eService-Learning

This book serves as an introduction to using online teaching technologies and hybrid forms of teaching for experiential learning and civic engagement. eService-Learning (electronic service-learning) combines service-learning and online learning and enables the delivery of the instruction and/or the service to occur partially or fully online. eService-Learning allows students anywhere, regardless of geography, physical constraints, work schedules, or other access limitations, to experience this high-impact pedagogy. It creates a world of opportunities to connect students with communities across the globe-as well as on their very own doorstep. This book introduces the reader to the four emerging types of eService-Learning, which range from Extreme eService-Learning, where 100% of the instruction and 100% of the service occur online, to three distinct types of hybrid models, where either the service or the instruction is delivered wholly online or where service and instruction are delivered both on-site and online. This book will appeal to educational and community partners seeking to collaborate remotely, and to online instructors who want to engage their students through service.
