Paperback / softback
Description
The pressures upon students from employers are greater than ever.
Demands for a highly skilled workforce in a digitalized economy mean that higher education institutions need to do more to prepare their student bodies for this new way of working.
The geographical boundaries set by traditional on-campus courses prevent most universities from allowing online students to engage in community service.
Online service-learning responds to this limitation by initiating the transfer of in-person community service to the online environment.
E-service learning addresses the growing demand for flexible online courses and programs.
Anchored in research and supported by eight years of successful implantation, this book presents an award-winning e-service-learning model which allows students to enhance their employability with real work experience.
Faculty can go beyond theory while building their service requirements, and may use e-service-learning to offer real world applications and hands-on experience.
Clients benefit from pro bono services, and universities are able to fulfill their strategic goals, serve the community-at-large, and grow their online programs by offering students a unique online course experience. This book advocates a model and instructions for faculty to successfully integrate a remote service-learning and consulting component in an online course making this an illuminating text for higher education researchers and leaders alike.
