Service-Learning: A Guideline for Lecturers

This Open Educational Resource serves as a guideline for lecturers wishing to acquaint themselves with a different and more hands-on pedagodical approach. Through the practical experience that students gain while providing a service to the community, they can learn more deeply and re-introduce their practical experience back to the course.
