This paper explores the use of collaboration theory and the consensus building framework to develop institutional strategic alliances at two North American postsecondary institutions. Collaboration between institutional and/or external partners offers rich opportunities to develop creative programming that provides students with opportunities for service learning situated in a well-planned curriculum. The collaboration development capitalizes on mutually beneficial outcomes for all partners and affords more informed decision making and impact than if partners were working individually. This paper highlights two successful partnerships and outlines the future direction of those collaborative alliances.

Service-learning was introduced into Hong Kong over a decade ago, yet there is a research gap about the self-perceived student learning outcomes, partly due to the lack of a reliable measurement instrument across disciplines and service-learning types. This study evaluated a recently created Service-Learning Outcomes Measurement Scale (S-LOMS) through confirmatory factor analysis with 629 students. S-LOMS measures self-perceived student learning outcomes with 56 items covering various learning outcome domains under four higher-order categories: knowledge application; personal and professional skills; civic orientation and engagement; and self-awareness. Alternative measurement models were compared, with the results indicating that although a model with 11 domains and without higher-order categories was preferred, there was also support for a model with 10 domains subsumed under the four higher-order categories. Multi-sample analyses indicated that both models were stable across gender.

<p><em>The aim of the research is to improve the service learning outcomes of the volleyball through aids such as hula hoop, javelin, raffia cord, net, cone, plastic ball, sponsors ball in the learning process of students of SMA N 4 Surakarta.</em></p><p><em>            </em><em>This research is a classroom action research (CAR). This research was conducted in two cycles which each cycle consists of planning, implementation of the action, observation,</em><em> </em><em>reflection. The subjects of the research are the students of</em><em> class</em><em> X</em><em> </em><em>IIS 4 SMA N 4 Surakart</em><em>a academic year 2016/2017, with the number of 30 students, 13 students and 17 students. Sources of data in this study are primary data and secondary data. Technique of collecting data with test and observation. Data validity using method triangulation. Data analysis using percentage technique, where from the data that has been obtained, then analyzed by percentage to see the learning result in volleyball game on learning in school.</em><em>         </em><em></em></p><p><em>The results showed that learning with the optimization of the use of tools can improve the learning outcomes of service on volleyball in students of class X IIS 4 SMA N 4 Surakarta 2016/2017 academic year. In the first cycle, the results of service learning on the volleyball students reached 63.33% or 19 students of 30 students have entered the criteria thoroughly while 11 students or 36.67% in the category has not been completed. In the second cycle there is an increase in the percentage of student learning outcomes in the category of completion of 83.33% or a number of 25 students. Until the end of the meeting there are 5 students or 16.67% that have not been completed.</em></p><p><em>Based on the result of the research, it can be concluded that the learning with the optimization of the use of the tools can improve the learning outcomes of service on the volleyball in the students of class X IIS 4 SMA N 4 Surakarta in the academic year 2016/2017.</em></p><p><em> </em></p>

Interactive whiteboards (IWBs) can be a great asset to teachers trying to help students visualize what they are trying to teach, especially for supporting instructors and teams of students in class. However, commercial IWBs can be costly and difficult to operate. This paper describes the development of a low-cost IWB using a video game controller and “homebrew” infrared pens, and how its usability and technology acceptance will be tested in the context of sociology courses. We propose that the use of low-cost and highly-usable technologies in sociology courses may enhance student learning outcomes and retention rates as a way to fit the learning needs of students and supporting them in the engagement of critical thinking.

The purpose of this article is to highlight the use of innovation sprints, flash teams, and inter-disciplinary collaboration in sport management programs that reduce the apparent proficiency gaps that exist between the expectations of industry and the college graduate. Companies in a variety of industries are using these tools to solve complex problems as the velocity of change and volume of data are increasing at a rate that makes constant innovation a necessity. However, higher education traditions and curricular silos appear to be causing graduates to fall further behind the needs of industry. Two innovation sprints have shown the ability to provide students with improved skills for industry while enhancing their understanding of sport management competencies through rapid prototyping, human-centered design, and flash teams. One innovation sprint involved a cross-campus collaborative experience. The second focused on a multi-college/university collaboration within sport management. Though both experiences produced better-than-expected results, the inter-disciplinary sprint may have produced a higher level of outputs. Furthermore, faculty and students alike appear to benefit from inter-disciplinary interactions as everyone learns more about each field represented and allows everyone to have an equal voice through a common lens. If sport management programs remain in their designated silo, their graduates may be falling further behind the expectation of employers. Previous literature suggests the benefits of innovative practices significantly enhance learning and drive creative problem-solving. Therefore, sport management programs may want to exploreusing innovation sprints, flash teams, and inter-disciplinary collaboration practices as viable practices to enhance student learning outcomes.

This study aims to improve service learning outcomes in volleyball games for students of Class XI K1 of SMK Negeri 3 Sukawati 2016/2017. The subjects of this study were students of Class XI Karawitan 1 in the 2016/2017 school year which amounted to 25 students. This research is a classroom action research conducted in two cycles. Each cycle consists of 2 meetings which consist of planning, action, observation, evaluation, and reflection. Data on student learning outcomes were collected through individual practice tests. The data collected was analyzed using descriptive analysis. The results of this study indicate the application of the cooperative learning model Student Team Achievement Division (STAD) can improve student learning outcomes indicated by the results of the study before the average action is obtained by students with number 7, in the first cycle increases with an average mastery of material by 67 in the less category, with a 17% increase. in cycle II it increased to 74, so the increase occurred at 17%. With enough categories. But overall, there has been a significant increase. Therefore, it is recommended that teachers in the learning process activities can use the STAD type cooperative approach to improve student learning achievement
