Summary:

"This How to guide provides a clear and practical roadmap for scholars and practitioners designing and teaching community-engaged learning courses. Building on decades of first-hand practical experience and academic research, leading experts suggest interactive and compelling activities which will engage and inspire students now and throughout their careers and have positive impacts on communities. As well as highlighting the most relevant topics and resources, supported by a clear glossary of terms, this guide empowers newcomers to successfully navigate thorny ethical and logistical challenges. It argues that community engaged learning serves as a powerful antidote to the panic caused by AI in education by prioritizing authentic human interactions, from awkward moments and humility to humor and trust-building. It helps instructors move beyond passive learning strategies and facilitate transformative learning experiences which are highly valued by students. Whether you are a course instructor, administrator or a community partner, this book provides the know-how and skill to transform small yet powerful ideas into a successful reality"-- Provided by publisher.
