Abstract

This chapter provides the Technology-Enhanced Community (TEC) Partnership Model to enrich higher education. The TEC Partnership Model addresses the incorporation of community resource professionals into coursework to provide authentic learning experiences for students. The model is situated in a case study of an online Human Rights Education course, designed to serve the needs and academic interests of K-12 practitioners, community practitioners, and students in a variety of disciplines. This chapter describes the experiences and impact from both perspectives of the partnership and provides examples from the Human Rights Education course to show the model in practice. The final section also provides an overview of the strategies others can use to incorporate similar partnerships and collaborations among instructors, students, student-practitioners, and practitioners in the field.
