摘要：Student success is a growing concern in higher education institutions. How can educators create courses that better prepare students for their future careers? The purpose of this paper is to present recommendations that will assist educators in helping students to be successful in college. This paper begins by briefly discussing a service-learning project (SLP). Next, the paper compares the advantages and disadvantages of completing a simulated project against a service-learning project in a web development course from a teacher’s perspective. Additionally, this paper explores the students’ and clients’ perceptions of the advantages and disadvantages of SLPs. This paper also outlines a model for teaching a web development course with the integration of a service-learning project. Finally, the paper concludes with the idea that community service-based projects can benefit all parties involved and should be considered when designing the pedagogy for an advanced web development course. This study, along with others referenced in the paper, finds that service-learning projects provide a framework for structuring an effective course curriculum.
