Constructing Experiential Learning for Online Courses: The Birth of E-Service - Jean Strait and Tim Sauer, EDUCAUSE Quarterly
.... As the face of higher education evolves with the advent of online formats, it becomes difficult to develop experiences for distance students that continue to provide work-based experiences and engage them as members in their local communities. Conventionally, service-learning experiences are structured in a local community that is usually in proximity to the higher education institution where students are enrolled and to which they can easily gain access. With online courses, students are based in their own communities, which might not be in the same county, state, or even country as the higher education institution. The challenge then is how to provide a quality experience in service-learning while meeting the needs of multiple students in multiple communities. This type of distributed service-learning is called e-service.
