Computing for the social good: a service learning project

Published: 27 June 2011 Publication History

Abstract

Computing for the Social Good [2] is an umbrella term for any activity which strives to focus students to consider the following fundamental question; Instead of using computers to make money or do basic scientific research, how can one use computing to do good in the world? Since computing students rarely study abroad, let alone undertake a service learning semester, the development of an overseas service learning experience in computing would serve a double purpose.
