Abstract

This chapter will outline an instructor's attempts to incorporate service-learning into an online college course in the fall of 2014, utilizing a well-respected institutional philanthropic program. The chapter will describe the pedagogical challenges faced by the instructor as she attempted to integrate the service-learning components into an already established curriculum and will share the tools and strategies that she employed with her students. The chapter will address the benefits and challenges as identified by the instructor and the students in the class and will also share several unanticipated rewards that occurred as a result of the philanthropic partnership. The chapter will also offer some practical application ideas for others wishing to incorporate service-learning component into their online classes.
