Service learning (SL) is a form of experiential learning in which students are involved in community service activities that are related to academic course objectives. A key aspect that separates SL from other forms of experiential learning is the mutually beneficial nature of the service activities. Much of the SL and international SL (ISL) literature has focused on positive learning outcomes for students, with much less focus on the benefits of SL to the community. Speech, Language, and Hearing Services (SLHS) in Zambia is an intensive SL short-term study abroad program. This paper describes the benefits to the community via the SLHS in Zambia program.

Zusammenfassung. Vorgestellt wird die revidierte Form des Allgemeinen Interessen-Struktur-Tests (AIST-R) und des Umwelt-Struktur-Tests (UST-R). Das Verfahren basiert auf dem hexagonalen Interessenmodell von John Holland und ermöglicht die Messung von Interessen einer Person und Eigenschaften beruflicher Umwelten auf sechs Dimensionen. Im Vergleich zur Erstauflage des Verfahrens wurde fast die Hälfte der Items verändert, was die Verständlichkeit fördern und zur Berücksichtigung neuerer Berufsfelder führen soll. Der AIST-R/UST-R ist ein ökonomisch durchzuführendes und gut zu interpretierendes Verfahren, dessen Anwendungsbereich vor allem bei Berufs- und Laufbahnentscheidungen sowie in der Forschung gesehen wird. Der AIST-R wurde anhand eines verwandten Verfahrens, eines Persönlichkeitsverfahrens und an Schulnoten validiert. Inwieweit sich die revidierte Form des AIST auch als valide für z. B. berufliche Kriterien erweist, werden erst weitere Studien klären können. Für die Validität des UST-R und der Konsistenz- und Kongruenzannahmen liegen bislang nur Untersuchungen mit der unrevidierten Form vor.

The wind industry is positioned to contribute significantly to a clean energy future, yet the level of community opposition has at times led to unviable projects. Social acceptance is crucial and can be improved in part through better practice community engagement and benefit-sharing. This case study provides a “snapshot” of current community engagement and benefit-sharing practices for Australian wind farms, with a particular emphasis on practices found to be enhancing positive social outcomes in communities. Five methods were used to gather views on effective engagement and benefit-sharing: a literature review, interviews and a survey of the wind industry, a Delphi panel, and a review of community engagement plans. The overarching finding was that each community engagement and benefit-sharing initiative should be tailored to a community’s context, needs and expectations as informed by community involvement. This requires moving away from a “one size fits all” approach. This case study is relevant to wind developers, energy regulators, local communities and renewable energy-focused non-government organizations. It is applicable beyond Australia to all contexts where wind farm development has encountered conflicted societal acceptance responses.

Use Of Social Media

Social media as a communication tool has enabled governments around the world to interact with citizens for customer service, access to information and to direct community involvement needs. The trends around the world show recognition by governments that social media content may constitute records and should be managed accordingly. The literature shows that governments and organisations in other countries, particularly in Europe, have social media policies and strategies to guide the management of social media content, but there is less evidence among African countries. Thus the purpose of this paper is to examine the extent of usage of social media by the Botswana government in order to determine the necessity for the governance of liquid communication. Liquid communication here refers to the type of communication that goes easily back and forth between participants involved through social media. The ARMA principle of availability requires that where there is information governance, an organisation shall maintain its information assets in a manner that ensures their timely, efficient and accurate retrieval. The study adopted a qualitative case study approach where data were collected through documentary reviews and interviews among purposively selected employees of the Botswana government. This study revealed that the Botswana government has been actively using social media platforms to interact with its citizens since 2011 for increased access, usage and awareness of services offered by the government. Nonetheless, the study revealed that the government had no official documentation on the use of social media, and policies and strategies that dealt with the governance of liquid communication. This study recommends the governance of liquid communication to ensure timely, efficient and accurate retrieval when needed for business purposes.

Community Based Design

This study confirms that lack of space due to high population density restricts household members and the barangay to comply with the existing law regarding composting. With these, community involvement in the design stage of compost bin as initial stage was done accordingly. The participants were voluntarily interviewed and were given questionnaires, which was endorsed and approved by barangay committee.
