Educators need to create an informed scientifically aware citizenry, especially in the era of the COVID-19 pandemic, where public health measures have focused on increasing adoption of safe behaviors for reducing the transmission of COVID-19. Non-major science students make up an important, yet understudied, part of our public, given that they constitute tomorrow's voters, workers, consumers, and policy-makers. Expecting that non-majors may benefit from a module connecting COVID-19 to community education, we implemented a novel E-service-learning module in light of the transition from an in-person course to an online platform. Our 4-week module included expert-led lectures, assigned digital infographics about COVID-19 safety precautions, and a required post-reflection assignment summarizing their learning gains. Out of 112 enrolled students, 87 consented to have their reflections analyzed and 8 students chose to participate in additional one-on-one online interviews. In an effort to determine which parts of our module garnered the most student commentary, we grouped post-reflection and interview data into four categories: service-learning infographic, service-learning guest lectures, information on COVID-19, and the broader implications of COVID-19. While 13% of students explicitly referenced infographics in their reflections, a far greater proportion (37%) explicitly referenced learning gains related to the expert-led lectures. Based on these findings, we encourage other educators to continue to explore the impact of E-service-learning content and assignments to help maximize learning in an online classroom environment during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond.

非主要生物学课程中COVID-19电子服务学习模块的影响。

教育工作者需要创建一个具有科学知识的公民，尤其是在COVID-19大流行时代，那里的公共卫生措施集中于增加采用安全行为以减少COVID-19的传播。由于非科学专业的学生构成了明天的选民，工人，消费者和政策制定者，因此它们构成了我们公众的重要组成部分，但未被充分研究。期望非专业人士可以从将COVID-19与社区教育联系起来的模块中受益，我们鉴于从面对面课程到在线平台的过渡，实施了一个新颖的电子服务学习模块。我们为期4周的模块包括专家指导的讲座，分配的有关COVID-19安全预防措施的数字信息图以及必要的反思后作业，以总结他们的学习成果。在112名在读学生中，87位同意分析他们的想法，并且8位学生选择了参加其他一对一的在线访谈。为了确定模块的哪个部分获得了最多的学生评论，我们将反思后和访谈后的数据分为四类：服务学习信息图，服务学习客座讲课，有关COVID-19的信息以及新型冠状病毒肺炎（COVID-19）：新冠肺炎（COVID-19）：COVID-19。13％的学生在反思中明确引用了信息图表，而更大比例的学生（37％）明确引用了与专家主持的讲座有关的学习成果。基于这些发现，我们鼓励其他教育者继续探索电子服务学习内容和作业的影响，以帮助在COVID-19大流行期间及以后的在线课堂环境中最大限度地学习。
