Toolbox of Service-Learning Resources

A collection of resources and guides to help staff and faculty at UC and other institutions develop, maintian, and strengthen their service-learning programs and courses

The Service-Learning Toolbox is a curated collection of resources designed to aid in the development and improvement of service-learning programs. By offering sample syllabi, administrative guides, and other resources from the University of Cincinnati Service-Learning community, we hope to create a collection of open educational resources that can be utilized directly or adapted for the use of faculty and administrators at other colleges and universities.

If you would like to submit a resource to our toolkit or if you would like to request the development of a resource, please contact Daniel Mattox at UCincyPressAEditor@ucmail.uc.edu.

    UC’s co-op learning program has long benefited students in subjects like engineering and computer science that have well-establish education-to-career pipelines.

  • Service-Learning Collaboratory

    Keywords: Course Description, Pedagogy, Course Design, Community Impact, Partnerships

    The Service Learning Collaboratory gives students the opportunity to explore and meet a community need as part of a cross-disciplinary team charged with completing a specific project. Each term, the model is the same but the subjects and collaborators change to cover a variety of industries and disciplines. Students can expect relatively little traditional lecture. Much of their learning occurs through interactions with peers, instructors, clients and expert guests. The result is student learning that is active, engaged, hands-on and real.
