Developing students graduate attributes in service learning project through online platform

Abstract

This paper describes an e-Service Learning approach to Network Cabling Infrastructure and Wifi project. Engineering undergraduate students enrolled in an ICT Community Service course have been installing network including cabling and wireless networking technology for low cost primary and secondary school. This study demonstrates the basic component of service learning (academic content, community experience and reflection) concurrent with the five phase of service learning. The purpose of this study is to identify students' teamwork competency, students graduate attributes competency and students' perception of e-service learning. Virtual meetings and online reflection activities incorporated before, during and after service learning to ensure students have the potential to articulate students service experience, academic concepts, and reflection in an organize manner. Feedback from students may assist course developer and content developer to better understanding of students' challenges in engaging the e-service learning platform.
