Academics in Action - Service-Learning as Curriculum
- an Online Workshop

|
This online course
is designed to deliver our regional workshop, Academics in Action, a one-day
(7-hour) workshop, via distance learning. Rather than physically traveling to a
site and participating in face-to-face discussions and activities with fellow
attendees, you will gain your knowledge via a variety of approaches:
-
Online
lessons delivered via text, video and audio formats
-
Conducting your
case study analyses online rather than in small discussion groups
-
Presenting
your findings and demonstrating your learning online rather than in person
-
If
enrolled with a team, you will be able to share your ideas in a
Collaboration web page set up for your team
-
You will
receive individualized support via email from the facilitator.
Upon the conclusion
of this workshop/course, and the presentation of your Framework for a Service
Learning Project, you will receive the same certificate of completion as
participants who have attended this workshop on-site in various cities. This
may be presented to your school district for credit toward professional
development hours. Certificates are for 7 hours of professional development.

real projects done by students. You will find answers to these questions and
more:
