What Is Service-learning?

Service-learning integrates meaningful community service with instruction and reflection to enrich the learning experience, teach civic responsibility, and strengthen communities. Studies have shown that students who participate in service-learning are better prepared for a career in their chosen field than students who do not participate in service-learning.

In computer software development, service-learning provides students with hands-on, real-world project experiences that cannot be replicated by a tightly controlled classroom project. The Agile Software Factory is dedicated to the cause of service-learning. By offering a quality service-learning experience to students, the ASF prepares them with the skills that employers are seeking.
