Best Practices of Online Teaching in Service-Learning
Anne Y. Branscum
Journal of Service-Learning in Higher Education, v18 p5-11 2024
As the world is evolving, higher education is too. This includes online service-learning which in the past has been predominantly delivered in formats off-line or hybrid. This article describes some best practices to make the online service-learning experience beneficial for all who are involved and accessible to more students, including students who previously did not have access to service-learning courses due to the nature of the delivery and/or format of the course. Best practices to overcome some of the limitations that online courses present include high levels of instructor/facilitator involvement, creative collaborations, communication, and using different course material delivery methods. Although teaching online takes time, training, and practice, it is an investment to larger gains in student access and to keep up with trends and demands in the real world.
