Concepts to Real World Implementation via Service Learning

摘要

This paper presents the experience I had implementing a Service Learning component into a Operating System/Networking 300 level course. The goal was to get the students to take the concepts from the classroom and textbook and use them to solve real world problems that would affect real people. The method for measuring the effects of this project was the journal entries students kept throughout the semester. In the end, the students not only successfully applied the concepts but felt they had gone beyond the material presented in the classroom and had an impact on the world around them.
