CS 340 Project
Fall 2012
What is service learning?
• Service learning has been defined as a “credit‐bearing, educational experience in which students participate in an organized service activity that meets identified community needs and reflect on the service activity in such a way as to gain further understanding of course content, a broader appreciation of the discipline, and an enhanced sense of civic responsibility.”

Our service: Video projects
• Our groups will create videos aimed at target audience – Possibilities: middle school, high school, or college students;
parents of students a particular age; or the public.
– Minimum length: 6 – 9 minutes• The idea is to get them thinking and learning
about legal and ethical issues related to their use of computers and other technology.
• We’ll incorporate our work into the CS 340 website Right Clicks
