Abstract

This guide contains all the resources needed to implement a postgraduate Continuing
Professional Development (CPD) module for lecturers who wish to build, or
enhance, community engaged research and learning (CERL) projects in the modules
they teach, as part of the Higher Education curriculum. CERL (or service-learning, as it
can be known) is a high-impact activity in Higher Education (Kuh, 2008), increasing
student engagement and learning. CERL also supports community goals, and makes
teaching more interesting for lecturers.
This module is designed to build capacity among participants for CERL, including
developing relevant knowledge, skills, attitudes and values. Our approach to this
module aligns with CERL as a pedagogy, which involves authentic, experiential learning,
driven by collaboration and engaged participation, and underpinned by reflection.
