Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: This paper reports preliminary first-year results from an "itr"-funded National Science Foundation (NSF) grant enabling two central Iowa universities-Drake University and Iowa State University--to assess the efficacy of service-learning interventions in the dissemination of Information Technology Literacy (ITL) beyond the campus gates. It introduces service-learning, a pedagogy that promotes mutually beneficial partnerships between academic institutions and communities, and reflects on the particular challenges service-learning poses in practice. After less than a year, a number of lessons learned are emerging that will significantly impact implementation in years two and three of the project.
