Lazar, Jonathan, and Jennifer Preece. "Implementing service learning in an online communities course." Proceedings of the 1999 Conference of the International Association for Information Management. 1999.

This paper details the incorporation of service learning into an Information Systems course focused on Online Communities at the University of Maryland Baltimore County. Through a blend of academic curriculum and community service, students engaged in real-world projects related to their studies over two years. The paper outlines the course's background, the necessary structure for integrating service learning, the community projects undertaken by students, and key lessons learned to guide instructors aiming to implement service learning in similar courses.
