Introduction to Human Communication COM 100 “Service Learning & Civic Engagement for Online Students” Dr. Christy Beckman January 31, 2014

MCC’s commitment to service learning & civic engagement

Pondering: How to integrate when...

Fall 2013: A social worker friend asked if I wanted to help with a start up schedule for “Take Them a Meal”

Online Students: YES! Let’s do it!

So we did!

And we did it again!

Lessons Learned. 1. Register the agency

2. Funding

3. Bridge

For example: chapter quizzes & readiness tests

4. Sharing between Canvas classes  WIKIS: software is outdated and no longer supported by Apple – therefore we are decommissioning the WIKIS.  Change the conversation from adjusting our needs to fit the tool to assessing the need and finding the best solutions.  College Technology Services is looking to develop a centralized location for:  Sharing Information  Team Collaboration  Storing Documents
