A Message from the Director

Using Indirect and Advocacy Service in Online Service Learning Environments

Service learning projects connect the curriculum to a community-identified service in direct, indirect, and advocacy areas. Many service learning classes choose direct service where students engage with clients and/or the community in a face-to-face fashion. Many other service learning projects engage in indirect service or advocacy that are easier to translate into an online format.

Indirect service learning projects do not require face-to-face engagement. In indirect service learning projects, students complete a project through research, development, online interviews, etc.

Advocacy is another type of service in which students address the root problem of a community issue to change policy and/or improve life for the community. This can occur in online environments.

In response to COVID-19, UNO implemented remote learning effective March 30th requiring service learning courses to migrate into a new delivery platform. Because some of our service learning courses planned face-to-face interactions, faculty members and community partners will make necessary edits to service learning interactions in some courses.
