Introduction
to Community-Based Learning (CBL):
Community-based Learning, also known as service-learning, can be a
transformative, high-impact learning experience and can contribute to improved
community-campus relationships. In this workshop, you will learn basic
principles of community-based learning course design. In this workshop, you
will identify potential community-based learning opportunities for one of your
courses and begin redesigning a course to incorporate CBL. Subsequent workshops
will focus on specific elements of community-based learning such as aligning
community-based learning experiences with learning outcomes, applying best
practices for student reflection, and developing mutually beneficial
partnerships with community organizations.
