Service Learning in Online Courses
Abstract
Service learning exists as one method to foster interaction and engagement in face-to-face classes, but often presents a challenge when instructors try to incorporate these opportunities in their online courses. Online students are most often geographically dispersed, therefore making project management more difficult for the instructor. Additionally, it is more difficult for instructors to form long-term community partnerships, as their distance learners are not members of one, local community. Although a challenge, incorporating service learning in an online course can be an effective way to increase opportunities for engagement, collaboration, and interaction. Service learning can also help online students feel connected to their own communities and, additionally, provide a unique opportunity to reflect on ways to apply their course learning experientially. This chapter discusses the unique benefits and challenges of incorporating service learning in online courses, and also presents ideas and examples for e-service learning.
