From EASLwiki: Encyclopedia of Academic Service Learning

Jump to: navigation, search

The Encyclopedia of Academic Service Learning is a repository and taxonomy of information on techniques, research, best practice, experiments and experience with service learning in higher education. The repository is here, but the taxonomy is yours, determined by the topics you post and the nature of information in each topic. Thus, the collective understanding of those interested in the field is the determining factor in how information about the field should be organized -- and in fact is organized in EASL.

BECOMING AN EASL WRITER

The following subheadings explain how to see and write articles for EASL.


VIEWING INFORMATION

"Pages" of the EASL can be read by entering a term, such as "community-based" in the search box and using "Go" to go directly to a page on that topic. If there is not a page on the topic, "Go" will invite you to add one. To follow themes, such as research on service learning, enter the term in the search box and "Search" will return all pages with that term mentioned.


EDITING

You may edit pages to correct facts or expand on descriptions. Selecting the "edit" tab at the top of the page or at the top of a section will bring up a text editor. Make any changes or additions and "Save page" at the bottom. All changes are tracked in the database so histories of each page are available.


ADDING PAGES

If you would like to start a new topic that does not yet have a page of its own, enter the topic in the search box and select "Go." You will be asked whether you would like to create that page. Click on the link, and use the text editor to create the page.
