Leveraging an Online Course to Prepare for Effective Community Engagement: Local and Global

Part of Enriching Scholarship 2019

In fall 2018, an interdisciplinary team of U-M faculty and community engagement professionals worked with the Office of Academic Innovation to launch a massive open online course (MOOC) called Collaborating for Change. The course covers foundational principles, concepts, and skills for anyone — from novices to experienced practitioners — who wants to work more effectively with community members and organizations. The team intentionally designed this course to be flexible, including modules and activities that can be mixed and matched, taken all together or in chunks, and completed independently or in tandem with facilitated coursework, pre-departure training, etc.

This workshop will introduce participants to the course content and cover a wide range of ways to leverage it in different contexts, including but not limited to: in-person courses, community-academic partnerships, client projects, education and work abroad, research projects, internships, public scholarship, and student organizations. The workshop will begin with a brief overview of the course and its development, including ways U-M faculty, staff, and students have used it, followed by an activity in which participants will design a plan for using it in their own contexts. Presenters will also share some new companion materials designed specifically for instructors and facilitators.

This session is part of the Public Engagement theme during Enriching Scholarship 2019: a series of workshops and discussions intentionally and collaboratively crafted by units all over campus to foster engaged learning and scholarship in service of public impact.
