Muck Review Civic engagement is a moving target, as new forms of communication and social connection bring new possibilities for engagement with civil society. But in the face of such change, the importance of colleges and universities as civic educators remains. This volume will be of great value to college-level instructors as they look for ways to foster greater civic engagement among their students; it will be equally valuable to scholars looking to build on cutting-edge research on how the college classroom can serve a civic purpose. - David E. Campbell, Packey J. Dee Professor of American Democracy, University of Notre Dame, USA Long Description Technology and Civic Engagement in the College Classroom: Engaging the Unengaged explores the intersection of the traditional classroom with the broad array of online technologies available to faculty and students. This edited volume provides theoretical and pedagogical justifications for both in-class and online means Political Science instructors have developed and tested to engage an increasingly disengaged college student population. The approaches and technologies examined are innovative and varied, but a common connection between all of the offerings is the question of how and in what specific ways the incorporation of technology into the college classroom can foster student civic engagement.
