This morning I had the pleasure of speaking at the conference organized by ULIM's Library: “UNIVERSITAS
EUROPEA: Towards a Knowledge-Based Society through Europeanisation and Globalization"
Previously on this blog I posted the Call for Proposals as well as the Conference Program:
https://jainmoldova.blogspot.com/2020/10/ulim-symposium-education-libraries-in.html
I presented on the topic "Civic Engagement in the Online Classroom"
Abstract
In this presentation I will discuss the development and implementation of a civics project in an online American Government course. The challenges and opportunities of managing civic engagement projects in an online format will be explored. I have taught American National Government online for thirteen semesters. During that time I administered anonymous pre-test and post-test surveys and collected Reflection Papers and Discussion Board Posts about each of the Civics Projects. In addition, the university administered anonymous end-of-course evaluations, and the Center for Civic Engagement administered anonymous student surveys of this Citizen Scholar course. I will analyze the results of the survey data along with content analysis of the student reflection papers and discussion board posts in order to determine the impact of the civics project on students' civic learning and political engagement in the online course delivery format. Lessons learned are applicable to courses in fields that seek to incorporate service learning, community-based research, or civic engagement in the online context.
