Human-Centered Community Engagement in Online Education: Developing a Critical Online Service-Learning Pedagogy
Tyler Derreth
Michigan Journal of Community Service Learning, v30 n2 2024
With the continued growth in online education, higher education institutions have moved community engagement further into virtual spaces through e-service learning courses (Faulconer, 2021). These courses have a history of being client-based, rather than critical or transformational (Strait & Nordyke, 2015). I argue that this conception of e-service learning stems from an entrenched neoliberalism. In response, this paper proposes a humanity-centered, anti-neoliberal pedagogical framework: critical online service-learning (COSL). This pedagogy expands opportunities for access, equity, and solidarity through humanity-centered methods of instruction in the midst of higher education's neoliberal turn. The COSL framework relies on three converging nexuses (student-community, global-local, and individual-structural) that reframe seeming limitations of e-service learning into critical advantages for deepening student learning and advancing community goals all through a fully online experience.
