Momentum are excited to be part of the IDOL project with such impressive partners. Intergenerational Digital Service Learning (IDOL) will equip university staff to introduce digital tandem teaching skills to older and younger students.
IDOL aims to design and develop a new teaching approach which empowers HEI staff and lecturers to implement intergenerational digital service learning through; innovative modes of collaboration, improved digital skills and better understanding of the role of service learning not just a “third mission” activity but as an essential part of HE educational mission.
The Project will work on the following results:
RESULT 01
PRACTICAL GUIDE TO INTERGENERATIONAL DIGITAL-SERVICE LEARNING
Introduces HEI lecturers to the topic with rigorously researched, up-to-date knowledge on the impact of the pandemic on the practice of service learning, education and intergenerational relationships. The guide will provide best practices to shift service learning to digital service learning and will introduce the innovative method of “tandem teaching”.
RESULT 02
DIGITAL SERVICE-LEARNING TOOLKIT
The Toolkit will provide practical guidance and tools for HEI educators and lecturers, wishing to incorporate digital service-learning activities into their curricula/teaching strategies, with a focus on increasing their confidence in using digital tools. These tools will practically support HEI staff, students and the older learners to practically implement the service-learning project either partially or fully online.
RESULT 03
IDOL HACKATHON GUIDE
The Guide will design, develop and implement a transferable and replicable model of HEI led intergenerational e-service learning which has the power and potential to positively build bridges among generations and help students & older learners in HEIs to collaborate beneficially.
