Under normal circumstances, the SLP activitieswould produce a physical product or working prototype that would be installed at a communitysite. In 20/FA, however, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, various cautionary measures andguidelines were put in place by the University to prevent the spread of the virus within the campuscommunity. This hampered the usual ways of carrying out SLP activities in this course. Underthese circumstances, after much deliberation among the course instructors, a simpler but stillmeaningful project concept was devised in an effort to mitigate the impacts on SLP activities

The idea was called service-learning. Bringle and Hatcher [3] defined service learning as“a credit-bearing educational experience in which students participate in an organized serviceactivity that meets identified community needs and reflection on the service activity in such away as to gain further understanding of the course content, a broader appreciation of thediscipline and an enhanced sense of civic responsibility” (p. 222).Community service and civic engagement has been ingrained in the Indian culture from a verylong time.

To increase participation in volunteer activities many universities have adopted mandatoryapproaches such as including community service hours in graduation requirements. However,research has shown mandatory volunteer work impedes long-term and impactful servicelearning; instead, voluntary approaches to increase community service for college campuses aremore effective at creating an enriching service learning experience (Stukas et al. 1999).
