These modules are meant as a tool to assist professors and teachers who are interested in incorporating service-learning in their current courses, but do not have the time to learn more about it in a group setting. The modules give users the opportunity to learn and work at their own pace. The modules are divided into specific topics, including a discussion of what defines service-learning and the various steps involved in the implementation of service-learning pedagogy.
