What about service learning matters?  Using a taxonomy to identify variables to improve research and practice
With Julie Hatcher and Tom Hahn

Webinar from the International Association for Research on Service-Learning and Community Engagement
Wednesday, September 30, 2015, 1:00-2:00 PM (Register Here)
Center for Faculty Excellence, 316 Gannett Center

Join us to learn more about how we can use research to improve our work in service learning. Efforts to move research and scholarship on service learning courses forward remain fundamental to the mission of IARSLCE and are of great importance to higher education, in general. This webinar will share current work by the IUPUI Center for Service and Learning (CSL) to develop a taxonomy for service learning courses based on current literature.  The goals of this taxonomy project include: (1) to support institutional assessment and research on high impact practices (HIPS); (2) to inform and advance a research agenda for service learning by identifying those variables (dimensions of the course design that may vary from low to high) that relate to student outcomes, specifically civic outcomes, and (3) to develop a means for working with faculty to support the fidelity/quality of service learning course design as HIP. Webinar participants will have the opportunity to provide their input to the taxonomy through both comments/questions to the presenters and through a Google Doc spreadsheet of the taxonomy.
