Preparing Students to Meet Community Needs Through Academic Service Learning
Service learning, as applied within an educational environment, is defined as a teaching and learning tool.  This teaching and learning tool combines community service with academic study in ways that motivate student learning.  Students are required to actively participate in structured events which give them opportunities to plan and use skills and knowledge learned in the classroom to address community needs in real-life situations.  In this manner, service learning extends beyond the classroom and fosters a sense of caring for others in the community. The key components to consider when designing a service learning component for a course is to include an academically-based community service project directed at addressing any aspect of community health needs combined with an academically structured learning experience. The student is involved in selecting, designing, implementing, assessing and reflecting on the learning experience, and participating in addressing any aspect of health and disease concerns within the community.
Thus, students are able to see the connection between service and academic work. Success of the service learning activity is evaluated against not only whether the course teaching objectives are met but also whether the community partner’s need objectives and the student’s learning objectives are met. The benefits and implications of a service learning activity are evident at multiple levels and extend beyond the borders of Langston University.  Regardless of the course or discipline, using service learning as a teaching and learning tool serves to enhance student learning and create strong community-campus partnerships.

Objectives: By the end of this presentation, participants will be able to:

1.     Explain what is academic service learning
2.     Identify components of an academic service learning project.
3.     Describe process for adding service learning to an academic course.
4.     Value role of faculty as facilitator in academic service learning.
5.     Recognize the benefits of academic service learning

Good morning, All,

We have exciting news!!!! We have now added even greater access to your professional/faculty development here at Langston University. All school deans and faculty members have been added to an ongoing course in D2L. From this course you will have access to the call for proposals, faculty development calendars, webniars (for live or archive viewing), presenter content, and evaluations. Below you will find a link to a navigation video, or simply log into your new LU Faculty Development course and check out the current content. If you find you or someone you know is not a part of the course, please let us know immediately and we will add to our list. Please remember we are always engaging in continuous improvement to deliver our best service, but feedback is always welcome.

Access to the presentations will not change.

There are three ways you can participate in faculty development. The format for presentations have been revised to offer you as the faculty ample opportunities to connect with your colleagues and receive beneficial information for practice.

All presentations, unless otherwise posted, will take place in person, in Gandy Hall, first floor, Rooms 106-108, which is the computer lab. You may either attend this session in person, or utilize the other two options.

All sessions will be broadcast as webinars, as they are occurring. This method will allow you to attend the session from any location you wish.  You will have access to Adobe Connect in two ways, through the D2L course or from the link posted in each D2L calendar event. In live presentations you will be able to ask questions to the presenter via the chat box on screen. If you are not sure about Adobe Connect or have no experience with it, please contact CTI in advance of the presentation and they will assist you with getting set up 405-466-2001.

The third option, allows you to watch the presentation as an archived file in the D2L course, immediately after the presentation takes place. For questions, comments, or suggestions to the presenter, you will need to contact that presenter through email.

We are also offering three ways to evaluate presentations this year, you will have the choice to receive a paper version in person, you will be able to download an evaluation from the D2L content section, or select the presenters name in the content section and enter your response into a google form.

Please let us know if you have any questions, comments, or concerns, or simply require additional information by responding to the email.
