Abstract

Projects which compel students to work in team situations with community partners are one method for building so-called soft skills in computing majors. The use of team-oriented, community-based service learning projects can provide meaningful and productive experiences for students but must be selected and managed carefully by faculty. This paper discusses a sample of recent community-based projects at one campus of a large, multi-campus research university. Experiences with community-based projects involving Web design, systems design and implementation, and digital storytelling are discussed, as well as the benefits and challenges encountered in the projects.
