But Can They Work? Students Learning Outside of the Classroom (Report‪)‬

Abstract As society changes and technology advances, the educator's need to increase engagement in the classroom is paramount. Modified teaching channels must be incorporated into the stale classroom experienced by previous generations. The current research explores experiential learning, specifically Service Learning, as the communication channel for course material. At a faith-based institution valuing Christ, Community, Scholarship, and Service, intentionally integrating these principles into the subject matter can be a challenge. As a result, a more wholistic approach to the course design was sought. The outcome was a comprehensive learning activity which supported the discipline material and more fully engaged students into the service project.
