this study is to analyze to what extent communities of practice influence improved academic performance as well as faster adaptability to online classroom settings among U.S. active military students. The study is related to college-level business education courses that were conducted in hybrid online/in-class environment. It provides general insights into how different elements of communities of practice, such as use of collaborative tools, project/time management, knowledge base access, and participation in various student-based organizations at universities are used among military online students to achieve improved overall academic performance in terms of better final grades and course assessment results compared to traditional, non-military students in similar online classrooms.
