Crossing Boundaries through Service Learning and eService Learning in LIS Education
Reimagine education in the age of AI through service learning and eService learning. This session examines how integrating community engagement with digital environments strengthens critical thinking, ethical information practices, and global engagement. It positions both approaches as strategic frameworks for advancing impactful, boundary crossing, and socially responsive teaching and learning.
More About this Workshop
Service learning and eService learning are high impact pedagogies that bridge theory and practice through structured community engagement in both physical and digital environments. In the age of AI, these approaches are critical for developing ethical information practices, critical thinking, and socially responsive LIS professionals.
This workshop presents a structured framework for integrating service learning into LIS curricula, including course redesign, community partnership development, and assessment strategies. Participants will examine implementation models, analyze case examples from Information Literacy and User Education courses, and collaboratively develop a service learning integrated course plan.
The session emphasizes alignment with learning outcomes, reflective practice, ethical engagement, and sustainable institutional support. By the end, participants will produce a practical design template and an actionable implementation plan adaptable to their institutional context.
