Digital citizenship: lessons learned as service-learning meets the digital divide
Pages 1 - 7
Abstract
This paper reports preliminary first year results from an "itr"-funded National Science Foundation (NSF) grant enabling two central Iowa universities--Drake and Iowa State--to assess the efficacy of service-learning interventions in the dissemination of Information Technology Literacy (ITL) beyond the campus gates. It introduces service-learning, a pedagogy that promotes mutually beneficial partnerships between academic institutions and communities, and reflects on the particular challenges it poses in practice. After the first eight months, a number of lessons learned are emerging that will significantly impact implementation in years two and three.
