Community‐Engaged Pedagogy in the Virtual Classroom: Integrating eService‐Learning Into Online Leadership Education

Evidence suggests community‐engaged pedagogies are as effective in online courses as in traditional face‐to‐face delivery; however, guidance and examples for potential early adopters is limited, particularly in leadership education. As online delivery for leadership education expands, leadership educators may be hesitant to redesign community‐engaged learning experiences for the online environment as a result of pedagogical and logistical concerns. Nevertheless, virtual community‐engaged learning, or e‐service‐learning, has promise as an effective high‐impact educational practice within leadership education. The current paper describes theoretical and practical considerations for leadership educators who intend to development community‐engaged online courses.
