N2 - Academic service-learning, especially at the higher education level, poses a variety of challenges for teachers. In addition to the obvious challenges with coordinating and managing service opportunities for students, academic service-learning requires that students’ learning be linked with their service project, and that their learning gains be assessed like other academic subjects. The breadth and the diversity of the experiences means that teachers need to possess knowledge and expertise in a broad range of educational areas—for example, experiential education, reflective learning, civic learning, etc.
