ABSTRACT
Before the best practice of using service-learning in classrooms can become the next practice of using service-eLearning in multiple formats, the authors need to educate practitioners about those issues, use existing examples to teach them how to use service-eLearning, and provide some items to consider when implementing service-eLearning. Electronic delivery, including service-eLearning, is a vehicle that is already being used to develop Gardner's five minds skills. When considering service-eLearning, community partners may have greater capacity to offer students workplace skills through online learning formats and by partnering with institutions to create community solutions than either could have previously provided independently. For service-eLearning, a different and, in some cases, new set of institutional resources needs to be accessed and examined. Individual reflection in service-eLearning contexts can be accompanied by social reflection when groups, individuals, and community partners continue dialogue through technology formats. Relationships with community partners start long before meeting some of the students.
