Abstract

A summer practicum experience was designed to meet the academic goals and requirements of a learning design and technology (LDT)-focused graduate program, in a way that would simultaneously center a social justice issue in the local community. Three students would work together to learn about food insecurity in their college town and create an online hub to address immediate hunger needs, provide public education on the topic, elicit support among community members not vulnerable to food insecurity, and do it in a non-stigmatizing way.
