Integrating a Service Learning Activity into a Course

Presenter:

  • Kelly Anthony (AHS) 

Dr. Anthony discussed her involvement with the Community Service Learning group and how she has been able to make a Community Service learning opportunity available as an option to students in her course. In lieu of completing a more traditional assignment, students in her course have the option of working directly with a community group. Dr. Anthony explained how this option is incorporated into the course and how those who take this option are able enrich the classroom discussions and add details to the course readings.  As well, Dr. Anthony shared what has been learned from the experience and how it has influenced what the students do in the academic, community, workplace or social environments as a result of the experience.
