Appendix for Instructors
FUNDAMENTALS OF COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT: A SOURCEBOOK FOR STUDENTS
Assignment creation support
The following appendix has been created to help instructors more readily create assignments in support of learning with the Pressbook Fundamentals of Community Engagement: A Sourcebook for Students. We suggest that instructors consider assigning 3-4 of the exercises embedded in the sourcebook.
To create flexibility for as many applications as possible, submission functionality is not embedded in the Pressbook. Rather, instructors should require that students submit the answers to the exercises in a separate Word file through their learning management system.
The following is a list of the exercises available in the Pressbook:
Module 1 Exercise 1: Pre-Module Reflection
Module 1 Exercise 2: Reflecting on Your Role in Communities
Module 1 Exercise 3: Matching Activity
Module 1 Exercise 4: Reflecting on Your Feelings About Community-Engaged Learning
Module 2 Exercise 1: Pre-Module Reflection
Module 2 Exercise 2: Using Purposeful Language
Module 2 Exercise 3: Starting a Reflection Assignment
Module 2 Exercise 4: Reflecting Critically
Module 2 Exercise 5: Applying Course Content
Module 2 Exercise 6: Concluding a Reflection Assignment
Module 2 Exercise 7: Module Reflection
Module 2 Exercise 8: Knowledge Check
Module 2 Exercise 9: Mark the Words
Module 3 Exercise 1: Putting the Principles Together
Module 4 Exercise 1: What Would You Do?
Module 4 Exercise 2: Conducting Community-Engaged Work
Module 4 Exercise 3: Following Community-Engaged Work
Instructors might also consider assigning the pre- and post-benchmarking activities that aim to assess knowledge levels prior to and following completing the Pressbook.
