The Service Learning Module is a web site (log in as guest, password clunet) to be used by faculty and students. Faculty will use the module to incorporate service learning into a course. Students will use the module to learn the basics on service learning. Both groups will have access to a collection of sample service learning projects, a database of sites where students may go to find service learning opportunities, and a collection of materials on service learning including Internet resources and organizations. Silva will also have a service learning WebCT course where all of her students from different classes will come together to share experiences in the online community created within WebCT. |

The instructor in this School of Education "Methods of Teaching Reading and Language Arts" course had a great deal of material that needed to be more accessible to the students. The project involved transferring course materials and lesson plans to a redesigned web site, the development of topical web link pages, the addition of students' work to the web site, and the digitizing of videotaped teaching examples that are now distributed via CD ROM. Desired student outcomes include an increase in: electronic discussions related to teaching reading strategies; the number of successful, proven strategies that students share with each other; discussion of the reading content addressed in the textbooks beyond the dimension of class time; number of student work samples published to the page; and the amount of collaborative feedback.This project incorporates streaming video of experienced teachers presenting reading lessons. |
